Official Peamutt Butter Taster Announced

Posted on by Sally Addenbrook

We’re pleased to announce that after months of receiving entries on Instagram and twitter from wannabe tasters and thousands of votes, likes and retweets, six-year-old Hamish from Mansfield, Nottingham has been crowned the official Peamutt Butter taster!

As well as helping to tail-or the recipe, Hamish can look forward to being the furry face of Peamutt Butter – featuring extensively on Instagram and twitter and receiving a year’s supply of the nutty treat.

Hamish’s owner, Corinne Peat said: “Hamish is wagging his tail with joy to be the official Peamutt Butter taster and can’t wait to get to work! Peamutt Butter is his favourite treat so he is more than willing to put in the overtime to get the recipe absolutely perfect!”

Richard Duerr, sales and marketing director for Peamutt Butter maker Duerr’s, says: “We’ve been blown away by all the entries we received. Hamish faced some tough competition but we think that he’s is definitely the dog for us and we’re looking forward to getting his expert opinion.”

National Sponge Cake Day

Happy National Sponge Cake Day…we don’t know about you but we’ll be making this oh so tasty marmalade cake (recipe from www.bakingmad.com). What will you be baking?

Ingredients

For the cake
225g Butter (unsalted)
225g Unrefined golden caster sugar
4 Eggs (beaten)
3 tbsp Water (warm)
1pinch Salt
225g Self-raising white flour

For the filling and icing
150g Butter (softened)
300g Icing sugar (sieved)
2 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tsp Orange peel (finely grated )
4 tbsp Duerr’s Sunny Seville Fine Cut Marmalade

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C, gas mark 5). Prepare two 20cm cake tins by greasing and lining with baking paper.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until you get a creamy consistency. Add the beaten eggs one at a time, followed by the warm water and a pinch of salt.

Mix the flour and beat well. Pour half the mixture into each tin or mould and bake in the centre of the oven for about twenty five minutes or until golden and risen.

Turn the sponges out of the tins and leave to cool completely on a wire rack. For best results, remove the baking paper a few minutes after the cake has cooled.

Cream together the butter and icing sugar until you get a soft but not runny consistency, adding two or three drops of vanillla extract.

Sandwich the sponge halves together with a layer of marmalade and a thin layer of the buttercream. Spread the buttercream thickly on top of the cake and sprinkle with the finely grated orange peel.
