  • Good morning :beer: I'll add this to the main cream thread later, but I have a specific baking query ;)

    I made individual trifles for a meal with friends yesterday evening. I have some whipped double cream left over, and thought I might do some baking, which I can serve with the cream.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might bake, please :confused: I can only think of scones :o

    TIA :A Penny. x

    I know it's not baking - but could you make butter (ie by shaking it in a jar?) - you could always bake with the butter then!

    How about a sponge cake with strawberry jam & cream filling & fresh strawberries & cream on the top?

    How about a sour cream cake? There are lots of recipes if you google. Sour the cream by adding a small amount of lemon juice. The one on the Shelter web site seems to freeze well if that helps.

    Ooh yes, my mum used to make a coffee and cream cake.

    Make a plain sponge cake (3 eggs, 6oz butter, 6 oz self-raising, 6 oz sugar and 1 and a half teaspoons baking powder).

    Make a cup of strong coffee, stab cake all over with a skewer and pour over the coffee. Cake should be squidgy.

    When completely cool spread the entire cake (top and sides) with whipped cream.

    Definitely a pudding type cake.

    I serve HM chocolate muffins warmed for a few second in the microwave and served with double cream. ;)

    I love clafoutis, especially with plums!

    Sainsbury's online have a recipe for cherry clafoutis flan, using sugar, eggs and double cream for the filling with optional ground almonds. (Can't seem to post a link direct to the recipe, sorry!)

    You could vary the fruit (and booze?) suggested depending on what you have in.
