We have finally eaten all the Christmas biscuits and the cake tin was looking rather bare, so I had a flip through one of my recipe clipping folders and came across Mary's teatime cake, a recipe from the very talented and delightful MaryBerry and published in BBC Good Food magazine
Now all you budding MaryBerry’s are in luck as Lou is very kindly sharing her recipe for her Zesty Lemon Madiera Cake Dripping with White Chocolate and Summer Fruits here on the blog
Such as this Pear, Apple and Almond Cake, a twist on a MaryBerry favourite. Roughly spoon the remaining mixture over the fruit and sprinkle over the flaked almonds
For the fruit and caramel. If you hadn’t guessed by now, I’m quite a fan of cakes and baking. I think next time, I will stick to my normal tactic of scattering demerara sugar over the base of buttered tin before adding the slice fruit
- Stir in the sugar, pinch of salt, dried fruit and spice and mix in. To celebrate St David’s Day I made decided to try making something I never had before – Welsh cakes
I need to thank HRH MaryBerry for this recipe – It is one of my favourites of her, a Lemon Drizzle Cake but obviously amended to turn into an Orange Drizzle Cake
That and the fact it’s a MaryBerry recipe. All these colourful berries and fruits will soon be a thing of the past, and I’ll be curled up in a warm blanket in front of the fire with a steaming cup of hot chocolate and warm fluffy slippers
Basically, MaryBerry's technical challenge this week was a tennis cake. MaryBerry has annoyed me. Maybe Mary has shares in a baking parchment company and wants everyone to use and buy more
Kate and I are looking for any type of cake, BUT, a Celebration Cake would be WONDERFUL, and there will be a PRIZE for the BEST cake recipe and post submitted, the prize is a copy of MaryBerry’s Ultimate Cake Book
And the winner of the LOVELY book, MaryBerry’s Ultimate Cake Book, goes to………. Vanessa from Cakes and Teacups for her LOVELY Black Forest Gateau, as this was the FIRST time she has ever attempted anything like this, and she will really benefit from the Mary Bery book as a novice cake maker, plus, her Black Forest Gateau was GORGEOUS
This time from Tesco and by cook MaryBerry for Spiced Christmas Cupcakes. Flour, sugar, spices, mixed fruit, icing sugar, brandy, cupcake cases and of course, instructions
Adapted from recipes by MaryBerry, BBC Good Food and inspired by Little Box Brownie. The cake (without cream and fruit) will freeze for up to three months if wrapped in baking paper then cling film
MaryBerry’s Angel Food Cake by It’s Not Easy Being Greedy. While at work the other day I spied one of my colleagues clearing out the fruit section of the shop
MaryBerry once told me that 'life is too short to make your own marzipan'. I hate it when it's stuck between a thick layer of sugar-paste and a slab of boozy fruitcake - yak
