Read MoreBlood Orange Jelly Cakes
There’s something so iconic about a jelly cake - and my first Jelly cake experience brings me back to country Victoria and is symbolic of community and country kindness, and the depth of generosity that a heartfelt bake can bring.
My own version is adapted quite a bit from the original CWA (Country Women’s Association) version. These are red from home made blood orange jelly, with a soft orange scented vanilla sponge inside, a dot of vanilla chantilly cream and a good rolling of white coconut.

There is nothing quite like hot baked apples and pastry, just out of the oven and smothered in cream or ice-cream, or custard - it's all so delicious and wholesome.
What I love about galettes is how quick they are to prepare, how versatile they are ( you can so easily change the fruit to pears or berries for instance, add in some nuts, or alter the flavours), and how they can be as rustic or as fancy as you want and still look and taste delicious.
I've added an almond cream in this galette, a slight adaptation of a really great almond cream by Laduree which adds an extra degree of flavour and creamy lusciousness, whilst protecting the pastry from any moisture released by the fruit so that it remains crisp.

This decadent little cake appeared rather impulsively one Friday afternoon after a long day of work and still so much to do. It was a true 'procrastibake' - perfect for when you really need chocolate and plenty of it.

Whipped ganache inside and more ganache on top is also quite nice when chocolate and more chocolate is what you really want - and there never is really too much of that ..
