Video clip: Merelyn makes her mum’s Custard Chiffon Cake

We thought that Mothers' Day was the perfect day to share this unique video - Merelyn's mother's Custard Chiffon Cake.

We couldn’t resist but share this unique video. The recipe can be found on page 35 of our book. It comes from Merelyn’s mother, who gave it to Merelyn shortly before sadly passing away. Merelyn treasures this recipe like no other, and feels her mother is with her every time she makes it. Have a look at this beautiful video where you will learn all the secrets of the Chiffon Cake, and gain a special insight into a special relationship.

If you need the PERFECT chiffon tin, we now have it (after searching far and wide!!) on this website. Head straight to the shop and you could be baking by the weekend! And remember, all our profits from all sales of books and kitchen equipment go straight to charity.

    Yum yum. Loved the reference to Merelyn’s Mum and a reflection back to her childhood eating yellow cake.

    There is something incredibly special, warming and unique about recipes and food that is shared with love ones. Food memories are possibly one of the most powerful ones we have and should always be treasured…thank you for sharing Merelyn.

    Hi there!

    Just LOVE this recipe. The flavour is fantastic. Just one small issue…. When I took it out of the oven and inverted it to cool it fell out of the pan within a minute or two. It was definitely cooked through and I followed the instructions in the cookbook exactly as written. Went and bought a specific pan for it. It rose up the sides beautifully. What could I have done wrong? Next time should I skip inverting it?

    Thanks for your help, your blog and your book! I so enjoy them all!

      Hi Lauren
      This does happen occasionally when people make it for the first time – and it has happened to each of us over the years – and it happens when it is just the tiniest bit undercooked. I assume you haven’t greased the tin? (Sorry have to ask!) Try adding 15 minutes cooking time and see how you go. If that works fine, then the next time cut off 5 minutes and so on until you get the right consistency and a cake that falls in the pan. Make a note of your cooking time.
      Let me know how you go?
      Cheers
      Lisa

    Many thanks

Anzac Day, held on April 25, is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that honours every soldier who served in war and peacekeeping. We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Anzac biscuits, made from oats and golden syrup were created during World War I because they were affordable, long-lasting, and could be sent to soldiers overseas without spoiling.

We make them every year to honour the tradition of Australia.

Lest we forget

I am a cook. @roknox4wentworth is actually not. 
She is much more than that.
Ro is the fabulous Liberal candidate for my electorate of Wentworth (NSW).

So, in anticipation of ANZAC Day on Friday, I invited Ro into my kitchen to honour the Australian tradition of baking these exceptionally irresistible oat and golden syrup biscuits,
and also to prove two things:
1. Anyone can make excellent ANZAC biscuits (yes, even Ro, a self-proclaimed non-cook), and
2. Sometimes stepping into unfamiliar territory is exactly what leadership looks like.

ANZAC BISCUITS

140 g (1 scant cup) plain flour
55 g (1/2 cup) rolled oats
85 g (heaped 1/3 cup) caster sugar
20 g (1/4 cup) shredded coconut
20 g (1/4 cup) desiccated coconut 
1/8 teaspoon salt
110 g (1 stick) unsalted butter
40 g (1 heaped tablespoon) golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda 

Preheat the oven to 160℃. 
Line a baking tray. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, coconut and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup together. Once melted, stir in the bicarb soda. Let it froth and thicken and then pour onto the dry ingredients. Mix well. Place heaped teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared tray. Flatten slightly if you prefer a more crunchy biscuit. Bake for 20 minutes or until deep golden. 
Makes about 30.

Please share this post so everyone can get baking this week!
