3 d. ago Benjamina Ebuehi’s recipe for lemon, pistachio and white chocolate cake | The sweet spot

This lemon cake will whack up the wow factor, while the filling and topping are a lot less fiddly and involved than they at first appearWhen I’m entertaining, I like a dessert that’s going to bring the wow factor, can be partially made ahead and isn’t too faffy. This nutty citrus cake ticks all of those boxes; it’s also baked in one tin and then cut into strips for layering. I use shop-bought lemon curd to save on time and, instead of making a ganache, I simply fold finely chopped white chocolate into whipped cream. Continue reading...

2 w. ago Death, divorce and the magic of kitchen objects: how to find hope in loss

As they pass through different hands, cooking utensils can magically connect us to loved ones who are no longer with us I have long felt that kitchen objects can have a life of their own. Even so, I found this eerie. One August day in 2020, I was going to fetch clothes out of the washing machine when suddenly a cake tin fell at my feet with a loud clang. It wasn’t just any cake tin. It was the heart-shaped tin I had used to bake my own wedding cake. I wouldn’t have thought much of it except that it was only two months since my husband had left me, out of the blue.Nearly 23 years ago, this giant metal heart had been brand new.

There are photos of us cutting the cake together looking blissfully happy. We would soon be on our way to Venice for our honeymoon. Continue reading...
