Can you tell me how to make simple tea cake without an oven?

Answer 1

You can make cakes in a crock pot- if you really don't have an oven, a crock pot would come in very handy for all sorts of cooking. You can follow the directions for the below for any cake- just pour the batter in the coffee can and bake!


Pumpkin Tea Cake

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
PREPARATION:
In mixing bowl, combine oil with granulated and brown sugars; blend well. Stir in beaten eggs and pumpkin puree. Sift dry ingredients together; stir into pumpkin mixture then fold in chopped nuts. Pour batter into greased and floured 1 lb. 10 oz. coffee can (make sure it will fit in your crockpot with cover on) or use baking dish which holds batter and fits in your crockpot. Place can in crockpot. Cover top of can with 8 paper towels; place lid on crockpot. Bake on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours. Do not lift lid until the cake has cooked at least 2 hours.

Answer 2

Griddle Scones Makes 12



225 g (8 oz) Be-Ro Self Raising Flour
pinch salt
25 g (1 oz) lard
25 g (1 oz) caster sugar
1 medium egg, beaten with milk to make 150 ml (¼ pint) liquid






1 Mix flour and salt, rub in lard.
2 Stir in sugar and mix to a soft dough with the egg and milk.
3 Knead lightly, divide in three and roll each piece into a circle about 5 mm (¼ inch) in thickness. Cut into four.
4 Bake over a moderate heat on a greased griddle, for about 2 minutes on each side. Serve hot with butter if wished.
N.B A baking griddle should be well-greased, then heated until a little water sprinkled on the surface skips about in balls, evaporating. A frying pan makes a good substitute

Chinese Steamed Cake
INGREDIENTS
* 6 eggs
* 1 1/4 cups white sugar
* 2 1/2 tablespoons water
* 1 1/2 cups cake flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
* 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

DIRECTIONS
1. Arrange a large bamboo steamer or a large vegetable steamer over simmering water. Make sure it is large enough to hold the baking pan. Line a 9 inch square pan with waxed paper.
2. Separate the eggs. Place the yolks in a large bowl along with the sugar and water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture has increased about three times in volume. Whisk together the flour and the baking powder; sift this over the egg mixture, and fold in gently. Blend in the extract.
3. Whip the egg whites in a clean bowl to stiff, not dry, peaks. Fold into yolk base. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and smooth out to edges. Rap the pan on the counter to get rid of large air bubbles.
4. Place the pan into the steamer. Cover the top of the steamer with a kitchen towel, and place the lid on top; the towel will absorb any steam that collects on top from dripping onto the cake. Steam for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioner's sugar.
