Pear and Raspberry Bread

"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us". (Alexander Graham Bell)

So true!

Ingredients:

825 g can pear halves (or 3-4 peeled, cored pears, cooked in 1 cup water and 1 tbs sugar)
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 cups SR flour
1/2 tsp soda bb
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Method:
Preheat oven to 180*C; prepare a loaf pan, line with baking paper.
Chop half of pears, and puree the other half. Place pureed pears in a measure cup, top up with juice (to make up exact 1 cup of 'fluid').
Place all dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix well then add egg, oil and other ingredients. Fold gently, until just combined. Transfer to pan and bake for 55-60 minutes. Cool bread slightly in pan, before taking it out.
Freezable!

1/2 solje secera
1 jaje, umuceno

1 solja svjezih ili smrznutih malina
2 K dzema od malina (opciono)

Nacin:
Mutite jaje, secer i mlijeko dok se secer ne otopi. Dodajte vrhnje pa nastavite mutiti. Umijesajte maline i dzem i stavite u zamrzivac. Vadite svakih 30-ak minuta i promijesajte, kako se ne bi preveliki kristali pravili. Uzivajte nakon nekoliko sati.

Raspberry Hazelnut Cake

My favorite nuts are hazelnuts. They go well with so many ingredients, in this case with raspberries. I made this cake for a house warming party. Everyone was delighted by the taste.

Ingredients:
6 eggs
2 cups caster sugar
250 g butter, melted
2/3 cup sour cream, warmed
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup SR flour
1 cup hazelnuts, roasted and processed into meal
300 g raspberries, fresh or frozen
Icing-
250 g cream cheese
2/3 cup icing sugar
2/3 cup milk powder
Method:
Preheat oven to 180*C (160* fan forced). Prepare 22 cm cake tin.
Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, add melted butter and sour cream. Mix well, then sift flours on top of mixture, add hazelnut meal; fold in slowly by hand (spatula). Finally add raspberries and pour into tin. Bake for 1 hour (or more) or until inserted toothpick doesn't come out clean.
For icing - put all ingredients into a bowl (cream cheese should be soft -room temperature), mix on a high speed until soft and fluffy. Spread cake with icing, and decorate with raspberries if desired.
