CORNFLOUR BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to about 170 degrees Celcius.
• Beat vanilla, butter and both sugars well, add the egg and continue beating until nice and creamy.
• Mix in the corn flour and baking powder and slowly add the milk, mix gently until combined and then beat well again - I like to alternate between high speed and low speed.
• Pour into a cake tray and bake for approximately 40minutes or until when poked through the poker comes away clear with no residue.
• Serve warm, spreaded with butter :).

EASY ROASTED CORNISH HENS FOR EASTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 F.
• Spread out chopped vegetables and rosemary in the bottom of 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
• Rub olive oil lightly over the Cornish hens. Set aside.
• In a bowl, mix together spices and sprinkle generously over the hens, being sure to season the inside cavity as well. ( Want more flavor? See note)
• Place the hens on top of the bed of vegetables.
• Run your fingers under the skin to loosen it.
• Place a slice of butter under the skin of each hen.
• Tie the legs together with kitchen string or foil paper. (I like to sprinkle on more parsley at this point but that's optional)
• Bake for 50-60 minutes, depending on size of hens.
• Let hens rest for 15 minutes before eating.

• Preheat your oven to 425°F.
• In a roasting pan add the rosemary, thyme, garlic, onion, and half the lemon slices. Place the hens in the roasting pan over the herbs and onions and drizzle the olive oil over the hens.
• Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers at 165°F.
• Remove the hens from the oven and let them rest for 20 minutes. Garnish with additional thyme, lemon slices and rosemary and serve over mashed potatoes.
