I feel like something fruity so have made an Orange Sponge cake.
After it's cooled I'll ice it using the juice of half an orange and some icing sugar. I'll then decorate with slivers of finely shredded peel.
I considered splitting the cake and spreading with chocolate butter cream but soon dropped the idea. I don't want exotic I want a fresh zingy tingling cake which is as light as a butterfly and as beautiful.
The other day I made chocolate mousse and served it in small glasses. It was and will always be the most gorgeous dessert. It is so unbelievably simple.
Melt 100gms of plain chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
Then when completely melted stir in 12.5 g butter.
Remove from heat add 4 egg yolks and blend thoroughly.
Meanwhile whisk till stiff the four egg whites using an electric whisk. Fold into the chocolate mixture until evenly mixed using a metal spoon. Wood won't do.
Divide this heavenly concoction between four glasses or dishes and leave in the fridge until required.
When ready to serve you could drop on some whipped cream and nuts or serve au naturel.
Gorgeous.
