Here is how I made my CAEK!
For those of you who want to make it, this is how.
Ingredients
CAEK
350g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
350g golden castor sugar
45ml Poppy Seeds
20ml finely grated lemon rind
70g Decent lemon curd
6 eggs, separated
120ml semi-skimmed milk
350g self-raising flour
Icing sugar to decorate
Filling
150g Decent Lemon Curd
150ml Double cream, whipped
How to maek CAEK
Chose CD (I went with Appetite for destruction, but anything you like will do)
Put CD into CD player
Start to play CD
Preheat oven to 180C
Butter and lightly flour two 23cm spring-form CAEK tins
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Add the poppy seeds, lemon rind, lemon curd and egg yolks and beat well
Add milk and mix in
Fold in the flour until combined
Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks (use an electric hand-held jobbie, or at least one like in my pic - doing it with a normal hand-whisk takes ages)
Fold egg whites into CAEK mixture until combined
Divide mixture between the two tins and bake for about 45 mins (should be dark golden brown when done, and a skewer into the middle should come out clean)
CD ends, chose new CD.
Leave CAEKs to cool in tins for 5 mins, then remove and leave to cool completely on a wire rack
Spread the lemon curd onto the CAEK, and spoon the whipped cream on top of that
Gently push second CAEK on top, dust with Icing sugar (if you can be bothered)
EAT CAEK
