Pimms Shortcake Cake

Well its Saturday, its Summer and its Wimbledon Finals weekend, and like any good Brit I will be at work 🙈😂😂😂

No really, there still is time of tennis and cake, but what cake………..lets think I could go strawberries and Cream……..( insert Yawn 🙊)

Nah lets ramp it up lets go boozy and lets go Quintessentially British watch the Tennis in the stands on Centre court in all our finery sipping a Pimms ( auto correct is shocking 🙊 )and Lemonade , or as it will sat on the sofa, stuffing our faces with cake and if we are lucky a cup of tea ( well its mid afternoon and well is it an acceptable hour 😂😂😂)

So now to touch on the cross international boundaries, ermmm ‘Shortcake ‘ an American Buttermilk Scone to us Brits that’s not a Scone and the British Scone that the Americans term a biscuit 😂😂😂😂😂

Confused yet……….well you should be I battle hard in my International Baking group to teach them THE PROPER WAYS, but well I can but try they are a tad resistant 😂😂😂😂

Anyway, I have no clue why this cake is actually classed as a shortcake cake, its a single layer flan sponge to me, using a reverse creaming method😜

Look its a cake, its a way to make a cake, a standard method I’ve used in gluten free baking to judge the amount of fluid needed for a while, its nothing new and certainly nothing to be frightened off. I’ve never produced a dense cake yet with it……Gluten Free has its benefits and not over mixing is certainly an art form and you will need a high mix speed to achieve that one… golden rule, less is always more when it comes to cake batter

Now lets talk Pimms or rather lets get them to do it………its a cocktail honest

If your buying a bottle I best give to a recipe so you can at least finish of the bottle in a humane way 😂🙊😂

So back to the cake, it doesn’t take long and its divine even though I say it myself, but if you don’t want to mess with the Pimms just chuck some fruit on the top……. in an artist manner and wow your friends family and difficult guests.

Right lets get busy……….bake, now ,I insist 😜😜😜

Right got it , know what your doing this weekend now after shopping, cake you need desperately to make this cake, I know you do.

Its light on fat content but that gives it its texture to much fat and it will turn dense

Just in case your not sure I best give you some pictures yet again, promise no stacking just unadulterated crumbporn and cake 😂😂

So there you go, this weeks instalment of #everyoneshouldenjoycake…….
