How to Whip Perfect Cream

Method

1. Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 20 x 20cm cake tin with baking paper.

2. Separate the egg whites and egg yolks into two separate mixing bowls. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until pale. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, beating for 2 minutes, then stir in the flour until combined.

3. Slowly add the lukewarm milk, beating until all the ingredients are well mixed.

4. In the other bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, a third at a time.

5. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and scatter over the chopped rhubarb. It will sink into the cake as it bakes.

6. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the top is lightly golden and doesn't wobble.

7. Leave to cool in the cake tin, then turn out onto a wire rack. When ready to serve, dust the top with icing sugar. Serve with

whipped cream or yoghurt.

Helpful Tip

Fresh rhubarb will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
