KING OF CAKES PAUL HOLLYWOOD LAUNCHES CHARITY JUBILEE CAKE


31 May 2012

With the Diamond Jubilee imminent, a national group of country pubs has
launched a cake to celebrate Her Majesty’s milestone – with the help of
celeb baker Paul Hollywood.

Chefs for Vintage Inns have created the Vintage Summer Cake, a triple-decker
sponge cake with raspberries and blackcurrants, summer fruit syrup, cream
and blueberry fruit, to celebrate Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee.

The patriotic puddings will feature exclusively on the Vintage Inns menu
until the end of August and for every £3.95 slice Vintage Inns will donate
15p to Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Paul, a judge on smash hit BBC TV show The Great British Bake-off, helped
Vintage Inns launch the cake. He said: “As a nation of food lovers, we
always rise to the challenge of producing something delicious for a
momentous occasion.

“The Victoria Sponge was created in honour of Queen Victoria’s reign so it’s
only right we commemorate Elizabeth II with something special and
traditionally British.”

Vintage Inn pubs and restaurants are known for their welcoming atmosphere,
quality food, attractive beer gardens and real ales and are often set in
stunning locations, in picturesque villages or rolling countryside.

The Mitchells & Butlers brand has almost 200 pubs, from Plymouth in the
South West to Inverness in Scotland.

A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
