She has pestered incessantly for the last few weeks. Pottering through Mumma's books an image was found, an idea formed and the constant chatter about them began in an effort to wear down my sensibilities. It worked.
Even though all my knowledge of wholefoods and sugar was nudging me incredulously, I silenced them all with a, "Today...what's the harm?!"
With gay abandon we swam cubes of buttery sponge into a luscious pool of raspberry jelly and rolled them merrily amongst snowflakes. They will certainly not take out any food styling awards, nor did the globules of set jelly clinging to squashed cake do much for my appetite, but my girl adored it all.
Sponge cake recipe from Nigella Express; a food processor version that is seriously the easiest and best sponge cake I have ever wrapped my laughing gear around. Pink lamington "how to" from Meet Me At Mikes.

Fantastic. Sounds like you made her week!
ReplyDeleteI know a little girl in my house who would love to make these. She loves sponge cake and jelly. I think they are fabulous. xo
ReplyDeleteglobules of jelly and all ... they look delicious.x
ReplyDeleteThings taste better when they're pink!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about the wholefood and sugar part. I do my best to swap all flour for spelt and all sugar for rapadura. Maybe we could come up with a spelt buttercake and raspberry icing. Or cochineal. Hmmm. You've just given me an urge to make lamingtons.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I crack too with the "what's the harm". It doesn't happen very often and I think it's more appreciated because it's seen as an extra special, lucky treat.
Hope your week is lovely and may no more globules of jelly cross your path. x
I have to say I've never heard of these before, but they do look absolutely moreish - my kids would love these...and making a mess creating.

They look sweet and pink:)
ReplyDeleteI'm certain that B was in heaven.
I am going to look up that spunge recipe. I fail in the sponge making department.
What a lovely thing to do together. I think a healthy balance is fine. It's fun to be able to share a special treat...I can't wait for days in the kitchen with Saskia x (Love how little hands look so delicate and clumsy all at once)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and pink! Bet they taste really good too.
ReplyDeleteThese look great, I have never heard of them but they do look yummy and lots of fun to make too. x
ReplyDeleteI love that you threw caution to the wind and gave in to pink lamingtons, they look super delicious.
