What a fun day! I had the pleasure of being invited to a friend's bridal shower out in Hamilton today - somewhere I had never been although I have lived in Toronto for over 4 years now! So off I went on a little mini adventure of my own, taking the bus and the train (with some quality book reading time to myself!!) and getting to spend the day with an old friend from England who also now lives in Canada - yey! I'm super excited that I will get to share in their wedding day in November, and was so happy to be able to join her today at her English tea party themed shower! What great friends she has :) Everything was decorated with red, white and blue, with streamers, bunting and Union Jack patterned plates her sister even shipped from England for the party! There were afternoon tea style sandwiches, scones and teacup cupcakes as well as lots of amazing tea cups and saucers for the tea of course. Everything was delicious - I'm stuffed!! For the party I asked if I could take something along, perhaps something English inspired. And they said yes! Yey! An excuse to bake wahoo :-D I knew the perfect item for the day - something I had baked just once before and included on my blog when I first started to write up posts before I made the blog live, and to be honest...it's a terrible post with terrible photos... so here goes take 2! Hope you don't mind the repeat - but honestly, check it out and make the comparison - I hope you think this one is better hehe! This Cherry Bakewell traybake definitely was the front runner while thinking about the best thing to bake. I knew my friend had mentioned Bakewell Tarts whilst once talking about English treats we miss! And I thought a traybake style would be a good one to cook, and then slice up each to eat in little pieces for party food. I also love how these little squares look, the pure white icing flooded over the top, and then of course a cherry on top - literally!! I got some really nice feedback from everyone - it was great to hear that they all liked the cakes - especially as they were something they hadn't tried before :) I know I also got a big thumbs up from Jonathan too - he got a few of the extras before I left for the shower ~ Breakfast Bakewells!! ... But it was nice to get the positive comments too from not my biased husband!!! So, if you're also unfamiliar with Cherry Bakewells here's the breakdown of what makes it SO SUPER delicious! First off, the bottom layer is a deliciously unhealthy sweet shortcrust pastry. The original recipe stated to use the ready-made ready-to-roll kind... However not only is this sweet shortcrust not really available like that anywhere I have seen in Toronto, but also, where's the fun in that?! I rarely get the chance to do much pastry cooking so it's fine by me to have the opportunity to do this. But if you're in a country - like England where you can buy this ready-made pastry easily, it certainly would cut the cooking time down. So bottom layer pastry, with a juicy layer of strawberry jam on top. Next up is the almond spongey cake - a frangipane topped with a thick layer of icing, and sprinkled with toasted flaked almonds and of course, that cherry on top! So it's a little of a Bakewell Tart (pastry, jam and frangipane topped with sliced almonds) and a little more of a Cherry Bakewell (my favourite is the Mr. Kipling brand!) which are baked in small tart shells and topped with the thick icing layer and a cherry on top. These are some we ate recently brought back from my July trip to England :) Mix those two delicious treats together and bake in a traybake and you have this Cherry Bakewell traybake that makes for a perfect sweet addition to any English tea party! Recipe time! I'll include the recipe for the pastry too if you want to try this out as well, let me know if you have any questions about any part of it :) Would be happy to spread the cherry bakewell love ♥ For the pastry... This made 565g of pastry dough which covered the traybake pan (33x23cm) and had some left over. Ingredients: 300g plain flour 150g unsalted butter, chilled and chopped. 90g caster sugar (for the first time I actually tried using the Lantic dissolving sugar as I often cannot find caster sugar here... it worked! I'll use it again for sure) 1 egg yolk 1.5 tablespoon chilled water Method: 1. Combine flour, butter and sugar in a bowl (or food processor) and rub between fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. I use my fingertips for the majority of this process, until the butter is soft and combined with the flour in the breadcrumbs, but then also use the pastry cutter just to make sure no lumps are left! 2. Add the yolk and chilled water and combine until the dough just comes together. 3. Turn the pastry onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Shape into a disc and wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. So 30 minutes to kill?!... Nope! Time to get to work on the cake part of the traybake....(and also to kindly ask your VERY KIND husband to run to the shop to get some seedless strawberry jam, because the one in your fridge you thought was correct ACTUALLY was raspberry ... booo!!) For the frangipane: Ingredients: 500g sweet shortcrust pastry 6 tbsp strawberry jam (I chose seedless as a personal preference for a smoother taste!) 