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!
Favourite Christmas Fruit Cake
This recipe makes 1 large 24cm square cake. My mother shared this recipe for a rich, moist fruit cake that is perfect for Christmas. She has handed it on to me from her mother and I’d like to think it continues to be cooked in the future generations of our family. It will keep for several months in an air-tight container, as long as there is not too much humidity.
