EQUIPMENT:

Handheld whisk or stand mixer 2 x 8 section silicone trays 1 metal tray big enough to hold both silicones Heat proof bowl Blender Pastry brush Small pan

4 eggs 125g caster sugar 100g of plain flour 25g butter 10g butter for greasing

200ml Double cream 25g Caster sugar 1 tbsp Rose water A handful of raspberries crushed

A handful of raspberries 20g of caster sugar

METHOD:

Using 2 silicone molds with 8 inserts (email mike@takefood.co.uk for a link to purchase), brush with melted butter and dust with flour - tip the silicones over a bin to remove the excess flour. Whisk the eggs and sugar over a Bain marie (heat proof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water) until pale and tripled in volume.

Slowly pour in the 50g of butter melted folding in as you do.

Carefully sift in the flour with a pinch of salt

Share the batter equally between 12 of the silicone sections and bake for 12 to15 minutes at 180oC

Carefully remove the sponges from the molds and cool completely on a rack

To make the raspberry sauce blitz the raspberries and sugar together until you get a runny sauce.

Slice in half and sandwich the 2 pieces together with whipped raspberry and rosewater cream. To make this simply whisk cream, caster sugar and rosewater together until really thick and fold in crushed raspberries and raspberry sauce to get a raspberry ripple effect.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

These are great for a party or an afternoon tea.
