Lottie is a good friend and a guest cook on our blog. You’ll see many more posts from her hopefully. Unlike us who just eat, she MAKES!
“Inspired by my online mentor in all things pastry ‘Not Quite Nigella’. Forget the proper translation (a very literal ‘three milk pastry’), just think HEAVEN!….particularly if your sweet tooth is as long as my husband’s. Soaked in three different milks (all of the very sweet variety!). Coated with vanilla cream. Then topped with pomegranate seeds….what a great Sunday afternoon.”
Whipping the cream… ummmm I never think you can have too much
Soaking one half of the cake with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, double cream and rum. Calories? No!
Sandwiching both soaked sides of cake together with vanilla whipped cream inbetween. Rich, luscious and very naughty.
Cutting cake with dessert moulds. Well presentation means everything.
Creaming the cake with lots and lots of cream
Decisions, decisions… which one looks more tempting?
