Hey ladies, since having LO I've developed a bit of an interest in cooking and baking (god knows why as I used to hate it) so wondered if anybody had any good recipes they'd like to share?

This week I've had my first successful baking attempt, Chocolate Fudge Cake yum yum

This is my favourite recipe

Ladies' Caprice

For the dough:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 ounces cold sweet butter (1 stick plus about 1 tablespoon)
1/4 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon cream

For the filling:
Black raspberry jam (8 or more ounces)
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup finely chopped walnuts

In a food processor, combine the flour, salt and sweet butter (cut into chunks). Process until the butter is broken up into small pieces. Add the sugar, egg yolks (reserve the whites for the tart filling) and cream. Continue to process until the mixture begins to come together. Form it into a ball with your hands.
Grease a tart pan with a removable bottom. Flatten the ball of dough and press it evenly into the tart pan, using the heel of your hands, work the dough slowly to extend it to the edges and up the sides of the tart pan. Prick all around with a fork and bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. Let cool completely.

Spread the black raspberry jam along the bottom of the cooled tart shell.

Make the filling:
Using an electric beater, beat the 2 egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla extract. Use a silicone spatula to fold in one cup of finely chopped walnuts.
Spread this mixture on top of the raspberry jam in your tart shell.
Bake once again at 350 degrees, for about 40-45 minutes.
Let cool before serving.
This will keep well overnight if you want to make it one day before serving, and will keep for several days.

*You can skip the nuts if you like. Also you can pick any jam you like. I like it with Apricot jam. It's just a matter of taste really.
