I would recommend using fresh fruit for this cake as frozen berries will not look as nice and will thaw/leak in a weird way onto the cream. If you are worried, decorate the cake somewhat last minute before serving, but it does last a couple of days in the fridge. Sugar – I used caster sugar as I wanted the colour and flavour to stay light, but you an swap it to light brown soft sugar if you want a more caramel flavour naturally. If you wanted a chocolate based cake, use my chocolate school cake as a base sponge. Or you can even jazz it up slightly and use my gin & tonic traybake– or even my chocolate orange traybake cake. Like my coronation cake though, you can use whipped cream if you prefer, but I wanted to make a slightly different recipe this time. You can of course make the frosting whatever flavour you prefer – vanilla, orange, almond, chocolate, etc. Sainsbury’s said 71% of shoppers are planning to gather with family and friends to celebrate the coronation, with afternoon tea coming out on top of the list of activities by those surveyed. To help with the celebrations, Sainsbury’s has unveiled a ‘right royal range’ of bakery items.
As I wanted this to be slightly different to the other traybake recipes on my blog already, and I really wanted to make something light and delicious, I used whipped cream. This consists of double cream, icing sugar and a little vanilla to flavour the cream, whipped to peaks and then spread and piped on. Last time I posted my coronation cake which is light, fruity and a traybake – and I adore it. However, I thought I would post a more bite size cake that would be cute for a table spread, and easier to serve! These mini lemon loaf cakes are ideal. Beat the butter for a few seconds in a large mixing bowl to soften it, then add the caster sugar. Beat well until light and fluffy, using a hand-held electric mixer or wooden spoon. Add and beat the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Strawberries made the main cross of the flag, with the raspberries doing the other part. I then used blueberries to fill in the rest of the flag on top of the cream – and look at how pretty it its! This cake is best served fresh on the day because of the fruit and cream, but can last 1-2 days in the fridge if needed!

For the frosting, to fit the lemon theme a bit more, I did a lemon buttercream frosting. I love a light lemon buttercream, and when you make a super whipped buttercream frosting it is glorious. Asda has royally waved at the public festivities with a raft of offerings from its bakery department.
