Instructions

METHOD FOR CAKE

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees fan forced, and place rack into middle of oven
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper
  • Spread miso onto baking paper in an even layer 6mm (¼ inch) thick and bake until browned and burnt around the edges (about 12 to 15 minutes … it takes 15 minutes in my oven)
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly for 5 minutes, and whilst this is happening turn oven off and leave door open to allow it to cool a little quicker
  • After 5 minutes turn oven on to 160 degrees fan forced, and line a medium loaf tin (base measurement 22cm x 9cm) with baking paper
  • Melt your butter so that it is ready to use (I did this in the microwave)
  • Place both sugars, flour, baking powder and salt into TM bowl and mix 10 seconds / speed 4, put aside
  • Add baked miso, yoghurt and oil to TM bowl and blend 10 seconds/ speed 6
  • Scrape around bowl and add melted butter and eggs and blend 20 seconds / speed 4
  • Return dry ingredients to TM bowl and blend 10 seconds / speed 4, scrape around bowl and repeat 2 seconds / speed 4
  • Pour batter into loaf tin and level the top
  • Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, test with a skewer to see if it comes out clean, and if necessary bake another 5 minutes (it takes 1 hour and 15 minutes in my oven)
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool in tin for 45 minutes, then place on a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing
  • Serve with the sour whipped cream or thick Greek yoghurt if desired, but just as delicious plain

METHOD FOR WHIPPED SOUR CREAM

  • Whip ingredients together until soft peaks form (when whipping anything with cream I prefer to use my hand held electric mixer so that I can see what is happening, and when I wish to stop)
