Week 7 - CASSATA! *shopping list*

We are freezing this week instead of baking! :)

I always remember this dessert from birthdays and special occasions when i was little. Mum use to make it and i can remember it as though it was yesterday, yumm, so i knew i had to fit this one in during one of our 'sweet' weeks :)
I rang mum and wrote down the recipe and method as she told me it (i changed one little bit though - where she said it serves 6 i changed that to serves 1 pregnant lady - hope thats ok!) ;)

Shopping List
300ml double cream
150ml single cream
1/4tsp finely grate orange rind
4 tbsp orange juice
75g caster sugar
50g sultanas
50g marachino cherries quartered
50g blanched almonds or hazelnuts toasted/chopped
20 sponge fingers

OOPS THANKS SUE - for this you will need a 2lb loaf tin or similar!! :)

SOOOOOoooooo looking forward to this one!! :D :D

  3. Sorry sue just updated the post - you need a 2lb loaf tin or similar depending on what shape you want to make. The loaf tin just makes it easier to line with the sponge fingers! :)
