    Super Tasty Sponge Cake

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    4 large eggs, at room temperature
    1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
    1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk
    1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
    Fresh fruit and whipped cream for serving (optional)

    Instructions

    Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
    Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
    Whip the Eggs:
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on high speed until they become thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
    Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 more minutes.
    Heat the Milk and Butter:
    In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
    Combine the Batter:
    Gradually fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
    Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the batter, folding gently until just combined. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
    Bake the Cake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Serve:
    Once the cake is completely cool, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired.

    Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients

    Chicken
    Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into cubes) are ideal for making classic chicken pot pie.

    Butter and Flour
    The chicken pot pie filling starts with a roux made with butter and all-purpose flour.

    Seasonings
    Achieve the perfect cozy flavor with salt, pepper, and celery seed. Of course, you can add more seasonings to suit your taste.

    Broth and Milk
    Chicken broth and milk add depth of flavor and help create a smooth and decadent chicken pot pie filling consistency.

    Pie Crusts
    You’ll need two unbaked pie crusts. If you opt for the homemade route, you can’t go wrong with our recipe — but store-bought is perfectly fine.

    How to Make Chicken Pot Pie

    It’s easier than you think to make a crowd-pleasing homemade chicken pot pie. You’ll find the step-by step recipe below, but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect:

    Make the Filling

    Boil the cubed chicken with the carrots, peas, and celery for about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside. Cook the onions in butter until they’re translucent, then stir in the flour and seasonings. Add the chicken broth and milk and simmer until the filling is thick.

    Fill and Bake the Pie

    • Fiber: 1 g

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare the Pastry Dough

    Start by preparing the pastry, which forms the delicious base and lattice topping of our tart. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with sugar and the grated lemon zest. Beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. The lemon zest infuses the dough with a delicate citrus aroma that will complement the filling beautifully.

    Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The eggs should be fully incorporated, giving the dough a smooth and consistent texture.

    In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring gently to combine. As the dough comes together, you’ll notice it becoming soft yet pliable—perfect for rolling out.

    Divide the dough into two portions, with one slightly larger than the other. This larger piece will form the base of your tart, while the smaller piece will be used for the lattice. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough helps it firm up, making it easier to roll out later.

    2. Prepare the Lemon Cream Filling

    While the dough chills, you can move on to making the lemon cream filling. Begin by heating the latte macchiato (or milk) in a saucepan over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. The warm milk provides a rich, creamy base for the filling.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolkssugarcornstarch, and flour until the mixture is smooth. The cornstarch and flour act as thickeners, ensuring the filling sets properly.

    Slowly pour the warm latte macchiato into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Once combined, pour the mixture back into the saucepan.

    Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens to a custard-like consistency. This process can take several minutes, so patience is key. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and lemon juice. The butter adds richness, while the lemon juice brings a refreshing tartness. Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling the tart.

    3. Assemble the Tart

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take the larger portion of dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. The dough should be large enough to cover the bottom and sides of a 25-27 cm (10-11 inch) tart pan. Press the dough gently into the pan, trimming any excess dough that hangs over the edges.

    Next, pour the prepared lemon cream filling into the pastry-lined tart pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, ensuring that it reaches all the edges.

    Now, take the smaller portion of dough and roll it out. Cut it into strips about 1-2 cm (1/2 inch) wide. Arrange the strips over the lemon filling in a crisscross pattern to create a lattice. Press the edges of the strips gently into the crust to seal them.

    4. Bake the Tart

    Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The tart should be firm to the touch, with a slight jiggle in the center indicating a perfectly set cream.

    5. Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, allow the tart to cool completely before removing it from the tart pan. This cooling period helps the filling to fully set and makes slicing easier.

    For a finishing touch, dust the top of the tart with powdered sugar. You can also garnish it with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves for added color and a burst of freshness.

    Enjoy

    Slice the tart into even pieces and serve. This Lemon Lattice Tart is a refreshing dessert that pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. Its combination of buttery pastry and tangy lemon cream is sure to delight your taste buds, making it a perfect choice for any gathering or special occasion.

    Tips for Perfect Results

    • Chill the Dough: Don’t skip the chilling step for the dough. It makes rolling out easier and helps the crust maintain its shape during baking.
    • Avoid Overcooking the Filling: When cooking the lemon cream filling, keep a close eye on it. Overcooking can cause it to curdle. Stir constantly and remove from heat as soon as it thickens.
    • Serving Suggestions: This tart is delicious on its own, but you can elevate it by serving with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    This Lemon Lattice Tart combines the tangy brightness of lemon with a rich, creamy filling and a tender, buttery crust. Its elegant presentation and delightful flavor make it an ideal dessert for both everyday indulgence and special occasions.

    A pinch of salt
    1 teaspoon sugar
    120 grams flour (1 cup)
    3-4 eggs (depending on size)
    Flaked almonds for topping
    For the Buttercream:

    140 grams butter at room temperature (2/3 cup)
    Prepared pudding from the cream filling (at room temperature)

    Directions:

    Prepare the Cream:
    Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together 2 eggs, 150 grams sugar, vanilla sugar, and 70 grams cornstarch.
    Add Milk: Gradually stir in 500 ml milk, mixing until smooth.
    Cook the Cream: Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
    Cool the Cream: Cover the cream with cling film, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool completely.
    Prepare the Choux Pastry:
    Heat Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine 100 ml water, 100 ml milk, 80 grams butter, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Heat until the butter is fully melted.
    Add Flour: Stir in 120 grams flour all at once and cook the batter for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until it forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
    Cool Slightly: Remove from heat and let the dough cool for about 4 minutes.Add Eggs: Gradually add 3-4 eggs to the dough, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. The dough should slowly pull away from the spoon when lifted.
    Form and Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F). On a baking sheet, pipe or spoon the dough into a circle with a diameter of 18 cm (7 inches). Brush with the remaining egg and sprinkle with flaked almonds. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
    Prepare the Buttercream:
    Mix Buttercream: Gradually add the room temperature pudding to the 140 grams of room temperature butter, mixing until smooth and creamy.
    Assemble the Cake:
    Slice and Fill: Slice the cooled choux pastry horizontally to create two layers. Spread the buttercream evenly on the bottom layer and place the top layer over it.
    Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cake for 30 minutes before serving to allow the cream to set.
    Serving Suggestions:
    Serve chilled with a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
    Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful dessert experience.
    Garnish with fresh berries for added color and flavor.
    Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
    Cooking Tips:
    Ensure the cream and butter are at room temperature before mixing to avoid curdling.
    If the choux pastry dough is too thick, add a bit more egg, little by little, until the consistency is right.
