REC: Raspberry and Coconut Loaf
Apparently, this is pretty good. I don't know. I didn't get any :-/
The 4 girls in the office demolished it...... now 3 a pledging their undying love for me :-) Or maybe it was the fact I said I was going to make Carrot-walnut- sultana-coconut-pineapple muffins with a Tangello cream cheese frosting for them for today??!! Anyhoos......... Raspberry and Coconut Loaf 1&3/4 cups dessicated coconut 1&1/2 cups coconut milk (that's one 'normal sized' can for us Aussies) 1 cup caster sugar 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 1&2/3 cups self raising flour 1 cup frozen raspberries pure icing sugar, to serve Combine coconut milk and coconut in a bowl. Cover and stand for 30mins. Preheat oven to 170C. Line a 7cm deep, 10.5cm X 20.5cm (base) loaf pan with baking paper. Overhang by 2cm at both long ends. (Doing that is a pain in the ass, I just used my new silicone loaf 'pan') Using a metal spoon, stir sugar, egg and vanilla into the coconut mix. Sift flour over top and gently stir until combined. Fold in the raspberries. Spoon mixture into the pan and bake for 1hr and 15mins, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool loaf in pan for 10mins. Lift onto a wire rack (it's a heavey sucker too!!) to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar and slice to serve. (Recipe courtesy of Super Food Ideas mag) I'll be making the Greek Yoghurt and Lemon loaf on the weekend/Sunday. -- Peter Lucas Brisbane Australia 'Enjoy today, it was paid for by a veteran' |

I think your icing sugar would be the same as our powdered confectioners sugar. We use that to make frostings and sometimes sprinkle it through a sifter over cakes. We do have superfine sugar here too; I just never had a recipe call for it. Would 170 C be the same as 350 degrees or 375 degrees for the oven? Why did you find placing a paper in the pan and hanging it over the side difficult? If the recipe calls for lining a pan with paper, I usually spray the pan first with Pam, and then press the paper into the pan and hang it over the sides; not ends of the pan, to lift it out. I guess I needed a translation; sorry. |

That conversion program is pretty good; I downloaded it. Too bad it didn't convert dollars to sterling and euro, I could use that, but I guess its for measurements only, which will come in handy when I try to read your next two recipes. Thanks. --------------------------- |

Soft Icing Mixture (used for a smoother, less firm setting icing) is good because it is blended with wheat starch but you can't use that for gluten intolerant people. You could use pure icing sugar for a gluten free icing if you wanted but that would have resulted in a harder 'finish' than I wanted for this particular cake. (I get a lot of celebration cake making requests.) Sometimes for a better pure white (stay-soft) fluffy frosting or for icing requiring a 'truer' colour using paste/oil based colours I use 'Solite' instead of butter (which is available at places like cake decorating centres.) It's basically fat with the crap whipped out of it but it gives a gorgeous bright, white, soft result and takes the paste colours beautifully. > I also call that "coffee sugar" although its real name is raw sugar. How do > you usually use that in cooking? I think I've probably only used it a couple of times in/on something cooked (I think it was on the top of a particular sort of muffins that when sprinkled on top, along with crushed walnuts or hazelnut meal prior to baking caramelises well in high temps yet retaining a certain 'bite/crunch') but my hubby seems to prefer raw sugar in his coffee so we always have it. Raw sugar is sometimes called for in certain biscuits that have less processed items such as oatmeal and wholemeal flours. It has a slightly lighter 'honey' flavour than Demerara and is lighter/nicer when mixed into crumbled toppings for apple based desserts not being quite as strong. Strangely enough with all my damn sugars I don't eat much of it myself as I find sugars too addictive for me. Demerara (to me) has too much of a mollasses flavour for coffee but many people like it. You can also get raw caster sugar but in the things I use caster sugar in, raw would be slightly too deep in colour for what I want so I don't buy that one. CSR actually make "Coffee Sugar" (that has a light syrup coating to the grains with an ever so subtle coffee flavour to it) besides their "Demerara" but I can hardly tell the difference so I usually get whichever one of those two my hand reaches first on the supermarket shelf. > Love the flavour of brown sugar, marvellous for slices. Made a wonderful > orange syrup with it, too. Butter, squeezed oranges, and brown sugar. Yes you're quite right about the slices and I always use it for things that need a deep flavour and depth of colour such as Anzacs, fruit cakes and deep spicy cakes, muffins, buns. Great for caramel sauces and things. My husband uses brown sugar in some sort of marinade sauce thing for he mixes with Sake and Japanese Soy and something else for abalone. I wouldn't know what that's like cos I don't like abalone. He uses the light brown sugar in some stir fry dishes and palm sugar in some of his (Austral)Asian cooking. > Arnotts' secret ingredient in quite a few of their bikkies! I remember my mother used to have 'Treacle' she'd use for something but I can't remember what. I imagine that's somewhere between the Mollasses & Golden Syrup stage. L. |

He > uses the light brown sugar in some stir fry dishes and palm sugar > in some of his (Austral)Asian cooking. I had a block of very dark brown palm sugar in the fridge for years, very useful stuff, and for some asian things it was perfect. There was an Indonesian dry stir fried thing with thin strips of beef, soy, palm sugar, tamarind, dried chilli and garlic. Without the palm sugar it just wasn't as good. -- ant |

An episode of "The Simpsons" had Abe Simpson (Homer's father) declaiming, "I'm an old man, and I'm full of **** and vinegar!"
