As I was making the sponge I got an email from my friend Kerry (mentioned last night) asking how the sponge was going, so I was giving her a blow by blow as it was being made and cooking. I am delighted to say that the said sponges were rising beautifully and had a lovely light tan and they came away from the tins smoothly.
I spread some passionfruit curd (barkers) on the first sponge, then a thin layer of cream, then the next sponge and some more curd and cream.
Dinner time came and it was demolished with speed and the birthday boy gave the nod of approval. Mission accomplished.
Nicely done sounds awesome. Love the blog and glad to hear it worked!
ReplyDeleteWhat is my child doing blogging at 1.04am??
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo...the bar has certainly been raised and I have tried last two cakes in quick succession...synopsis...looks like store bought but tastes like home made...scrumptious and outstanding effort. Well done C
It's hard work living in the home of a cake baker blogger extraordinaire. I can't decide which one I like best so far. The raspberry almond and marble are up there.
ReplyDeleteI like that you're trying out recipes with tricky methods such as the 'floor drop' sponge.
