Charred clementine and rum individual upside-down cakes

by Jeanne Horak on December 31, 2012 15 Comments in Baking (sweet), Dessert, Recipes

And here we are again – the fnal blog post of another year.

In 2011 my final post was a visual toast to my readers.

In 2010 my final post was a recipe for shredded Brussels sprouts with pancetta & pine nuts

In 2009 my final post was a Christmas message (gulp – a whole week without a blog post?!).

In 2008, ever the practical one, it was a recipe for a leftover Christmas gammon & caramelised shallot quiche.

In 2007, my final post was a recipe for a warming, wintry Jerusalem artichoke & potato gratin.

In 2006, my final post was the launch of my, Andrew and Johanna’s monthly event Waiter, There’s Something In My…

In 2005 , my final post was the rather inspired roundup of the nursery rhyme edition of my beloved ovo-literary monthly event, the End of Month Egg on Toast Extravaganza.

And in 2004, my final post of my first year of blogging was a reminiscence of new year’s eves gone by and featured (astonishingly!) some ABBA lyrics.

 

 

But as every good cook knows, a good meal should end with something sweet and so because I have neglected to do so up to now, I will finish my year in 2012 with a dessert recipe that will eclipse the new year fireworks – but yet it isn’t rocket science to make. The basic recipe is an adaptation of something I made years ago with dried apricots and pistachios, but the flavour inspiration comes from the McCormick 2013 Flavour Forecast. The Flavour Forecast is the result of a year of culinary exploration, data discovery, and insight development by an international group of McCormick experts, including chefs, sensory scientists, trend trackers and food technologists.  The objective is to  identify the trends and flavours in food and cooking worldwide, and then to hold a global to pool their insights and establish a limited number of global themes which seem to be emerging in locations as diverse as Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, Latin America and North America. I previously used one of their five trend themes identified in the forecast (“Global, my way”) as a springboard to inspire my South African chakalaka-spiced hummus, but this time it was another of the themes that caught my eye:  no apologies necessary.  The Forecast describes the thinking behind this trend as follows:

“In a rational rebellion against the “always-on”  mindset of modern life, food lovers are making the conscious choice to stop and enjoy the moment. This unapologetic escape from  everyday demands is a necessary break, a chance to savour each detail of the eating experience. Diving head first into sumptuous flavours, we are staking our claim to the pleasures we crave and the satisfaction we deserve until, finally, all seems right with the world.”

Doesn’t that sound like a tailor-made set of new year’s resolutions for 2013?? One of the recipes sent to accompany this trend was for a charred orange sorbet with a warm rum sauce. That’s what set my mind racing and ed me to adapt my old recipe with these new flavours to create a simple yet spectacular dessert fit for a New Year’s Eve dinner.  Using clementines with their softer skin means that you don’t have to peel them as the skin is soft enough to eat, but the essential marriage of rum and citrus remains the same (and it is fabulous, I have to say!). The cake itself is dense yet never heavy, thanks to the whipped egg whites, and the syrup is rich but never too sweet.  I must warn you, though, that these little cakes are addictive! Thanks once again to McCormick for sharing their forecast and their recipes with me – I foresee a year of flavourful innovation and experimentation in the Cooksister kitchen.

 

To all my readers – thank you for your support, comments and friendship in 2012.  May you find time in 2013 to stop, switch off and enjoy the moment; to escape regularly from the demands of everyday life; to dive into flavours and experiences that enrich your life; and that you may enjoy health, prosperity and friendship.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

