Method Jams


You will need: 
3 Eggs
7 oz Butter
7oz Sugar
7oz Self raising flour
Dash of milk 
Pot of Double cream
Strawberry Jam

Method:

These are just a simple victoria sponge recipe but made into mini cakes, I don't know why but I love a miniature version of something. So pretty simple to make... Simply beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until creamy. Crack the eggs and beat into the mixture stirring slowly. You can then add the dash of milk and sieve the flour into the bowl and once all mixed spoon into mini cupcake cases and cook on 160C for 25 minutes. 

Once the cakes are cooled you can take them out of their paper cases and cut the tops off slightly to they are flat topped just so they sandwich nicely together. Whip the cream and pop in the middle of two of the mini sponges with a spoonful of jam and voila you be like oh shit thats the Jam! 

Also I have been rinsing this tune lately and its the perfect bake off soundtrack

Lisa Left Pie Lopes


You will need: 
300G Digestive Biscuits
120g Butter
2 Bananas
1 375ml tin of condensed milk caramel
Double Cream
Galaxy 

Method:

This one is super easy and quick and as I was going for dinner round my fellow hustla Lizzie Browns house I though I had best squeeze in a break from drawing to whip up a treat. I did technically cheat slightly as brought the Condensed milk in Caramel format because I knew I wouldn't have time to boil it off. 

Simply crush the Digestive biscuits until they are crumbs, a pretty good stress released I've found!! Heat the butter until melted and then pour this is into the crumbs and mix together, once all the crumbs have combined with the butter you can spoon into a 20x20cm round tin. Chill for 15 minutes.

Now you can spread the caramel over the base, making sure you create a nice thick layer, its not about a dry Banoffee pie. Then slice the banana and create another layer. Whip up the double cream until it is stiff and smooth over the top. Grate some Galaxy or chocolate of your choice over the top and voila the Lisa Left Pie Lopes is complete!! No joke I reckon this take about 40 minutes and is the perfect summer dessert, of course if you want to make your own caramel it will take longer but some of us are full time playas with jam packed agendas.

There are toooo many tunes to choose from for this bake off but gonna roll with this classic...
