As you...I used regular plain flour, from the Co-Op. As you know, no bleached flour exists in the UK. Techinically, that is; you can, it turns out, get it at a store I found in St. John's Wood.<br /><br />I also made it again for the weekend to take to a friend's house warming. I did use bleached AP (Gold Medal) that time, added orange zest and made up the cream's weight with about 50g semi skimmed milk (I only had one pot of cream). It was a throw-together, and so can't really be compared, but I did slightly prefer the crumb of this version. Whether that's because of the bleached AP or the lesser amount of cream is a mystery. I actually think it is more likely to have been the orange zest. Such a lovely fragrance.<br /><br />This is a great cake though.Mr. Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283387618237622156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-71569071903373715652012-04-30T02:28:44.182-07:002012-04-30T02:28:44.182-07:00Good to see you're back :) The cake looks deli...Good to see you're back :) The cake looks delicious!Kemimorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17742082585988035367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-29540855055369104422012-04-28T13:36:31.365-07:002012-04-28T13:36:31.365-07:00Can't wait for the fillings.

If your mom likes lighter creams she has some options:<br /><br />A diplomat cream: Whipping cream stabilized with pastry cream. Very similar to what is done here, whip cream + pastry cream = fluffy stuff that is yummy and stable. Lighter than cream cheese and you can use it and then FREEZE the cake/baked goods and then defrost without problems. Groovy, eh?<br /><br />Gelatin. I have a commercial recipe for you, one used by bakeries to stabilize their whip cream. <br /><br />1oz powdered gelatin, 16fl oz cold water 16 fl hot water. <br /><br />Bloom the gelatin in the cold water and then add the hot water to dissolve. This makes a stabilized solution for your whipped cream. Cover tightly and refrigerate until cold. <br /><br />This makes a lot of stabilizing solution, but this is a commercial recipe so you'll need to scale it down as needed. <br /><br />Melt 3oz of the solution and add it to 16fl oz of heavy cream and whip just like you would normally. That cream will be light, like regular cream, but hold up and last much longer.Ms. Humblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960224421093634330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-71608409586968253622012-04-25T18:20:58.768-07:002012-04-25T18:20:58.768-07:00Out of curiosity you said that you don't want ...Out of curiosity you said that you don't want to use cream because then you have to get into chemicals and gelatin but do you know a recipe for that?

I really would love to make this for her with a whipped cream filling that is stabilized but every time I try to find a recipe, it doesn't turn out well.The girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323541371213288419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-66240848027504249232012-04-25T18:12:09.252-07:002012-04-25T18:12:09.252-07:00They do indeed do lean doughs.

I should work on that..<br /><br />Also, don't rule out a Wolf range if you're on the market for shiny stainless appliances. My set of Vikings saw <i>plenty</i> of Steve the repairman.

My husband promised me a Viking range for years while he worked on his MBA and worked full-time, leaving me to run the household solo. Oh, I was also finishing my thesis, too, so I was a bit stressed. Somehow, that MBA was completed but still no range- I do believe you've reminded me to refresh his memory! Don't let the Pinterest folks bug you, some people think that because they can execute cupcakes using a box of Betty Crocker that they're ready for the big time. These things take time and practice, people! Now I'm rambling.
