Ingredients

  • 500 g Tenderstem broccoli
  • Ice-cold water
  • 500 g unsalted butter

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Blanch tenderstem broccoli in water, cool in ice-cold water then strain. Set aside.
Beat butter, until light and creamy. Add caster sugar and combine.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, combine baking powder, turmeric, a pinch of smoked paprika, curry powder and salt. Add to the sifted cake flour.
