Getting my head around grounded theory is not straightforward and I find I need a little something to help me concentrate. The Pomodoro Technique of time management allows me a half hour break after four 25 minute work periods. Just long enough to make cake.
Pomodoro (really not procrastinating...) crumble cake
cake
180 grams butter
180 grams caster sugar
2 eggs
115 grams plain flour
150 grams ground almonds
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons of milk
crumble
100g cold butter
100g demerara sugar
100g plain flour
a sprinkling of nuts (almond flakes for the raspberry and chopped salted peanuts for the peanut butter and chocolate)
a couple of handfuls of something nice to go under the crumble layer - todays cakes are raspberry and peanut butter with chopped chocolate.
cake Beat butter and sugar until light, add eggs, beat and then add flour, almonds, vanilla and milk.
crumble pulse ingredients in food processor until rubble like in texture. Divide into two bowls and add almonds and peanuts.
Line two two pound loaf tins and divide the cake mix between them, layer on the something nice and top with crumble. Bake in 180 degree oven for 50 minutes to one hour.
Cool and eat with gallons of tea.
