Recipe for Buttermilk Sponge A fluffy texture, with a homemade farm-style flavour; just perfect for a winter dessert. Prep Time:15 minutes Cook Time:75 minutes Ingredients: 50g SPAR butter, soft 200 ml SPAR castor sugar 5 X-Large SPAR eggs, separated 500 ml buttermilk (1 carton) SPAR vanilla pod, split open lengthwise 60 ml SPAR cake flour 1 ml salt 250 ml chilled SPAR long-life cream Method: 1. Pre-heat oven to 160 ° C. Lightly grease a fairly shallow but large oven dish. 2. Beat the butter and sugar together, then mix in the egg yolks and buttermilk thoroughly. 3. Scrape the vanilla seeds from inside the pod, directly into the mixture, then gently blend in the flour and salt. 4. Beat the cream and egg whites separately, until stiff peaks form. Lightly fold them both in evenly to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring a fluffy consistency is maintained. 5. Pour this mixture into the prepared dish, placed in a larger surrounding dish with water poured in to reach at least halfway up the sides of the dessert oven dish. 6. Bake for 1 – 1 ¼ hours. Serve immediately, with honey or warmed jam drizzled over. Hints and Tips: 1. Add in strawberry essence to the mixture, if you will be serving strawberry jam as the topping. 2. Add the unused vanilla pod outer to a jar of sugar, for it to impart a vanilla flavour to the sugar for your next baking session. SPAR