These individual charred clementine & rum upside down cakes are simple to make but provide a show-stoppingly decadent dessert at the end of any dinner party.
Author: Jeanne Horak-Druiff
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: International
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 90 + 45 ml orange juice
  • 45ml dark rum
  • 6 horizontal slices of unpeeled clementine, about 3mm thick (you will probably need 3 large clementines)
  • 3 Tbsp butter + butter for greasing the ramekins
  • 85g firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 190g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 63g + 63g granulated sugar, divided (plus extra for charring)
  • 85ml milk
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large egg whites at room temperature
Instructions
  1. Lightly butter the inside of six oven-proof ramekins and then line with baking paper (I found it was easiest to cut circles for the bases and strips for the sides, rather than to try and use a single piece). Preheat oven to 180C.
  2. Slice the largest clementines you can find horizontally (through their “equator”) to get 6 slices large enough to cover the base of your ramekins.
  3. Melt a knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan till it bubbles, sprinkle each slice of clementine generously with granulated sugar and fry till slightly charred, then sprinkle each with sugar, flip over and repeat. Place one slice in the base of each prepared ramekin.
  4. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Set aside 1Tbsp in a small bowl for later. Add 85ml of the orange juice and brown sugar to the butter in the saucepan and bring to the boil. Cook for about 1 minute or until the mixture thickens slightly to form a caramel sauce.
  5. Carefully divide the caramel sauce between the six ramekins. Pour the sauce over the clementine slice in the base of each ramekin and gently swirl to get an even layer.
  6. Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl. To the reserved melted butter, add 63g of the granulated sugar, milk, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir well. Add this to flour mixture and beat well to ensure there are no lumps. Set aside.
  7. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Gradually add the remaining ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks almost form.
  8. Gently fold about a quarter of the egg white mixture into batter, then gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture.
  9. Carefully pour the batter over the charred clementine slices in the ramekins. Bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick inserted in centre of the cakes comes out clean.
  10. In the meanwhile, return the saucepan that you used for the caramel to the heat with the last Tbsp of butter and add the remaining orange juice and rum. Bring to the boil and reduce to a syrupy consistency.
  11. After removing the cakes from the oven, allow to stand for 5 minutes on a wire rack, then carefully invert each ramekin onto an individual serving plate. Lift the ramekin carefully – it should come away from the cake easily – and peel off the baking paper. Pour a little of the orange rum syrup over each pudding and serve immediately with a scoop of double cream.

      And the happiest of new years to you too, Saucy! It’s a great recipe and v versatile – have used the basic cake recipe with both apricots and clementines now, and want to try out other fruits too. And of course, everything tastes better with a splash of rum (or Cognac, or whisky, or…!) ;o)

    The perfect cake, the perfect sentiments. My glamorous, high heel wearing Granny used to call enjoying the moment ‘having a minute’. I wish you and your family a mountain of those minutes in 2013.

What better way to celebrate the day when the clocks go forward to British Summer Time than with  a glorious photo of St Paul's Cathedral shyly peeping out from a cloud of pink cherry blossoms against a perfect blue sky! 🌸🌞

London is awash in glorious blossoms at the moment, from Greenwich Park in the east to Kew Gardens in the west, and the fun part is trying to catch each type of tree just when the blossoms are at their best.

The cherry plums have been exploding into clouds of small white blossoms and sweet fragrance for a few weeks already; and the early flowering cherry trees, camellias and magnolias are coming into their own right now. Plus we still have the late-flowering cherries, rhododendrons and wisteria to look forward to!

Do you have a favourite Spring tree or park for blossoms in London? Let me know in the comments 🌺

"The essence of being human is that one does not s "The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection" 

I wonder what the author if those words would have made of the age of Instagram? We are fed an endless stream of perfect images of perfect bodies and perfect lives. In the back of our minds we KNOW this is not reality, but still the subconscious yearning for this imaginary world of perfection persists. Humans are funny that way.

But so often in life, things fall short of the perfection we imagined - seemingly perfect relationships fail, cakes look nothing like the picture in the book, clothes that looked good on the internet look ridiculous on our bodies, the wrong turn we took meant we never got to our planned destination.

Falling short of perfection is part of life. The big question is how you deal with it. Do you throw your hands up in despair and berate yourself for failure? Or do you find the positives in the imperfect outcomes of your plans? 

This photo taken almost exactly 4 years ago was meant to be a "perfect" Instagram shot of me in my signature pose, on a perfect sunny day on snowy ski slopes. Instead, as @explorista snapped the photo, our ski instructor decided to throw handfuls of snow at me - but as it turns out, this "imperfect" shot turned out to be my favourite of the day 😍

Do you find joy in life's imperfections?
What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? Up What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? 

