Rich and moist orange and almond cake.
Easy to do, great for children who likes baking.

Free delivery up to 3 miles from centre of Eccles, Monday to Friday only. 9am – 2pm. Or collection 7 days a week 9 – 2pm.
Please allow 2 days.

Or if you prefer try making this wonde4rful cake.

You will need 2 bowels
Blender
Hand mixer
Cake tin with removable base 8 inch, if using smaller / bigger then the cooking time will need to be altered.
6 eggs, separated
250g ground almonds
handful of flaked almonds
100g caster sugar split into 2 equal parts.
4 or 5 oranges

Put the oranges whole including skin in a pan with a tea cup of water, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, checking that the water does not evaporate, if so add more.
If you have a pressure / multi cooker this is much quicker.
Add 2 teacups of water, set on stew mode for 15 minutes.

When done, cut up the oranges including the skin moving any pips and blend in to a pulp and allow to cool.
In a bowel whisk the egg whites until frothy then add half the sugar and whisk until shiny white and peaks form
In another bowel, add the other half of the sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until pale.

Add the orange pulp to the yolk mixture and mix well.;
Then add small amounts of the egg whites, using a spatula to gently fold in. Doing this traps air so do not whisk. Keep doing this until all the whites have gone and folded in well.
Line a cake tin, bottom and sides. I rub a little butter around the sides and use this to stick on the grease proof paper.. Fill with the cake mixture and sprinkle over the top with the flakes almonds.

Put this into a pre heated oven at 170 for 45 – 60 minutes. Put a knife in to the centre, should come out clean,. If not back in the oven for a few minutes and try again.

Philippine pork adobe.
Similar to pork casserole.

With this recipe you can use what ever you want and the amount will depend how much you need.
The only ingredients which is essential is garlic, pork, water, soya sauce, rice wine vinegar although white vinegar will do, onion and pineapple.
It’s best and quicker if you have a steamer / multi cooker.

This is what I used and made enough for at least 2.
3 pork steaks chopped. You can use any type of pork cut into chunks.
Small tin of pineapple chunks
3 tablespoon dark soya sauce
3 table spoon rice wine vinegar
6 garlic cloves crushed and chopped.
250ml water
5 small baby potatoes
2 chopped chillis
1 chopped pepper
1 onion chopped
brown the pork in a pan with a little oil. Then add your own ingredients .Mine was potatoes, chilli, green pepper, onion. Cook for 3 minutes, then add everything else but not the water. Cook for another 4 minutes.
Add this to your steamer or multi cooker on stetting, STEW for 30 minutes with the water.
Or in a slow cooker or the pan on a gently heat for 2 hours. You may need to add water if it begins to dry out.
Or i can make it for you. £5 for a large portion

Home made chilli con Carne.
Sorry for the bad photo, had nothing to add, forgot to buy rice, had no potatoes,

The amounts will vary depending how much you need.
Most of the ingredients you can change / take out or add something else

There is no need to follow everything on most recipes, experiment.

This is my take and I made enough for 4 good size portions.

500 g lean minced beef . Can use a mixture or pork, beef or lamb.
Half teaspoon English mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
3 chillies chopped
1 onion chopped
tin of beans. I used mixed beans
small tin chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 beef oxo cube de solved in 250ml boiling water
1 pepper chopped
mushrooms chopped
3 garlic gloves, crushed and chopped.
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon cumin.
Pinch black pepper
2 tablespoon olive oil

heat olive oil in pan add meat and cook until it starts to go brown. Drain of excess fluid. Back on a gently heat. Add the mushrooms, peppers, garlic, chilli, onion and tomato paste or what ever you are using. Cook until everything is soft. Add the beans, tin tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cumin and coriander. Gently simmer for 3 – 4 minutes. Add the Oxo and simmer for 10 minutes. Done.
How hot you like it will depend on how many chillies and the type or chilli powder / K and N pepper which is hotter then chilli powder
