Oaty Molasses Cake

Am I losing my skill of using the touch pad? I do appologize to whom recieves e-mails of unfinished posts from my blog. It's just because that my hand accidentaly touches the touch pad and makes a click on "publish post" before it is finished.

I mentioned about the cake which I created on the post of monday. I was too chatty that day and promised to give the recipe on tuesday. It's still thursday for some of you but friday here. So this means that I'm quite late to share it.

It's just cruel of me to be that lazy. I bet there is a huge crowd of whom are waiting for it curiously :)))

Here the recipe... Quite simple... If I could do it any of you can do it. Even whom are keeping out of the kitchen :)))


Ingredients

2 eggs
1/3 cup grape molasses *
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 + ¼ cup olive oil
1/3 cup milk
1 medium carrot (grated)
1/3 cup walnuts (chopped coarsly)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 + ½ cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
Muesli to sprinkle on top


Method

1. Whisk eggs, then add grape molasses, sugar, and olive oil keep stirring until combines well.
2. Squeeze the grated carrot to reduce it's moist. Add carrot, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon.
3. Sift flour and baking powder together, then add flour mixture to the liquid mixture. Stir batter until combines smoothly.
4. Line 22cm/9inches round cake pan with parchment. Pour the mixture into the pan, and sprinkle top with your choise of muesli. (I used a crunchy muesli with almonds, raisins, and crunchy rolled oats) Bake in 180 C / 350 F until it gets golden brown.
5. Cool the cake in pan for 5 min.s then remove from the pan. Serve cool ~ goes well with dark roasted coffees, or Christmas tea ;)


PS. * I've added a link of the molasses which I used as Reeni of Cinnamon Spice&Everything Nice asked about it on her comment. 'Grape Molasses' means 'Uzum Pekmezi' in Turkish language. (pekmez is for molasses)

It looks great and easy to make. But I have never heard of grape molasses. I'm intrigued!

Reeni it is really easy to make. Let me tell you about the grape molasses/or molasses dear.

It's a kind of sauce/or liquid jam made by boiling grapes (or it can be made with mulberries or carob)


Here's a sample of the grape molasses brand which I used.

I guess you can find similar ones in Turkish or Middle Eastern food markets in your area or purchase from the link I give here. I've never shopped from the website above but I've heard of them on tv. The owner of the website is a Turkish (as I remember) and selling mostly Turkish products in the USA.

Let me know if you know it or will try it dear :)

Cheers!