Up until about a week ago I would have said cauliflower cheese... but all that changed when I made this low-carb cauliflower steak Welsh rarebit... I first made cauliflower steaks years ago, before cauliflower started enjoying its 15 minutes of fame, as a main course for vegetarian friends. But it wasn't till last week when I wanted to make Welsh rarebit for St David's day and discovered I had no bread that it struck me that cauli steaks would make the perfect base for Welsh rarebit! It's totally indulgent - like pouring a beery cheese fondue over your cauliflower - and totally addictive. You can find the full recipe in the link in my profile,  or SAVE this post for basic instructions! Remember to tag me if you try it -I'd love to see 😊

* Slice two 1cm steaks vertically from the middle of a large cauliflower, season and fry in  butter and oil till browning slightly.

* Oven bake for 10 mins at 200C while you mix grated cheddar, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and beer. (The Duvel Belgian ale works a charm, BTW!).

* Spread the cheese mix generously over the 2 steaks and pop under a medium grill until golden and bubbly

You're welcome 🤩
Dyed Gwyl Dewi Hapus - or happy St David's Day if Dyed Gwyl Dewi Hapus - or happy St David's Day if you don't speak Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

March 1 is the day on which the Welsh people celebrate their patron saint, St David, and one of their traditions is to wear a daffodil, the national flower of Wales. Here are five daffodil facts to impress your Welsh friends:

🌼 There's no difference between a daffodil and a narcissus. Daffodil (or jonquil) is simply the common name for members of the Narcissus genus, so all daffodils are narcissi.

🌼 There is only one species if daffodil that is native to the UK - Narcissus Pseudonarcissus, or wild daffodils. You can spot them by the fact that their outer 6 petals are a paler yellow than the central trumpet, and they are usually smaller than the showy, giant yellow commercially grown daffs. 

🌼 It's not entirely certain how the daffodil came to be the national flower of Wales - one theory is that they are one of the few flowers in bloom on 1 March. Another is that the daffodil is less... antisocial to wear than the other Welsh national symbol, the leek 🤣

🌼 Daffodils are the official 10th wedding anniversary flower.

🌼 Daffodils contain a poisonous sap - keep away from pets and if mixing daffodils in a vase with other flowers, let them stand in water separately for 24 hours first I case they affect the other flowers. 

Are daffodils your favourite Spring flower? Or do you prefer something else?
As a girl who lived more than half her life in the As a girl who lived more than half her life in the African sun, February and March are the hardest months for me to bear in the UK. All the excitement of Christmas and New Year has faded; the credit card bill has arrived; the sun is still setting before I finish work; and the snow that we all hoped for at Christmas finally arrives and disrupts everything. This is why, every year in Feb/March since I moved to the UK (other than the year I broke my femur a week before I was due to fly!), I decamp to South Africa for 2 weeks to visit my family and get my fix of vitamin D (and vitamin Sea!).

This week I should have been here - the Beacon Island hotel in Plettenberg Bay, which I have been visiting since I was about six years old. It is where I go to lift my spirits and clear my head. But for the last 2 years, Covid has meant that I have not been able to go home - or see my family. 

For the most part, although I miss travel, I am secretly quite liking taking a breather and being able to be home without FOMO for a while. But not being able to see my family has been incredibly hard, particularly as I have no family in this country.  And my blood boils at people bending the rules (a dentist appointment in Tenerife when you live in Manchester? Seriously??) to go on holiday while I have not seen my clinically vulnerable brother in two years. Covidiots.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as vaccinations are widely rolled out and international travel becomes practical again, I will be on a plane to South Africa so fast it will make your head spin.

Where will YOU head to first once we are able to travel again,  and why?

Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷 [Press trip] Back Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷

[Press trip] Back before Covid put our lives on hold, I spent a few days in the Languedoc-Rousillon wine region of France learning about (and tasting!) Pays d'Oc IGP wines. 

Want to learn more about the region's wines? Read on, swipe through the images (remember to  bookmark this post to refer back to later) - and click the live link in my bio for the full blog post! 

