SEASONAL BAKING
Spring has sprung, so give your kitchen a fresh update with the seasonal aroma of all the fresh spring produce available. Berries are my favourite fruits.
They add bursts of juicy flavour to sweet treats and savoury salads, so pick up some punnets and use them in your kitchen.
I have created a tasty new dessert of my favourite blueberries, mascarpone with a strawberry flower and strawberry jam topping that are perfect for dessert or afternoon tea.
This cake does not have butter or oil in it. Only eggs, blueberries, mascarpone, plain flour, baking powder, lemon zest, sugar, salt, orange juice and icing sugar (OPT) . It’s moist, juicy flavour, and delicious with a cup of coffee. Let’s bake!!!!!
Ingredients
250 g blueberries
250 g mascarpone
290 g plain flour, sifted
180 g sugar
1 1/4 Tsp baking powder, sifted together with flour
120 ml orange juice
4 eggs
1 lemon zest
pinch of salt
1 strawberry, cut into flower shape, decoration

Preheat oven 180 degrees C. Grease and flour 23 cm spring form pan. Beat eggs, sugar, zest, and salt until light frosty about 7 minutes. Then add mascarpone and continued beating till smooth. Add flour and baking powder in batches about 5. Mix well.
