Blueberry Meringue Cake


Hello everyone,

Today's recipe is a beautiful blueberry meringue cake. This cake is one that can be passed off as a dessert and a tea time snack and though it looks complicated it actually takes no time at all!



For this recipe you will need: 

1 punnet of blueberries
2 eggs
250g sugar 
125g butter 
75g self raising flour
100 ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder 
1 tub of double cream

Method: 
(Preheat oven to gas mark 4)

Begin by separating your sugar into two 125g portions. Cream together your butter and one portion of your sugar with an electric mixer. 


Next separate your eggs, adding the yolk to your cake mixture and keeping the whites in a clean bowl for later. 


Then slowly add the flour, followed by the vanilla, baking powder and milk to loosen the batter. Once you have a creamy cake batter, pour it into a lined sheet cake tray. Next, whisk together your egg whites to stiff peaks and fold in the second portion of your sugar to make your meringue, put this on top of your cake batter and bake for 25 minutes. Be sure to use a butter knife or wooden skewer to check if the cake is ready!

Whilst the cake is baking whip your double cream till it form soft peaks. 


Once your cake is out of the oven, allow it to cool and then cut it in half down the middle. Spread the whipped cream over one half and add the blueberries, then place the second half over the top. Finish the cake with more cream and blueberries. 

Enjoy!

    Maliha, I came across looking for an easy recipe to bake with blueberries, as I'm an amateur baker. I guess my search stops here. Thanks for making it sound so easy.

Karahi Gosht (Indian Meat Curry)

Hello there! My name is Maliha, and I'm what you would call a typical foodie. Not only do I love going out to eat but I love cooking food myself belonging to a variety of cuisines. I enjoy taking traditional recipes and breaking them down to make them easy, simple, and most importantly- quick! The first recipe I'd like to share is my absolute favourite Indian take-away curry made easy- a Karahi Gosht. A Karahi Gosht is a very rich meat curry, packed with a deep depth of flavour which one can only imagine takes ages and ages. However, I've managed to condense the recipe down whilst packing just as much punch! To start off, chop one onion into slices, place it in a pan with a glug of oil, and some ginger and garlic puree.  Once the onions are slightly transparent, add the meat; I used pre-boiled and frozen mutton.  As my meat was frozen in its own stock, I did not need to add any water. However, if your meat is raw then add one cup of w...

Potato Gnocchi

Welcome back!  Today I'd like to share my favourite homemade pasta recipe for gnocchi. Gnocchi are small, fluffy pillows of potatoey pasta goodness that melt perfectly in your mouth with every bite. However, in the kitchen gnocchi brings nothing but disaster for many. I've managed to simplify the recipe so that you too can replicate restaurant quality gnocchi with ease.   For this recipe you will need : 4 tbsp oil  4 large potatoes 1 can of chopped tomatoes 1 medium sized onion 1 celery stick 1 small carrot 2 garlic cloves  1 tbsp lemon juice  Boiled pulled lamb (optional)  1 egg yolk 100g plain flour  1 packet (80g) of parmigiano reggiano 2 tbsp Italian ricotta cheese 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar   1 tbsp of mixed herbs Salt and pepper to taste  Serves 6  Tomato sauce:  First begin by chopping up your onion, garlic cloves, carrot and celery.  Place all the veg in a saucepan, along with the oil, garlic and mixed herbs.  Allow t...

Udon Noodle Soup

As a lover of Japanese food, I am always eager to learn how to prepare traditional recipes at home. What I love about this Udon Noodle Soup is just how adaptable it is. The chicken broth can be replaced with vegetable or beef broth and cod can be replaced with prawns, chicken, meat or tofu! You can also add or replace any of the vegetable components to suit you or whatever is in the fridge.  This recipe, however, is by far my favourite combination. The melt-in-the-mouth cod and rich broth create a warming sensation on your taste buds. Whilst the spinach and broccolini add a welcome freshness to liven up the broth and balance the flavours. It is the perfect meal for any day.  Ingredients (serves 2)  For the broth: ·       1 packet of pre boiled udon noodles ·       400 ml chicken/vegetable broth ·       1 medium onion ·       100g spinach...