🍷 The Languedoc-Rousillon region is the largest wine producing region in the world, and produces about a third of all French wine. Pays d'Oc IGP is a classification region within Languedoc-Rousillon, with vineyards that take up over half the total vineyard area in the Languedoc-Rousillon region. Pays d'OC IGP wines account for about 20% of the total of all French wine produced.

🍷IGP stands for Indication Geographique Protegée, meaning it is a protected indication of origin and wines must be made only from approved grape varieties that must be grown entirely within the region's geographic boundaries.

🍷 Most French wines are named for their region (Bordeaux, Chablis, Champagne) but you won't see the name of the grape variety on the label. In response to consumer demand and the New World trend to label wines with grape varieties, rules were changed in Pays d'Oc in the late 1980s and Pays d'Oc wines now account for 92% of French varietal wines (e.g. labelled Chardonnay, Syrah, Viognier etc.).

🍷 There are 58 grape varieties that are allowed to be planted in the region but the Pays d'Oc IGP varietal wines to watch out for include Chardonnay, Rolle (another name for Vermentino) and Viognier among the whites; and Syrah, Mourvedre and Pinot Noir among the reds.

🍷 All wines labelled Pays d'Oc IGP are sampled and approved in a blind tasting by a panel of professionals, meaning the label is a guarantee of quality to the consumer. 

🍷 Producers that you should look out for include Gerard Bertrand, Domaine Gayda, Les Jamelles, Les Yeuses, Paul Mas and Domaine Aigues Belles.

New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way f New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way forward?

I have mentioned before that I don't really make new year's resolutions. There is always so much pressure to make them BIG lofty goals and this is essentially what dooms them to failure. Instead, for the past few years I have made a list of... affirmations? Mantras? I have yet come up with a word that does not make my toes curl 🤣

These are essentially reminders rather than goals - presets, if you like, for the year ahead. I keep them in a handwritten list next to my computer and when I don't know how to react to something or how to shake a mood, I read them and there is usually an answer in there somewhere. 

Given the bruising year last year was, and how 2021 has so far proven itself to be not much better, I really wanted to add something practical to this year's list to lift my spirits on days when I am down. And for that I borrowed shamelessly from the wonderful @gretchenrubin:

🌈  ACT THE WAY YOU WANT TO FEEL 🌈

And this photo is a reminder of how I want to feel on so, so many levels: hanging out with friends; dancing in the sunshine; wearing my favourite red dress; travelling (this was in Carouge, Switzerland); and surrounded by a rainbow of colour. I can't travel and I can't see friends, but I can dance in my kitchen, singing at the top of my voice wearing my brightest clothes. 

What strategies do you use to lift your spirits? I'd love to hear!

If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bi If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bircher muesli during lockdown, you will want to bookmark this post right now! 🔖

I have learnt a few things during lockdown. I have learnt that I am more comfortable spending long periods alone than I had ever imagined; that I suffer a lot more from FOMO (fear of missing out!) than I would like to admit; and that pre-Covid I spent rude sums of money on commuting and barista coffee...! 

I also learnt that although I miss travel and social events and meals out, it is often the smaller things that you miss most acutely - the freedom to call up a friend you haven't seen in a while and inviting them over. Hugging (or even seeing) my family. And grabbing a macchiato and a Pret Bircher muesli on the way to work. Don't ask me why, but it became a small obsession of mine to create a fakeaway Pret Bircher during lockdown - and I think I have succeeded! Here's how:

For 2 servings you will need:
100g rolled oats
200ml milk or water
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds 
1 Tbsp shelled pistachio nuts
1 Tbsp dried cranberries 
2 small apples
175g plain yoghurt
Honey
Pomegranate rails

Mix the oats, seeds, nuts and cranberries together then add the milk/water and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. 

When ready to serve, grate the apples and mix them in with the oats and yoghurt (add a little extra milk to loosen if needed). Stir in honey to taste and serve topped with pomegranate arils and pistachios. Full recipe and more photos are available now on the blog - click the live link in my profile.

Did you try any fakeaway recipes over lockdown? Please let me know in the comments - I would love to hear about it!
