Peter Sawkins’ Victoria sponge with lemon curd concept sounds tasty, and Queen Elizabeth apparently does get pleasure from a very good lemon dessert. Based on former Royal Chef Darren McGrady (through YouTube), a extremely fashionable palace deal with throughout his tenure was the lemon posset, which mixes sugar, cream, and almond cookies. However she would not go for a lemon-based birthday dessert. We have realized a bit about what the queen eats. She’s keen on darkish chocolate, and a few of her favourite desserts are chocolate-based, so it is no shock that she additionally loves chocolate cake for her birthday.
McGrady shared a YouTube video in regards to the chocolate cake that he would make twice a 12 months. This was a recipe handed down from the monarch’s grandmother, so it seems to be like a love for chocolate runs within the royal household. The bottom of the cake is a chocolate genoise sponge cake and inside are layers of chocolate ganache, then chocolate is poured over the cake.
