Call Me Cupcake is an amazingly beautiful blog run by Linda Lomelino and is my all time favourite food blog. The styling and photography is absolutely stunning and leaves you with your chin to your knees! She's put together a book called Lomelino's Tartor with the only problem being that it's written all in swedish. Hopefully it wont be to long before they put out an english version. I've included the link to her blog below aswell as the recipe for this delectable looking cake.
Swiss Meringue Frosting
Makes enough to frost a 15cm or 20cm cake. Add 225gms
of butter to make Swiss meringue buttercream.
5 large egg whites
200gms sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
Put egg whites and sugar in a heat-proof bowl in a double
boiler. The water in the saucepan should be simmering. Whisk
with a hand whisk continously until the mixture reaches 65
degrees C. Remove from heat. Start whipping the egg whites
with a stand or hand mixer until they become fluffy and white
and the bowl is cool, this can take about 10 minutes.
Vanilla Cake
Makes five 15cm, or four 20cm layers.
This recipe is adapted from Sweetapolita.
1/2 cup (113gms) butter
2 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
1 ttsp salt
3tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups ice water
1 tsp vanilla
4 egg whites beaten stiff
Add sugar to the butter and beat until light. Sift dry
ingredients and add alternately with ice water and flavourings,
beating thoroughly after each addition. Fold in the beaten
egg whites. Pour into greased layer pans and bake at 350
degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 30 minutes.
Yummy!
