RECIPE: Ginger and rhubarb cake with brown buttercream

Ingredients

320g Unsalted butter

320g Light brown sugar

320g Self-raising flour

2 tsp Baking powder

1 1/2 tbsp Ground ginger

1 tsp Mixed spice

1 tsp Salt

6 Eggs

2 tbsp Black treacle

1 tsp Vanilla paste

2 tbsp Milk

Half a jar of DukesHill Rhubarb & Ginger Jam

500g Good quality salted butter

500g Icing sugar

30ml Double cream

Black pepper

1 tbsp Honey

Fudge to decorate, crumbled

Method

Grease and flour three 20cm cake tins and preheat the oven to 170c. 

In a large bowl, sieve together the flour, ginger, mixed spice, salt and baking powder and set aside. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. While still beating the mixture, add the eggs one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour mixture if it starts to curdle. Whisk in the black treacle. Pour into the prepared tins and bake for 25 minutes - or until the cakes spring back to the touch and an inserted skewer comes out clean.

Set aside to cool for five minutes, while you combine the milk and vanilla paste together. Remove the cakes from the tins and place on a wire rack. Brush each cake with the vanilla milk soak and leave to cool.

To make the brown buttercream, place the butter in a pan over a medium heat and cook while stirring from time to time. Don't go away - watch the colour and smell the aromas carefully, as it will turn quickly. When the butter has turned light brown and smells nutty, remove from the heat. Don't allow it to brown too much otherwise it will taste acrid. Set aside for at least 20 minutes to cool.

Sieve the icing sugar in a stand mixer and add the brown butter and double cream. Whisk until it thickens. It can be made in advance and chilled.

To assemble the cakes, place the first sponge onto a serving plate, drizzle a little honey over the sponge and twist of freshly milled black pepper. Then, pipe buttercream around the edge of the sponge before spooning jam into the middle. The buttercream forms a barrier that prevents the cakes from sliding around. Pipe buttercream over the jam. Add the next sponge and repeat the process. For the final sponge, add the drizzle of honey and black pepper and finish with a layer of buttercream. Add crumbled fudge around the circumference to decorate.

Perfect for those who want to stay in and cook a romantic meal for their loved one, each hamper comes packed with delicious Tuscany Corner ingredients and three inspirational recipes which make a delicious, authentic, Italian meal for two for just £35!

The exclusive Valentine's Day hampers, include: a rich ragu (meat sauce) or a mouth-watering porcini mushroom sauce, a bottle of organic red or white wine (750ml), a percorino degli sposi cheese (translated this means the bride & groom's pecorino, perfect for the most romantic day of the year!), as well as a jar of honey or Chianti jelly and a 500g bag pasta, all presented in a delightful hamper.

An example of a recipe included in the hamper is listed below:

RECIPE 3: Rigatoni "cacio e pepe" (pepper and Tuscan pecorino cheese)
Serves 2:
Fill a large saucepan with three litres of water. Bring the water to the boil and add a level tablespoon of salt together with the fresh pasta. Leave the pasta to cook for 20 minutes. In the meantime, take a small saucepan and add 100 grams of grated mature pecorino cheese, a little cracked black pepper and 5/6 grams of crushed, whole peppercorns. Add a little water from the pasta and whip the cheese until it becomes creamy. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and place in a frying pan with a little water and the creamed cheese. Stir thoroughly off the heat to stop the cheese from becoming hard. Serve with a little more cracked pepper and grated pecorino on top.
