Cat & Kittens
THEME RECIPE
|
 |
Cat & Kittens Lamingtons. If you like and enjoy Coconut this is the recipe for you, to me this is the most incredible recipe around the globe try it and see if you agree Note: This is an Australian recipe, so it's in metric measure (measure
by weight instead of volume). For all common purposes, a metric ounce is
equivalent to a US ounce. However, I'd still recommend using a conversion
table.
1 butter cake or slab sponge (made the day before)
500 g (1 lb) packet icing sugar
4 level tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups desiccated coconut
Place the cake in the refrigerator or freezer for about 1/2 hour or so
before icing. Cut into squares. Sift icing sugar and cocoa together.
Make into a smooth icing with boiling water, butter and vanilla. Pierce
squares of cake with a fork and dip into chocolate icing for a few seconds,
then toss into the coconut. If the icing becomes a little thick, heat
over hot water or add a drop or two extra hot water to the icing. Best if
allowed to mature in a sealed container for several hours before serving.
Lamington Butter Cake
125 g (4 oz) butter
3/4 cup castor sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup milk
Line a greased Lamington tin with greaseproof paper. Cream butter, sugar
and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Fold
in flour and milk alternately and beat well. Spread into prepared tin.
Bake in a moderate oven for 30-35 minutes. Allow to stand for a few minutes,
then turn out onto a cooler (a rack?).
Few things evoke home and hearth as soulfully as a piece of Cat & Kittens Lamingtons, its more flavourful than any other try it, enjoy!!
Lamington Sponge
3 eggs, separated
1/2 cup castor sugar
1 cup self-rising flour
1 level tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch)
1 teaspoon butter
3 tablespoons boiling water
Line a lamington tin with greaseproof paper. Beat egg whites until stiff,
then gradually beat in sugar. Fold in yolks, then add sifted flour and
cornflour. Dissolve butter in boiling water and fold through. Pour into
the prepared tin and bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Allow to
stand for a few minutes, then turn out onto a cooler.
Note: A Lamington tin measures 28 x 20 cm (11 x 8 inches) and 3 cm (1 1/2
inches) deep.

Cat & Kittens MENU IDEAS |
|
Since the days of ancient Egypt, cats have been at man’s side. In fact more and more people are throwing Cat parties to celebrate milestones in their feline friend’s life. At such a party, fresh fish and milk should certainly be served to the guest of honor. But what to serve the human guests? How about a kitty cat menu?
Of course, your Animal party menu won’t actually be serving up any felines. Instead use items with cat themed names. To drink, serve your guests Kitty Cola. As an appetizer, goldfish crackers keep the theme purring along. For the main course, serve up freshly grilled tuna steaks. To finish off your cat menu, create or purchase a cat cake. With the popularity of cartoons such as Sylvester and Heathcliff, this is a relatively popular design and should be available at many bakeries or specialty baking stores.
When cooking up your kitten friendly tuna steaks, a few tips will help to keep this delicacy of the sea moist, tender and flavorful. Marinate steaks ahead of time in a shallow 9 X 13 inch glass dish. Add 1 cup soy sauce, ½ cup lemon juice, 2 cloves crushed garlic, 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Allow steaks to marinate for 30 minutes prior to grilling. Just prior to placing steaks on your hot grill, oil the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill steaks for no more than 4 minutes per side for 1-inche tuna steaks.
With the popularity of kittens, it’s no wonder more and more people want to celebrate with their finicky felines. A cat menu at your next party will help everyone feel involved, feline and human alike. By just adding even one simple food item to the menu will help create
a complete Cat & Kittens theme party feeling. |
