There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Hevva Cake - Untested


"Hevva cake, often called heavy cake, isn't heavy at all. It isn't a scone or a shortbread but it is both scone & shortbread adjacent. One constant about the cake is the diagonal scoring on top that symbolizes the fisherman's net."

350g flour
2 tsp baking powder
1tsp salt
150g room temp butter
100g sugar
250g dried fruit
4sp mixed spice (optional)
100ml milk
  1. Heat oven to 325°F. 
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, salt. 
  3. Rub in butter. 
  4. Stir in sugar, dried fruit, and mixed spice (optional).
  5. Add milk. Bring together into a sticky dough. Add more milk if needed. 
  6. Press into a brownie pan. Score the top with diagonal lines. 
  7. Bake for 35 minutes. 
  8. Sprinkle with sugar. Enjoy.
