New Year Tipsy Cake

New Year Tipsy Cake

A 'tipsy'cake seems quite appropriate for a New Year's celebration. I've filled and topped the cake with orange segments, but you can make this cake with various fruits. It's also very nice with red summer berries, if made in warmer months. Potato flour is available from health food shops and good delicatessens. This recipe serves 8-10 people, says Mary.

I say: Let's party like it's 1999!


What do we need:

5 large eggs, 2 of them seperated
275 gr  caster sugar
 65 gr sifted self raising flour
 65 gr sifted potato flour (fecule)
or cornflour
grated rind of 1 lemon


For soaking the cake:

50 gr granulated sugar
3 tablespoons water
150 ml sweet white wine
1 tablespoon brandy

For the filling and decoration:

225 gr orange segments (peeled)

double cream, whipped
1 orange (hand ) thinly sliced,

Tip:
Take eggshell out with an eggshell if you have dropped one in.
