Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Maple Fruit Glaze

Preheat oven to 180℃.

Add the Sunbeam Mixed Fruit and cover with maple syrup. Allow to sit to soak while making the cake.

Prep your bundt tin by rubbing all over with coconut oil and dusting with a little caster sugar to get into all the crevices.

In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, soda, salt and spices. Mix together to combine.

In a stand mixer, add the butter and coconut sugar. Cream together. Add in the eggs and coconut treacle, then mix until smooth. Add in the milk and mix again until combined.

Add in the dry mix ¼ cup at a time, until you form a smooth batter.

Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt tin, then bake for 40-45 minutes until cooked through (piece the middle with a skewer, and if it comes out clean it’s done!). Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes and carefully flip and allow the cake to pop out.

To make the icing: beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and milk and beat until desired consistency is reached. The icing should be thin enough that it can run down the cake. Add a little more milk as needed to reach this consistency. Add the salt, cinnamon and vanilla. Blend until well combined.

Frost the Gingerbread Bundt Cake and spoon over the Fruit Glaze and toasted walnuts.

Macadamia and Cacao Balls

Blend or process dates until smooth
Combine macadamia meal, cacao and dates in a bowl.

Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread out almonds on top of it. Bake for 8 minutes or until light golden in colour. Remove from tray and cool.

Lightly grease a patty pan tray.

Combine ingredients together in a bowl. Place spoonfuls into tray and shape into a nest using the back of a spoon. Refrigerate until set. Decorate with Easter eggs.

Cauliflower & Currants Salad

2. Place cauliflower onto prepared tray; drizzle over olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until just tender and golden.

Cinnamon Scrolls

Transfer warm milk to the bowl of an electric mixer and sprinkle yeast on top. Add in sugar, egg, egg yolk and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Stir in flour, salt, currants and sultanas until a dough begins to form.

Place dough hook on stand mixer and knead dough on medium speed for 8 minutes. Dough should form into a nice ball.

After dough has doubled in size, transfer dough to a well-floured surface and roll out into a 35x22cm rectangle. Spread softened butter over dough.

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Use your hands to sprinkle mixture over the buttered dough followed by the currants, then press into the butter.

Tightly roll dough up, starting from the shorter side and place seam-side down making sure to seal the edges of the dough as best you can.

Cut into 1 inch sections with a serrated knife. You should get 9 large pieces.

Place cinnamon scrolls in a greased 23x23cm baking pan or round 23cm cake pan. Cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel and let rise again for 30-45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Remove clingwrap and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just slightly golden brown on the edges. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before frosting.
