Raspberry and strawberry pavlova roll




At a query about what to do with egg whites? Well you’ve come to the right blog! I am the egg white doer-upper! For years, I would throw out egg whites when a recipe called only for yolks. But wait, here’s what you can do, you can freeze them for later use. Tell family members “in the freezer there’s a glass, do not touch it !” (You can skip this step if it does not apply to you.) And every time you have an egg white just add to the glass and freeze. You can use a jam jar or glass and just cover it, add a post-it to remember how many egg whites you’ve added. When you’re ready to defrost, leave on the kitchen counter at least 5-7 hours. Once at room temperature you can whip them up nicely like I did here for a pavlova roll.

Vous vous posez la question quoi faire avec les blancs d'œufs? Eh bien, vous êtes au bon blog! Je suis Madame la magicienne du blanc d'oeuf! Pendant des années, je jetais des blancs d'œufs lorsqu'une recette ne demandait que des jaunes. Mais attendez, voici ce que vous pouvez désormais faire, vous pouvez les congeler pour une utilisation ultérieure. Dites aux membres de la famille "dans le congélateur, il y a un verre, ne le touchez pas!" (Vous pouvez ignorer cette étape si elle ne s'applique pas à vous.) Et chaque fois que vous avez un blanc d'oeuf, ajoutez-le au verre et congelez-le. Vous pouvez utiliser un pot de confiture ou un verre et simplement le couvrir, ajouter un post-it pour vous rappeler du nombre de blancs d'œufs que vous avez ajoutés. Lorsque vous êtes prêt à décongeler, laissez sur le comptoir de la cuisine au moins 5-7 heures pour décongeler. Mais une fois à température ambiante, vous pouvez les faire monter comme je l'ai fait ici pour un rouleau de pavlova. 


Here’s what you’ll need for the batter :
4-5 egg whites (defrosted or freshly separated)
150 g caster sugar (1 cup)
1 teaspoon vinegar (or lemon juice)
2 teaspoons cornflour
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream filling and topping
120 cl cream, whipped up
120 g mascarpone or cream cheese
3 tablespoons confectioners sugar

Jam filling
20 strawberries or other berries
1/2 cup sugar
Simmer for 20 min

Heat up oven 160 C (320 F). Whip up egg whites with a beater until they form stiff peaks. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar at a time. Add other ingredients.


Oil rectangular pan and add parchment paper. Spread batter evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Depending on your oven, 160 C for 10 min and 5 min 140 C, or air oven.


Allow to cool. Spread a clean tea towel on the counter, put a layer of parchment paper on top and dust  with confectioners sugar. Lay cake gently  on this spread, top part down.  Peel off parchment paper off the bottom of cake.

Spread cream, then berries or homemade or raspberry or strawberry or rhubarb jam, or even lemon curd. Roll starting from width side, not length. Keep rolled in new parchment roll. Keep wrapped with tea towel. Cool in fridge overnight or a few hours.

Decorate with more cream and berries.

Huiler le moule rectangulaire et ajouter du papier sulfurisé. Étalez la pâte uniformément. Cuire au four de 12 à 15 minutes. Selon votre four, 160 C pendant 10 min et 5 min 140 C, ou four à air. Laisser refroidir. Étalez un torchon propre sur le comptoir, posez une couche de papier sulfurisé sur le dessus et saupoudrez de sucre en poudre. Déposer doucement le gâteau sur cette tartinade, partie supérieure vers le bas. Retirez le papier parchemin du fond du gâteau. Tartiner la crème, puis les baies ou la confiture maison ou framboise ou fraise ou rhubarbe, ou encore le lait caillé de citron. Rouleau à partir du côté de la largeur, pas de la longueur. Gardez roulé dans un nouveau rouleau de parchemin. Gardez enveloppé avec un torchon. Laisser refroidir au réfrigérateur pendant la nuit ou quelques heures.

Victoria Sponge cake revisited (gluten-free)

Here's a version of a Victoria sponge cake that kind of evolved on its own. This is a fairly straightforward layer cake. It involves 2 cake disks, buttercream and strawberry jam, decorated thereafter with some powdered sugar, or more cream and strawberries. I did, however, take liberties... Well, first of all, I didn't have any jam but I did have strawberries so made a quick jam by simmering about a dozen diced strawberries, a couple tablespoons of sugar and a star anise which I love adding lately to all jams (try it with fig jam, awesome combination).  But I digress... use some jam if you have some at home!  I also swirled one of the disks with raspberry reduction, mixed with a bit of the batter to add some color.  (Also, no need to do this except for a bit of fun or if you're always experimenting like me). Here's the rest of the recipe made with 2 eggs, a sign of the times : Batter: 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine 1 cup of sugar 2 eggs 1/2 cup of milk or juice...

Checkerboard cake

This was actually another accidental cake!  I had been wanting to make one of these checkerboard cakes for a while, and one day, I realized I had all the ingredients ready to go in my freezer, so in essence it went pretty quickly.  I often make cake disks and use them for cakes I'm making, and freeze extra disks for later use. So I had 2 chocolate cake disks and 2 vanilla cake disks in the freezer.  All that was needed was the cream and that went pretty easily since I also had some chocolate mousse frosting I had made previously. This was my first attempt, and although it was far from perfect (leaning to one side, lol), it turned out much better and easier than I expected. For tips, I would say 1) have some good cake cutters (I used glass cups and it's not ideal) 2) spread the frosting fairly thinly in between the layers in order to see the checkboard pattern 3) if you freeze cake disks or frosting ahead of time, it is a time saver, in a delulu kind of way 4) the wow fact...

Clafoutis with cherries

Clafoutis is one of my favorite French words because it can make me feel like I’m cursing or insulting someone, "You club-foot-id i o t. » Ok, only me ?! Never mind... It’s also the most delicious flan, so that’s double the fun, and the best part is it's quite easy to make. I often make different kinds depending on the fruits of the season and here you have pictures of an all cherry version, because our tree was so abundant with cherries just ready to harvest. Here's the recipe : 3 eggs 1/2 cup sugar (100 g) 3/4 cup flour (110 g) 1 cup milk (250 ml) 1 teaspoon vanilla or half teaspoon vanilla bean 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons melted butter 1/2 pound of cherries (300 g) Preheat oven to 350° F / 180° C.  Butter a deep dish, pan or ramekin. In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until you get a smooth batter. Add milk, flour, vanilla, salt, melted butter. Place the cherries (remove stems, but no need to remove pits) in the pan or ramekin. Pour the batter over the cherries. Bak...
