Lemon and Blueberry Victoria Sponge 1.jpg

Blueberry and Lemon Victoria Sponge

Edd Kimber July 16, 2015

Whenever someone asks me what to bake if they've never really baked anything before I always suggest a Victoria Sponge, it is very simple (especially if using the all-in-one method) and it teaches you a lot about baking as it uses some very basic baking techniques. However, just because you are making a classic recipe, doesn't mean you have to keep the flavours classic. This version of the recipe that I have written as part of my collaboration with Stork, uses Blueberry and Lemon to add a little twist, check out the full recipe here.

This weeks bonus recipe, for subscribers to my newsletter, is this gorgeous sour cherry and coconut gateau basque. The crust is a buttery cross between pastry and cake, think a cakey cookie. The filling is a layer of sour cherry topped with a rich coconut custard. A real fun one to make too! Link to my newsletter can be found in my bio - #gateaubasque #pastrycream #coconut #sourcherry

In this months @olivemagazine (out today) the team came and photographed my petit kitchen and we talked about how we put our stamp on the place, without spending a fortune. We hated the bland kitchen that we inherited but, as it was relatively new and in good condition, it felt a waste to rip it out and we also didn’t want to spend the money it would take to rip out the whole thing and replace it (it’s a howdens shell so we could have done something cheaper like @plykeakitchens @holte.studio @madebyhusk) so instead I painted all of the cabinets, using @makeitrustoleum kitchen cabinet paint, to give it some personality and lighten the whole thing. Check out the magazine for the full run down. - #kitchendesign #kitchenremodel #rustoleumcabinettransformations #rustoleumkitchencupboardpaint #kitcheninspiration #theboywhobakes #olivemagazine
Are you making scones all wrong? Maybe, maybe not? But I do want to show you how I make them! This recipe is based on the method I learnt at @belmondlemanoir 12 years ago when I did a stage, and it makes the absolute lightest scones. And shock horror, it involves kneading the dough, albeit very lightly. You can get the full recipe in this weeks newsletter (free) linked in my bio. - #scones #bakingday #worldbakingday #afternoontea #hightea #englishscones #clottedcream #creamtea #theboywhobakes
