Nope just pound cake-like. Not rubber.

Well, I tried it again with the same result. I wonder if five large eggs is too many for this small cake?

I used 1tsp spiced rum instead of rum extract. I might have over worked the butter & sugar. I got a phone call just before I started putting in the eggs. It lasted about 5 minutes while the mixer was on stir.

The cake came out really dense & kinda rubbery. Any idea what I did wrong?

Hey Katy! I tried the dried chick peas last night with complete success! They were YUMMY & PERFECT! I would suggest adding a little baking powder though. They were much more dense this way.

Don't worry CookingGoddess! I downloaded the app! I'm taking you people everywhere I go! I need to figure out how to upload pics etc... I faved a few forums too. I'm hooked!

I add red curry powder, smoked paprika, & garam marsala to the basic rub. Adds lots of depth.

Thank you Clive! I will give this a try. I hate wasting my fresh herbs...

This is the recipe I used with the same result. The first time was a total loss. The second time I dried the chick peas all day before making it & did a test run in the oil. It was going to be a failure too so I used an egg wash & bread crumbs to make a crust. This mostly worked. Next I'll give...

Just wanted to let everyone know that this was very good! Flavorful & fluffy. Perfect company for grilled lamb!

It would be crumbly not crunchy.

I think it is consistancy you have to watchout for. Too much liquid added will make the fondant sticky. Using a powdered flavor could make it dry & crumbly. Try just a little at a time & add more powdered sugar if it starts getting sticky?

YES!!! Potatoes Anna is it! Thank you!!! I'm grilling some lamb chops tonight & this sounds so much better than boiled potatoes & without being too rich. Some sauteed green beans & I'm done!

I think is was Rachel Allen; thanks Aunt Bea! But I still can't find the recipe... I will keep looking. Thanks everyone for your help!

Well I know the chef wasn't Ann Burrell. But I'll check the potato pave recipe. Thanks!
