MARMALADE PUDDING Makes 8 servings Recipe by Edd Kimber This is about as traditional as it gets when it comes to old-school British puddings. Traditionally, this would be steamed, but I prefer baked because it is quicker and, frankly, less fiddly to make. The real twist in this pudding is the addition of Earl Grey tea, which, for me, makes this dessert reminiscent of breakfast—toast with lashings of butter and marmalade served alongside a mug of Earl Grey. 1 teaspoon (2 grams) loose Earl Grey tea, leaves ground to a powderScant ¼ cup (60 grams) whole milk¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons (198 grams) unsalted butter1 cup (200 grams) castor sugar6 tablespoons (18 grams) lemon zest3 large eggs (150 grams)2 cups (250 grams) self-raising flour/superfine cake flour*1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking…

1. INVEST IN A DECORATING TURNTABLE. Spinning your cake makes it easier to cut layers, apply a crumb coat, or smooth frosting. One of our favorite turntables is Ateco’s 12-inch Revolving Cake Stand, because it fits most cakes and has a durable cast-iron base. Available at atecousa.com. 2. LET CAKE LAYERS COOL COMPLETELY. Never frost or fill a warm cake unless the recipe specifies otherwise. After your cake layers have cooled, wrap them in plastic wrap, and freeze them. Chilled layers are easier to work with. 3. HEAT YOUR DECORATING TOOLS. Run hot water over your tools, and wipe off excess moisture before smoothing or swirling frosting. This makes frosting more malleable. 4. APPLY A CRUMB COAT. This prevents crumbs from appearing in the final coat of frosting. Fill a piping bag with frosting,…
