Ingredients

  • 500 g Tenderstem broccoli
  • Ice-cold water
  • 500 g unsalted butter
  • 110 g caster sugar
  • 7 eggs
  • 6 g baking powder
  • 1 t turmeric

Method

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.
