Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 English Raspberry Trifle Serves 6 For the swiss roll sponge: 1 free-range egg 50g / 2oz soft raw brown sugar 30ml / 2tbsp cold water 5ml / 1tsp natural vanilla extract 75g / 3oz self-raising wholemeal flour, sifted, bran included 3 free-range egg whites (the yolks are used in the custard) 90ml / 6tbsp sugar-free raspberry jam 150ml / ¼ pint fruit juice, eg. apple and strawberry diluted from concentrate 50g / 2oz flaked almonds Heat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Line a 7in x 11in swiss roll tin with non-stick baking parchment. Whisk together one whole egg with sugar, water and vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in flour.With a clean whisk and in a separate bowl, whisk egg whites to a stiff foam. Use hand whisk to gently stir whites into flour mixture, a third at a time.Pour mixture into a lined tin, tilting tin to spread mixture evenly. Do not spread by hand, as air bubbles will be lost from the mixture.Cook for 8 minutes, until firm to touch. Turn out onto greaseproof paper. Remove lining paper. Spread cake with raspberry jam, and roll up firmly using greaseproof paper to assist. Cut cake into slices and arrange in a 2-pint glass bowl so that the spiral shapes can be seen from the outside. Fill with remaining cake to give a flat layer in the bowl.Pour fruit juice over and sprinkle with almonds. Press top flat with a spatula. For the custard 3 free-range egg yolks 300ml / ½pint milk 15ml / 1tbsp raw sugar or honey A vanilla pod, split (or 5ml / 1tsp vanilla extract, which should be added after cooking) Use a fork to beat egg yolks with 60ml / 4tbsp of the milk. Put remaining milk, sugar/honey and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring slowly to the boil. Pour onto egg yolks and stir. Rinse pan and strain mixture back into it.Stir over a very low heat until liquid coats the back of a spoon. This will take about 5 minutes. It will be quite a thin custard. Do not boil as the custard will curdle. Pour over cake layer and leave to cool. To decorate 300ml / ½ pint whipping cream, whisked until stiff 1 red apple, washed, not peeled, cut into thin slices and dipped in lemon juice 25g / 1oz crystalised angelica, cut into diamonds. Spread half the cream flat over the cold trifle. Pipe a rosette of cream in the middle, and a circle of rosettes around the outside.Arrange apple slices vertically radiating out into a spiral on top of the trifle. Press a piece of angelica into each cream rosette.In 1983 the drug company Pfizer carried out a study to test the efficiency of animal tests. Human findings were compared with experimental data from rats and mice for all chemicals known to cause cancer in people. In most cases animal tests had given the wrong answers. The report concluded that we would have been better off to toss a coin! (D. Salsburg, Fundamental & Applied Toxicology, 1983, vol. 3, 63-67.) Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
