An old English recipe for a simple orange flavored, light pudding/dessert.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz leftover yellow sponge cake
  • 2 Tbsp orange rind organic
  • 4 oz orange juice organic, freshly squeezed
  • 2 tsp lemon rind organic (preferably Meyer)
  • 2 oz lemon juice organic (freshly squeezed)
  • ¼ cup Baker's sugar caster
  • 10 oz heavy whipping cream double cream in UK
  • 2 tsp Grand Marnier liqueur (optional)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the pieces of cake into the bottom of 6 long-stemmed glasses and sprinkle with Grand Marnier if desired.
  • Place the citrus juices and rinds into a measuring jug (it should be about 7 fluid ounces) and stir in the sugar until it dissolves.
  • Whip the cream until thick, then gradually add the citrus mixture, while continuing to beat the cream.
  • Pour the mixture over the cake in the glasses and chill for a few hours, or overnight.
  • The juice will drain out of the cream into the cake and the cream will set. Just decorate with some candied orange peel (recipe coming soon) or fresh zest, or even orange segments and serve.

Notes

  • Ingredient amounts aren't critical in this recipe.
