As most bakers struggle to caramelise their walnuts, super fit Ugne does it with such ease that she even has time to make a spun sugar decoration.Īt the judging, there are lots of complaints about the granular texture of the frosting, which Paul illustrates through the medium of his face. A flushed Stu misinterprets ‘hot water’ and uses ‘wooden bench’ instead. The recipe calls for a white frosting, whisked over hot water. Place the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder and eggs in a large bowl and beat well with an electric whisk until thoroughly blended. Black forest gateau: a much maligned work of Germanic genius, or a dish best left with steak diane back in 1976 Do you prefer yours rich and gooey or light and creamy and which other retro. Mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda with a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Put the butter and 75g chocolate broken into chunks in a small pan and gently heat, stirring, until completely melted. Blend the cocoa powder to a paste with 75ml (5tbsp) boiling water. Grease and line the base of 3 x 20cm cake tins.
Sandy thinks she may have made it years ago but says it didn’t work. Grease and base line the two sandwich tins with greaseproof paper. On to the technical challenge, which is revealed to be a frosted walnut cake. Mel eyes up Marie’s crisp candied peel and asks if she can take the pith. In the end, Nadiya and Tamal win praise for their flavours, and Flora and Marie for their mastery of the classic. Mary says it’s not a Madeira – Paul looks like he needs emergency dental treatment. Mary is scowling.īut it’s left to seriously cool Stu to play the wild card with a rum, lime and chocolate cake. Mary tastes the cake but can’t taste the gin.

Tamal injects a little flavour into his pistachio Madeira with a rosewater syrup. Sandy scatters her fruit but her confidence is shaken. he’s called Paul.Īlvin and Sandy take the fruity route – the former has some very chunky figs, the latter claims her apricots are ‘seriously well dispersed’. Then a group of would be rebels decides to spice things up a little – Nadiya opts for cardamom, it’s ginger for Ian, lemon thyme for Ugne and caraway for Paul, who we are told looks like Mr Hollywood. Mel and Sue receive a written warning from the double entendre police. Marie, Dorret and Flora heed Mary’s chilling advice. She’s looking for a classic with a crack, ‘Because you can’t beat it’. Mary, zipped up in a quilted jacket against said gentle Berkshire breeze, says that she doesn’t want things to go too far.
Now it’s not unknown to pop a cherry or two in the mix to liven things up, but this cake is hardly renowned for its creative potential. yes, Bake Off is back!įirst up it’s the signature challenge of a Madeira cake – that plainest of plain cakes. Amid the scent of lemon zest and cardamom, we behold a pristine batch of one dozen perfect, oven-fresh little bakers.
