6. Grease the turban cake maker well with butter.
7. Then pour the batter into the turban molds and close the appliance lid.

9. As soon as the cake is cooked, remove the turban cakes from the device and allow the cake to cool down before it is served.

Ingredients

180 grams butter
225 grams caster sugar
^3/_4 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
180 grams plain flour
75 grams ground almond
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons cocoa powder mixed with
3 tablespoons hot water to make a paste
100 grams dark chocolate chip
30 grams icing sugar, to dust

Method

1. Pre-heat the appliance. Thoroughly brush with melted butter.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the almond extract.
3. Mix together the baking powder, flour and ground almonds. Beat in one egg at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour mixture in between. Repeat until all three eggs have been added, then fold in the remaining flour mixture and stir in the milk.
4. Spoon half of the cake batter into a separate bowl and mix in the cocoa paste. Add the chocolate chips to the other half of the mixture. Add spoonfuls of each of the batters alternately and drag the handle of a teaspoon through the mixture to create a marbled effect.
5. Bake until the cakes have a nice goldenbrown colour and then test the cake to see if a skewer inserted into the deepest part comes out clean.
6. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Once cooled, dust the cake with a little icing sugar.

Ingredients

200g butter

3 tbsp cocoa powder

3 large ripe bananas

150ml full-fat milk, plus 1 tbsp for the icing

3 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

350g self-raising flour

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

350g soft light brown sugar

150g natural yogurt

100g dark chocolate chips or bar of chocolate, chopped into small chunks

80g salted peanuts, roughly chopped

100g dulce de leche caramel, from a can or jar

Method

1. Pre-heat the appliance. Grease appliance with some melted butter. Mix the cocoa with 50ml kettle-hot water and set aside to cool.

2. Mash the bananas, then stir in the butter, milk, eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the flour, bicarb, sugar and 1/2 tsp salt. Shake the bowl a few times to encourage any lumps of sugar to come to the surface, squeeze them through your fingers and mix again.

3. Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients, then transfer half the cake mixture to another bowl. Add the cocoa mix, 50g yogurt and the chocolate chips to one bowl, and the remaining 100g yogurt and 50g peanuts to the other.

4. Scrape the peanut mixture into the prepared tin, then spoon over the chocolate mixture. Swirl a skewer through the two cake mixtures to create a marbled effect. Bake and check if the cakes are cooked by inserting a skewer into the centre of the sponge – if it comes out coated in any wet mixture, bake it some more. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Mix the caramel with 1 tbsp milk to create a drizzly icing. Once the cake is cool, drizzle over the icing and scatter with the remaining peanuts.

Ingredients

225g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing

225g self-raising flour, plus 1 tbsp extra for the tin

250g dark muscovado sugar

4 large eggs, at room temperature, beaten

1 tsp baking powder

100g pack ground almonds

1 tsp mixed spice

1 tsp ground cinnamon, plus a pinch extra to decorate

250g grated butternut squash

250g mixed dried fruit

100g p ack walnut pieces, chopped, reserving a few whole to decorate

For the marzipan middle

flour, for dusting

200g marzipan

50g glacé cherries, roughly chopped, plus a few whole cherries to decorate zest 1 orange

For the frosting

140g full-fat cream cheese, chilled

175g icing sugar, sifted

50g unsalted butter, softened

2 tsp whole milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1. Lightly and evenly grease the appliance with soft butter, making sure you get well into any flutes or ridges. Sift 1 tbsp flour over the appliance, then tilt and turn the tin until the inside is completely covered with a very thin layer of flour. Tap to gather any excess at the bottom a few times as you go. Once the butter is coated, tap and tip out the excess flour. Pre-heat the appliance.

2. For the marzipan middle, dust the work surface with a little more flour, knead the marzipan briefly, then work in the cherries and orange zest. Roll into a sausage about 3cm thick, then press the ends together to make a ring.

3. To make the cake, put the butter, flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder, almonds, spices and 1/4 tsp salt in a large bowl. Use an electric whisk to mix until smooth, then fold in the squash, fruit and walnuts.
4. Spoon half the batter into the prepared tin, then press the ring of marzipan on top. Cover with the rest of the batter and smooth the top. Bake the cakes until the cakes are risen, golden and shrunk away from the sides when it's ready.
5. To make the frosting, beat together half the cream cheese with the icing sugar and butter until evenly blended. When smooth, beat in the remaining cream cheese along with the milk and vanilla to make a thick, but still flowing, frosting – it should have a consistency similar to semi-whipped cream.
6. When the cake is cold, spoon over the frosting, letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon, then chill for 10 mins to set the frosting a little. Decorate with whole cherries and walnuts. Keep in the fridge and eat within 5 days.
