It was my turn to do one of the volunteer bakes for the Community Cafe that our group bakes for, and this time around I decided to make a white chocolate and raspberry loaf cake.
I used a “standard” pound cake recipe where I weighed my eggs (in the shell) and then used equal parts butter, flour and sugar. For this one, it was 205g of each ingredient.
, I added to this 150g of chopped white chocolate, 100g homegrown raspberries, and baked as usual (around 160C until the cake was done)
As well as the raspberry and white chocolate cake, I did another vanilla loaf cake that I baked with strawberry jam mixed into the batter. This didn’t quite work out as I’d planned, as the jam sank to the bottom of the cake. You can just about see some traces of the jam in the cake when it was sliced
Thankfully it was still baked so I topped it with jam and sugar to finish it instead.
