Full English Breakfast

Hi, this recipe is my own and serves one, but can easily be scaled up for more! I have previously made an Easy full english and a Vegan full english , if you want to have a look at those too.  This was much faster to make than I had anticipated and everything came together at the just right time, which is always a bit of a worry with having so many pans on the go at once (and things under the grill too!). You can change up how you cook the egg (I did scrambled) but some other options are poached, boiled, fried or even baked eggs (think Shakshuka-style).  Traditionally, you may also have fried bread, fried or grilled tomatoes and black pudding, so feel free to add those too. And, is usually served with a nice cup of tea. Enjoy!

Raspberries and Cream Cake

This is a recipe that I found on the Tesco website and made. It was really delicious and tasted great.Though you may have some leftover filling and icing so I will try to get a recipe that will use that up because I had to throw mine away.

Serves 12       Prep-35mins   Cook-25mins

Ingredients:
-250g Unsalted Butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
-250g Caster Sugar
-4 Large Eggs
-200g Self-Raising Four, sifted
-50g Ground Almonds
-1 tsp Baking Powder
-2 Lemons, zested
-Splash of Milk, if needed
For the Filling:
-100g Mascarpone
-200ml Whipping Cream
-3 tbsp Icing Sugar
-200g Frozen Raspberries, defrosted and drained
For the Icing:
-125g Unsalted Butter, softened
-175g Icing Sugar
-1 Lemon, finely zested
-2 tbsp Milk
-Pink Food Colouring
-Edible Rose Petals, to decorate (optional)

Method:
1:Preheat the oven to Gas 4/180℃/160℃ Fan/356℉. Grease and line 3x18cm loose-bottomed cake tins and set aside.
2:In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk(if you have one, I don't so I have to use a normal whisk),until light and fluffy.Beat in the eggs, one at a time,then fold in the flour,almonds,baking powder and lemon zest.If the mixture is too thick, add a splash on milk.The mixture should fall off a spoon when tapped.(mine didn't fall it sort of slowly fell so...)
3:Divide the mixture evenly into the 3 cake tins and bake for 20-25 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the mixture comes out clean. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
4:Meanwhile, make the filling.In a large bowl, whip the mascarpone with the cream and icing sugar, until soft enough to hold its shape. Fold in the raspberries and set aside.
5:For the icing, beat the butter and icing sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy.Add the lemon zest,milk and a few drops of food colouring until the desired shade of pink is reached.
6:To assemble, put one sponge on a serving plate and spread with 1/2 of the filling mixture.Top with the second sponge and repeat with the remaining filling.Top with the 3rd and final sponge. Using a spatula, spread the frosting over the cake and scatter with rose petals (if you want to)