200g unsalted butter 200g granulated sugar (I didn't want to risk the dissolving extra fine sugar here for this but if you have the real deal caster sugar go with that!) 4 eggs 100g ground almonds 100g self-raising flour 1 tsp pure almond extract 300g icing sugar (powdered sugar) 3 tbsp water 24 glacé cherries 25g toasted flaked almonds (2 minutes carefully watched in the toaster oven did it for me) Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F. 2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to fit the base of the traybake pan. (Mine is a Wilton 33 x 23cm) 3. Spread the jam over the pastry base. 4. Place the butter and caster sugar in a large bowl and beat in mixer (or with a hand whisk) until smooth and creamy. 5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding 1 tbsp ground almonds after each addition. 6. Add the flour, remaining ground almonds and almond extract and stir well. 7. Spoon the mixture over the jam, spreading to make an even layer. 8. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until well risen, firm and golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin. At this point, once the cake was cooled, I actually very carefully (and maybe too riskily) turned out the cake/pastry onto a chopping board as I didn't really want to be slicing the cake in the non-stick pan. If you're not as weird about that as I am do just leave it in there and pour the icing over and cut into it no problem! 9. When the cake is cooled make a start on the icing. Sieve the icing sugar into a large mixing bowl and add 3 tbsp water to make a fairly thick icing. 10. Spoon the icing on top, spreading evenly. 11. Decorate with glacé cherries and flaked almonds and leave to set. 12. Cut the tart into squares or rectangles, serve and enjoy :) Like seriously enjoy... the crunchy flaky bite through the pastry, the juicy fruity jam layer and the spongey almond flavour with the added sweetness on top. I'm about to enjoy one of the extras right now actually... YUM! Happy Bakewell-ing! And HUGE congratulations to the bride-to-be ♥ I'm a big fan of British girl marrying Canadian boy and can't wait to share your special day :)
Darlings- Alhamdulillah so much, my emak@your Uwan is 91 today- Terima Kasih tak terhingga kita ucapkan pada Allah Swt- Syukur. This morning i opened her bedroom's door, i woke her up- bathed her, I wiped her two eyes, dried her hair,after that i put wangi powder all over her body and face- and mama pakaikan her my baju:):) I waited for her to finish her Subuh prayer- after that i told her " Emak hari ni hari jadi emak yang ke 91- ampunkan dosa2 Azu"- langsung your mama sebak,she cannot speak anymore:(:( Your Uwan said " 91, sudah tua sangat emak ya, tak ada pun dosa kau,kalau ada emak ampunkan" After that i hugged her and we cannot speak anymore. Do you know that i Love my emak very very much,just the way i love you and you love me. Dia lah permulaan Mama dapat melihat bulan dan matahari- tiada yang susah baginya dalam membesarkan mama. Diberi Allah swt mama peluang ini- bersama nya masa kuat, bersamanya masa lemah. Dulu dia boleh menyapu di halaman rumah kita, kini matanya terlalu kabur- tidak banyak yang boleh dilihatnya- tapi dia terlalu baik- tidak pernah mengeluh- Mama tidak pernah rasa terkilan atau mendua hati,routine menjaga nya adalah adalah routine hidup kita- bagi mama,mama terpilih untuk menjaga nya- Dia lah Syurga mama, dia lah harta.Pagi2 hari biasa mau pun minggu bila membuka mata ,mama tidak boleh berlengah-lengah di atas tilam,sekilas mata terbuka berkejar ke bilik nya,melihatnya dia bernafas, kilas kiri dan kanan- hati pun senang. Kita sama2 menyanyangi dia ya Darlings:) Nowadays nothing much that i can buy for her as present- dia tak perlu lagi- dia hanya perlu kasih sayang- Yesterday we took her to Awana Genting for makan2- dulu2 kita selalu kesini Uwan masih boleh melihat,masih boleh berjalan celah2 batasan memetik strawberry- mestilah hati mama sangat sebak- tapi perlu bersyukur dia masih ada, mama masih dapat genggam tangannya. Kita makan macam2:) Awana is also very good they never charge Uwan:) Uwan suka cendol. After that we sent Uwan for Reflexology- she had a great time there- tukang urut pun suka pada dia. While waiting for Uwan we went to the driving range. And both of you pukul bola while wearing dresses:);) Mama has some moment for myself- me and my Colombo dress:) Tia said " mama give some style okay"- ha ha there you go:) This morning- after hugs and kisses- mama made Uwan few of her favourite dishes.- mama tak pandai buat apam old style macam Uwan- so mama buat apam beras pecah 4 ni:) Cucur bilis mama pun kegemarannya- tepung gandum dicampaur bawang putih dan merah di blend halus, sedikit oyster sauce, garam, baking powder,ikan bilis dan carrot yang di hiris halus. Gulai ikan tenggiri tomato,cili turki dan petai. Petang- mama bersilat buat 2 bijik cake- untuk Uwan dan Papa's Day. Sponge pandan for the lady and Coffee Sponge for Man of the House. Tadaaaa- as requested by both of you i made "Frozen' style ala comot2 cake:) Pastel blue with heart shape in the middle for papa and soft pink lacey for Uwan. And you two kena menghiburkan kita orang with a birthday tune. Alhamdulillah Uwan, Alahmdulillah Emak. Kata yang tukang makan sedap cake sponge pandan mama ni. As usual you and papa love the Coffee Sponge. We had early dinner at 6.30 meraikan Kak Ikin yang nak buat Umrah- mama just fixed simple lauk. Lauk kegemaran orang2 tua. Kak Ikin thank you for everything- may your umrah be blessed by Allah Swt- doakan kami. Sayang Kak Ikin. talking about the weather…so hot and humid now. Bunga pun susah nak keluar- kena menyiram selalu supaya tanaman tak mati. Dah sejuk petang2 baru dua orang ni boleh keluar. Selamat hari Sekolah Girls- I love you Uwan,Papa and All:) Salam:) …………...
