Eton Mess Cake
Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 300 g Stork/Unsalted Butter
- 300 g Caster Sugar
- 300 g Self Raising Flour
- 6 Medium Eggs
- 300 g Strawberries (Quartered/Halved)
Decoration
- 450 ml Double Cream
- 75 g Icing Sugar
- 2-4 tbsp Strawberry Jam
- 6 Meringue Nests
- Fresh Strawberries
- Freeze Dried Strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180/160C Fan, and line three 20 cm/8" Cake Tins with parchment paper.
- Add the Butter, Sugar, Self Raising Flour, and Eggs into a bowl, and beat together till smooth.
- I use my Kitchenaid with the Paddle Attachment, and it takes about 30 seconds or so. Once smooth, split between your three tins evenly.
- Add your strawberries to the tops of the cakes. If they're smaller strawberries I halve them, if they're larger I quarter them. Simply plop them on top.
- Once ready, put the cakes into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The Strawberries create more moisture, and make it take a little longer to bake, so keep an eye on it after 20 minutes.
- Once baked, leave to cool in the tin for about 30 minutes, then remove carefully and finish cooling on a wire rack.
- Once cool, whip up your double cream with the icing sugar.
- Spread a tablespoon or two of jam onto your first sponge, and crush over some meringue.
- Spoon on 1/3 of the whipped cream, and spread. Add the second sponge and repeat.
- On the third sponge, slather on the cream or pipe it, and add a fresh strawberry for each future slice. Sprinkle over some crushed meringue, and a sprinkle of Freeze Dried Strawberries.

Joke - Hey Jim!
A lady walks into a pet store.
She sees a beautiful parrot with a sign on its cage: $10 OBO
The lady asks the pet shop owner, “Why so cheap?”
The owner says “This bird used to live in a brothel, so he says a lot of inappropriate things.”
The lady can’t pass up the deal and decides to get the bird anyway.
She gets the bird home and the first thing the bird says is “Finally cleaned up this dump, and the new madam isn’t bad looking.”
The lady finds it amusing.
Her two teen daughters get home and the bird says “New whores in the house, business will be booming tonight.”
The girls are shocked but laugh it off.
A few hours later the woman’s husband gets home and the bird says “Hey Jim.”
