Highlander Cheesecake 2 cups biscuit crumbs, 100g butter melted, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon gelatine, 250g cream cheese, 1 can Highlander condensed milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh or canned fruit and a glaze (recipe in following post). Combine the the biscuit crumbs and butter, mix thoroughly and press over the base and sides of a 23cm flan tin. Chill until the crust is firm. Place water in a shallow bowl and sprinkle gelatine over and stand for 5 minutes or until gelatine swells. Heat gently over hot water until the gelatine dissolves, cool. Beat cream cheese until soft, gradually add condensed milk then the gelatine and lemon juice. Pour into the crumb crust. Chill until set.
To serve, decorate with fruit. Glaze if desired.

Glaze for Highlander Cheesecake if desired... 1/2 cup canned fruit syrup or sweetened fruit juice, 2 teaspoons arrowroot and 1 tablespoon brandy.
Heat the fruit syrup in a small saucepan until boiling. Combine the arrowroot and brandy and stir into the syrup. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Spoon the glaze over the fruit. Allow to cool and serve.

BEST EVER ORANGE CAKE 185 grms butter softened, 3/4 cup Caster sugar,3 big eggs - beaten,2 cups plain flour,1 tablespoon Baking powder 1 teaspoon Grated orange rind*4-6 tablespoons fresh orange juice. SYRUP1 1/2 cups icing sugar,2/3 cup fresh orange juice,1 tablespoon of orange or other fruit liquer(triple sec is
good)1 teaspoon grated orange rind* * you should always grate citrus directly into bowl in which it is being used : if you grate onto a plate or board most of the flavoursome oils are left behind.
METHOD: Grease an 18 cm round tin or similar(if using baking paper remove after cooking)Cream butter and sugar until very light and fluffy indeed and then gradually add egg (to prevent curdling just add a little of your flour). Sift the flour and baking over the mixture and fold in gently Add the grated orange rind and enough jjuice to give a dropping consistency. Transfer to tin and bake at 180c for about an hour (sometimes a little less time) Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes in tin. continued

doree36 - 2008-03-24 13:40:00

continued SYRUP AND ICING:-
Sift the icing sugar and dissolve it in the juice and liquer, stir in the grated orange rind. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack (good hint use 2 racks put top down onto one place second rack on top and flip over!!)place a plate under the rack then using a knitting needle or skewer pierce holes right through cake THE CAKE MUST STILL BE QUITE HOT. spoon over the syrup. Retreive any that drips onto the plate and pour back onto the cake. When all is absorbed and the cake is quite COLD, WRAP IT IN CLING FILM AND THEN FOIL AND KEEP FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE CUTTING. thats if you can resist the temptation to eat it !! Soooooo good - Sliced thinly and served with fruit and whippd cream makes a rather special dessert.

Wonderful Fresh Plum Cake 150g butter
150g brownsugar
3 large eggs
75g plain flour
1½ tsp baking powder
100g ground almonds
50g shelled walnuts, chopped
16 plums, stoned and quartered
Set Oven at 180C. Line the base of a square 20cm cake tin.
Beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Halve plums, remove stones + cut each half in two.
Beat eggs lightly + add them bit by bit to the butter and sugar. Sift the flour + baking powder together and fold them gently into the mixture. Fold in ground almonds + walnuts.
Pour into cake tin. Place quartered plums on top. There is no point in doing this with any real precision as they will sink into the cake as they cook. Bake for 40-45 minutes, then test with a skewer. If it comes out clean, without any wet cake mixture sticking to it, then the cake is ready. Remove the cake from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for fifteen minutes before turning out.
