Dad's 3-egg Sponge
A good sponge, is the epitome of sweet lightness.
My Dad trialled many, many sponge recipes, but decided on this one to produce the lightest sponge.
Recently, I had a source of fresh duck eggs and when you use duck eggs you get a magnificently white sponge - it takes sponge making to a whole new level!
Dulce de Leche
The classic Argentinian sweet, caramelised milk. While it's really easy to make - it does take an hour of stirring - so you really need to be focussed & patient!
It's a bit like making caramel condensed milk at home!
Lemon Yoghurt Cake
A moist, lemony cake, which is a beautiful tea cake, served with a dollop of tart yoghurt! This cake would also make a beautiful dessert served slightly warm, with a cold raspberry coulis.
Mrs Cook's Fruit Loaf
Nothing reminds me more of a delightful morning tea than fruit loaf. In a previous decade, I would have smothered this delight in softened butter, but these days, I am more interested in the mix of spice and sultanas.
