Raspberry Millefeuille
Thin and buttery layers of rough puff pastry, filled with fresh raspberries and vanilla cream. This thin French Pastry is set to impress guests at a dinner party.
Prep Time: 40 minutes. Cooking Time: 10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
For the pastry:
250g strong plain flour, plus extra for dusting
225g unsalted butter, chilled
150ml cold water
Pinch of salt
For the millefeuille:
80g icing sugar
Approx 200g raspberries
For the cream filling:
165ml whipping cream
45g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
METHOD
• To make the puff pastry - Put the flour and salt in a large bowl and mix with a knife. Gradually add the water while mixing until the dough just comes together. Bring it into a smooth ball, cover with cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
• Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough into a circle about 25cm in diameter.
• Place the butter between two sheets of baking paper and gently tap it with a rolling pin until pliable but still cold. Shape it into a neat rectangle roughly 1cm thick.
• Place the butter block in the centre of the dough. Fold the edges of the dough in to fully enclose the butter, ensuring all seams are sealed so the butter cannot escape during rolling.
• Roll the dough into a long rectangle approximately 20 × 40cm, keeping the edges straight. Fold the bottom third up over the centre, then the top third down over that. Seal the edges lightly with the rolling pin and rotate the dough 90°.
• Roll the dough out into another long rectangle of the same size, fold in thirds again, seal and rotate 90°.
• Cover the dough and chill for 20 minutes. Repeat the rolling, folding and chilling sequence four more times, chilling for at least 20 minutes between each
The Kit List
turn. After the final fold, chill for at least 1 hour before using.
• To make the Millefeuille - Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper and dust your work surface with icing sugar. Roll out the pastry as thinly as possible into 25cm x 30cm rectangles, trimming the edges straight.
• Cut out 18 rectangles about 9 x 5cm and place them on the prepared baking tray. Dust with icing sugar and chill in the fridge for half an hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
• Remove the pastry from the fridge and bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and dust with icing sugar again, before returning to the oven and baking for another 5 minutes, until the pastry turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• For the filling - put the cream, icing sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. Scoop the mixture into a piping bag with a straight nozzle and pipe 2 rows of columns of cream over the pastry, placing raspberries between each column. Add another pastry rectangle on top. You can either stop at 2 layers or add another before finally dusting with icing sugar.
Crowning Eight Decades of Baking: Nordic Ware’s Iconic Bundt® Pan
For eight decades, Nordic Ware has shaped more than cakes—it has shaped traditions. From humble beginnings to global kitchen - cupboard essential, the Bundt ® pan has become an enduring symbol of celebration, creativity, and home - baked joy. Now, as the brand marks its 80th anniversary, it unveils a pan designed to honour both its heritage and the moments its products continue to inspire: the Laurel Wreath Bundt ® Pan.
Nordic Ware 80th Anniversary
Laurel Wreath Bundt ® Pan RRP £67.50 Harts Price £54
An Emblem of Victory— In
Cake Form
The new pan is more than an anniversary release; it’s a sculpted tribute to achievement. Wrapped in meticulously carved laurel leaves—a motif stretching from ancient Roman triumphs to today’s Olympic medal ceremonies—the pan transforms any bake into a celebration. Whether topping the tables at milestone birthdays or marking everyday triumphs, it elevates a simple cake to a gesture of honour.
The symbolism is intentional. For Nordic Ware, the laurel wreath mirrors what countless home bakers have long known: great bakes aren’t merely eaten; they’re shared, remembered, and woven into personal histories.
Designed for Beauty. Built for Performance
True to Nordic Ware’s reputation, the Laurel Wreath Bundt ® Pan blends artistry with engineering. Cast from premium aluminum, it ensures even baking and the crisp definition Bundt ® enthusiasts expect. Its non-stick interior allows for effortless release—an essential for a design where every leaf, vein, and curve counts. A warm gold exterior paired with a silver interior makes it as elegant on display as it is durable in the oven, boasting heat resistance up to 205°C and a scratch‑resistant finish.
