Provided by Elena Silcock

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Yield Serves 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 11

250g digestive biscuits
100g butter , melted
600g cream cheese
100g icing sugar
zest and juice of 1 lime , plus extra zest to serve
50ml gin
280ml double cream
250ml can gin and tonic
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 lemon , half juiced, half finely sliced
2 medium meringues , crushed

Steps:

  • Butter and line a 23cm loose-bottomed tin with baking parchment. Put the digestive biscuits in a plastic food bag and crush to crumbs using a rolling pin, or blitz in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl, then pour over the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated. Tip them into the prepared tin and press firmly down into the base to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge for 1 hr to set firmly.
  • To make the filling, place the cream cheese, icing sugar and lime zest in a bowl, then beat with an electric whisk until smooth. Tip in the gin and double cream, and continue beating until the mixture is thick and completely combined. Now spoon it onto the biscuit base, and spread to the edges. Smooth the top of the cheesecake down with the back of a dessert spoon or spatula. Leave to set in the fridge overnight.
  • Pour the can of gin and tonic into a pan, add the caster sugar and lemon juice and boil hard. Once it has reduced to a syrup (about 3-4 minutes over high heat), cool a little, then add the lime juice and the slices of lemon and toss in the syrup. Allow to cool completely.
  • To serve, place the base of the cheesecake on top of a can, then gradually pull the sides of the tin down. Slip the cake onto a serving plate, removing the lining paper and base. Top with a handful of the crushed meringues, then drizzle with the syrup, scattering the lemon slices on top as you go. Add a final dusting of lime zest, slice and serve.

GIN & TONIC CAKE RECIPE - BBC GOOD FOOD



Gin & tonic cake recipe - BBC Good Food image

Fan of gin & tonic? What could be better than your favourite tipple in cake form? A fabulous showstopper for afternoon tea or a summer celebration

Provided by Elena Silcock

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Total Time 1 hours 45 minutes

Prep Time 1 hours

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 18

250g salted butter
325g golden caster sugar
4 eggs
250g self-raising flour
75g natural yogurt
2 large limes, juice only
75ml gin
150ml tonic water
1 tsp juniper berries, lightly crushed
200g softened butter
400g icing sugar
2 tbsp milk
zest of 3 limes (using up those you've juiced, above)
2 limes, zested then 1 cut into thin wedges to decorate
1 tbsp granulated sugar
lemon sherbets
¼ cucumber, peeled into ribbons
party straws

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4. Greese and line 2 x 20cm cake tins. In a freestanding electric mixer, or using an electric whisk, beat together the butter and 200g of the sugar until pale and fluffy, for around 5 mins. Add the eggs one by one, making sure they are fully incorporated before adding the next one. If the mixture looks like it might split, add a tablespoon of your flour, then fold in the rest of the flour. Mix the natural yogurt with the juice of one of the limes and 50ml of the gin, then add this to the cake mixture to make a thick and silky mixture. Split the mixture between the cake tins and bake for 35 mins until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, make the syrup. Put the remaining sugar, tonic water, juniper berries and juice of one lime into a saucepan over medium heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, bring to the boil and cook for 5-7 mins, until it’s a thick syrup. Cool for 5 mins, strain then pour in the remaining gin and set aside.
  • Once the cake is out of the oven, allow to cool for 5 mins, then prick all over with a skewer, then liberally spoon the syrup mix over both of the cakes. Allow to cool completely in the tin.
  • To make the buttercream, beat the butter until soft, then add the icing sugar, a little at a time to avoid a sugar cloud! Once fully incorporated, add the milk and the zest of the limes.
  • To assemble, place one of the cake layers on a cake board, cover with 1/3 of the buttercream then sit the second cake layer on top. Cover this, too, in just a thin coat of icing then put the cake in the fridge for 30 mins to firm up – this will make it easier to get the rest of the icing on smoothly. Use the remaining buttercream to cover the top and sides of the cake.
  • To decorate, mix the lime zest with the sugar. Sprinkle this over the cake and finish with lemon sherbets, lime slices, cucumber ribbons, party straws and any other gin & tonic paraphernalia you fancy.
