Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

butter , for greasing
1 tbsp golden caster sugar , plus extra for dusting
4 medium egg whites
150ml ready-made custard
85g fruitcake , Christmas cake or pudding, finely crumbled
caramel sauce , to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and put in a baking tray to heat up. Grease 4 x 150ml ramekins, then add some sugar to each and shake to coat before tipping out the excess.
  • Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add the sugar and continue whisking until stiff again. In a big mixing bowl, stir together the custard and crumbled cake. Stir in a quarter of the egg whites, and very gently fold in the rest using a big metal spoon until the mixture isn't too streaky.
  • Divide the mixture between the ramekins, running your finger around the top inside of each to leave a 'gap' between the mixture and the ramekin just at the very top. Bake for 12-15 mins until risen and golden. Meanwhile, warm the caramel sauce.
  • Serve the hot soufflés immediately, with jugs of warm caramel sauce for people to pour into theirs.

CHRISTMAS CAKE



Christmas Cake image

This cake is a rich, dark, moist fruit cake, very flavorful at Christmas. Try icing with almond paste for a more festive touch. This recipe is started in October or November so as to let it mellow before the holidays. I remember very well my mother storing her fruit cake in an old butter churn that belonged to my grandmother and great grandmother. I wish that I had that old crock.
