Method

Cake

  • Preheat oven to 160°C fan forced. Grease and line a (25cm x 30cm) lamington pan with baking paper
  • Sift flour and baking powder together; set aside
  • Assemble mixer with the scraper beater and the large mixer bowl. Add butter and sugar to bowl. Slowly turn mixer to CREAM/BEAT for 3-4 minutes or until pale and creamy
  • Combine cream, eggs and vanilla in a jug. Reduce speed and add half the liquid mixture, then half the flour mixture then repeat with the liquid and flour. Don't over mix. Spread mixture into prepared pan
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack lined with baking paper. Leave turned upside down

Lemon Curd

  • Beat the egg, egg yolk and strain into a heat proof bowl. Whisk through sugar, lemon rind and juice and butter
  • Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir the mixture over simmering water for about 15-20 minutes, or until curd has thickened
  • Transfer to another bowl, cover with plastic wrap with a small side of the bowl uncovered to allow steam to escape and refrigerate until cold

Swiss Meringue

  • When ready to assemble the cakes make the meringue
  • Place egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar into the mixer bowl. Place bowl carefully into a saucepan of simmering water and gently whisk for 3-4 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has warmed through.
  • Assemble The Bakery Chef™Hub with the scraper whisk onto the mixer. Whisk on the AERATE/WHIP for about 2 minutes or until mixture has thickened but not too stiff
  • To assemble, use a 5.5cm round cutter and cut 16 rounds from the cake
  • Spread 1-2 teaspoons of lemon curd onto half of the rounds. With the remaining rounds pipe or shape with a spoon, approximately 2 tablespoons of meringue onto each. Place meringue rounds on top of lemon curd
  • Using a chef's blow torch, lightly colour outside of meringue. Serve

Tips & Hints:

  • Chefs blow torches can be purchased from good kitchenware stores.
