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.

Fried Liver Served on a Toasted Baguette

Hello! Liver is an extremely underrated cut of meat, many aren't accustomed to it or haven't even tried it at all. However, liver is such a succulent and time saving and cheap cut of meat that I guarantee tastes fantastic. So as they say- don't knock it 'til you try it! For this recipe you will need:  1/2kg liver (I used lamb, but you can use any liver of your choice).  1 onion sliced finely 1/2tsp cumin powder 1/2tsp coriander powder 1 bell pepper  1/2tsp pepper 4tbsp oil Salt to taste Method:  Begin by chopping up your onion into fine slices.  Fry the onions until they are transparent, then add the spices and salt, followed by the liver.  Once the liver has started to brown add the bell peppers, and continue to fry.  Finally, add the pepper and allow it to fry for another 5 minutes.

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...