With a 10‑cup capacity, it’s sized for gatherings big and small. And like all Nordic Ware Bundt ® pans, it’s proudly made in the USA, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and longevity.
The Laurel Wreath continues this legacy, embodying the elegance and meaning that have kept the Bundt ® pan a cultural icon.
The Story Behind the Brand
Behind every Bundt ® pan lies a history of family, innovation, and craftsmanship. For more than 80 years, Nordic Ware has operated with a deep dedication to quality—designing products meant not just to be used, but to be handed down. Their success stems from loyal employees, a passion for American manufacturing, and relentless creativity in their search for new kitchenware ideas.
A Tradition of Milestone Masterpieces
This isn’t the first time Nordic Ware has marked an anniversary with a collectible pan—and fans may recall two recent favourites. The 75th anniversary introduced the intricately twisted Braided Bundt ® , while the 70th brought the regal Crown Bundt ® Each captured the spirit of its celebration year; each has since become a coveted piece for collectors and hobby bakers alike.
From original cake‑mold pioneers to global household name, their mission has remained unchanged: make tools that serve home cooks with excellence.
A Pan Worthy of the Occasion
Anniversary products are often ceremonial— but the Laurel Wreath Bundt ® Pan is both commemorative and functional, embodying the brand’s dual strengths: expressive design and reliable performance. It’s not just a pan; it’s a piece of art you can bake with, a conversation starter, and perhaps, the beginning of new family traditions.
This 80th‑anniversary release doesn’t merely celebrate where Nordic Ware has been—it celebrates where bakers can go next.
Lemon Thyme Olive Oil Bundt Cake
Bright, fragrant, and irresistibly moist, this Lemon Thyme Olive Oil Cake celebrates the beauty of citrus and herbs in perfect harmony. Made with extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon zest, and aromatic thyme, it’s a fresh twist on a classic citrus cake. A Citrus Thyme Soak infuses the cake with tangy sweetness and keeps the crumb ultra-moist. Baked in the 80th Anniversary Laurel Wreath Bundt ® Pan, this cake’s intricate leaf design makes it as stunning as it is delicious
Prep Time: 20 minutes. Cooking Time: 45 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Dry:
3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp baking soda
Wet:
1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
Zest from 3–4 large lemons (about 3 heaped tbsps)
1 tbsp fresh thyme, roughly chopped
1 cup + 2 tbsp (270 ml) light olive oil
¾ cup (180 ml) fresh squeezed lemon juice
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt (full fat or 2%)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Citrus Soaking Glaze:
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup sprigs fresh thyme tied together with baking twine
Lemon Thyme Glaze (optional):
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tbsp Citrus Soak
1 tbsp milk
METHOD
Cake:
• Preheat oven to 177°C. Prepare pan with baking spray and use a pastry brush to evenly coat the details of the pan.
• In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, thyme, and 1.5 cups granulated sugar, mixing it with your fingers until the zest is well combined with the sugar. Set aside to rest and infuse the sugar.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside. Whisk together infused sugar, olive oil and lemon juice until pale and sugar has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and yogurt.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until just blended after each addition.
• Add the batter to the prepared pan, spreading evenly and filling ¾ full. Gently tap pan on counter to remove air bubbles. Bake 40-45 minutes until dark golden and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and place over a sheet pan.
Soak:
• While the cake is cooling in the pan, make the glaze. Bring 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and thyme sprigs to a boil in a small nonreactive saucepan, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Reserve 3 tbsp of syrup for the glaze. After inverting cake and while cake is still warm, poke top of cake with a toothpick or skewer. Use a pastry brush and brush top and sides of cake with glaze. Allow to soak in and repeat. Cool to room temperature.
Glaze:
• In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar and reserved lemon thyme syrup. Add milk until desired thickness. Pour over cooled cake.
