My Coffee-date Bundt with hot-buttered pecan glaze❤️☕️

I created this recipe to combine my dad’s favourite coffee cake (my mum’s recipe) with his love for hot buttered pecans. I thought I’d also include some dates in the batter to maintain a moist crumb and because they are delicious 🤣👌🏼The results speak for themeselves.
Absolutely a must-make!
As always, tag me @deannas_table if you make it, I’d love to see!!

Here’s my recipe!
250g butter
1 and a half cups brown sugar
4 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 tablespoons instant coffee dissolved in 2 tablespoons of boiling water
2 cups self raising flour
1/2 cup custard powder
2/3 cup milk
1 cup dates, pitted, and chopped. Pour boiling water over them (just enough to cover them) and let hydrate for 10 mins before draining and using.

Glaze:
1 and a half tablespoons butter
2 and a half tablespoons brown sugar
1 and a half tablespoons cream
3 to 4 tablespoons of icing sugar
As many pecans as you like.

Firstly, heat your oven to 180c and prepare your Bundt tin (I brush with melted butter, lightly coat in flour and then set in the fridge for a few minutes)
Soak your dates in boiling water.

Cream butter and brown sugar in electric mixer until very creamy , add in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Now add in vanilla, coffee mixture, flour, custard powder, milk and beat until smooth.
Stir in dates by hand then pour into Bundt tin and bake for around 45mins depending on your oven. Check with skewer.
Turn out cake after 5 mins of being out of the oven.

When the cake is cool prepare the glaze.
Simply heat the butter and brown sugar while stirring until melted, add in cream and then turn off the heat after about a minute. Whisk in enough icing sugar to make a thick glaze, add in pecans and pour over cake!
Hope you love this cake as much as I do❤️

CROSTOLI ❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹

An old recipe with soo much heart and perfect to bring to Christmas events!😊❤️🎄

What you'll need:
300g of plain flour (a little more if your eggs are on the larger side)
2 eggs
An espresso cup full of limoncello
30g lard (could use butter instead)
40g caster sugar
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
Sunflower oil to fry in
Icing sugar to dust generously

Tip flour onto bench, make a well in the centre and tip in eggs, limoncello, lard , caster sugar, salt and baking powder.
With a fork start to whisk all the ingredients together in the centre, once they are combined begin incorporating the flour from the outside well until a dough forms.
Need for a few minutes on bench and then wrap in clingfilm to rest for 20mins.
Set up your pasta machine.
Divide dough into portions and roll out just like you would pasta sheets.
I took it down to the third last setting but you can make them even thinner if you like!
Cut rectangles with a pizza cutter and then make a slit in the centre of the rectangle. Pass one end through the middle and pull to form the classic crostoli shape.
Fry these in the hot oil once it comes up to temp.
Once golden, remove from oil or deep fryer and place onto kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
Dust generously with sifted icing sugar and serve! (I love to add a little cinnamon to the icing sugar)
Enjoy Amici!! ☺️❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹❤️
If you make them please tag me!!
With love,
Deanna xxx
☺️🇮🇹❤️❤️❤️

These delicious biscotti are traditionally made in November in Italy and are such a beautiful tradition.

5 minute banana/caramel breakfast muffins! 🥰🙌🏼
I whipped these up today just using what needed to be used in my pantry and they turned out delicious so thought I’d share my recipe. These take 5 minutes to mix and are refined sugar free! Just be sure to use extra ripe bananas.

What you’ll need:
2 large or 3 smaller bananas
1/3 cup lightly flavoured oil
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk of choice (I used almond)
1 and 3/4 cup plain flour
1/3 cup traditional rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pana organic caramel spread

Preheat oven to 180c and line a muffin tin with muffin cases.
Mash the banana in a large bowl and then mix in all other wet ingredients except for the caramel spread.
Now add it all the dry ingredients and mix. Pour into muffin cases and then top each with about a teaspoon of caramel spread and swirl on top a little with the back of a teaspoon. Bake for around 15-20 minutes or until they are golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Let cool and enjoy!
Tag me if you make them!!

My Caramel Slice Recipe!
I know many of you asked for this one so here it is in time for the weekend! 😊🍫❤️

What you’ll need:
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup brown sugar
125g butter, melted

1/3 cup golden syrup
125g butter, chopped
800g (usually 2 tins) condensed milk
1 block chocolate of choice
1 teaspoon neutral oil (anything with very little flavour)

Preheat the oven to 180c and line a slice tin with a singular piece of baking paper (with and overlap on each side so you can pull the slice out with ease)
Place the flour, coconut, sugar and melted butter in a bowl and mix well then press evenly into the base of the tin.
Bake for 15-20 mins until golden.

Now make the caramel filling by constantly stirring together the butter, condensed milk and the golden syrup about 10 mins.
Pour over base and return to oven to cook for about 20mins or until very golden all over. Allow to cool.
Now melt your block of chocolate (dark or milk) and then stir in a teaspoon of a neutral flavoured oil to thin it out a little.
Immediately pour it over the cooled caramel and let sit in the fridge for a few hours until set.
Cut and enjoy!
Tag me if you make it!
Deanna xx

P.S: I used some Caramilk chocolate to decorate mine but it’s completely optional!!
