There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Porridge Cake, gluten free - Testing


1 - It was fine, but not a fan of it. Not sweet enough, and it took much, much longer to cook, and it was so fragile that it broke when I tried to de-pan it. I could try it again, but it is at the  bottom of my list of priorities.

300 g leftover porridge - cooled
60 g butter - melted then cooled
80 ml honey
3 eggs - medium
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
200 g ground almonds
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
125 g blueberries 
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C /160°C fan assisted oven / gas mark 4.
  2. Line and grease a 6 inch round baking tin.
  3. Place the leftover porridge, melted butter, honey, eggs and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl or stand mixer and beat until combined.
  4. Whisk together the ground almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and beat to combine.
  6. Stir through the blueberries.
  7. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared baking tin and place in the centre of the oven. Bake for 1 hour.
  8. Remove from the oven and remove the cake from the tin to cool on a wire rack.
