Chocolate sponge Mk II

Same ingredients as before but with 40g cocoa sifted into the flour and the whites whisked and folded in at the end.

So, separate the eggs, whisk the whites and put in a bowl
Put the butter in the Kenwood Cooking Chef, set to 40°C, beat. Beat the eggs in a cup and add an espresso. Add to the mix, turn off the heat.
Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and cocoa into a big jug, stir and add to the mix. Finally fold in the egg whites.
1/3 fill the cake tin, grate on chocolate, another 1/3, more grated chocolate and then the rest of the mix. Wrap newspaper around the tin and bake for 40 minutes, remove the paper and bake till done

 and it ends up like this

The newspaper trick is to slow down the heat into the sides so the middle cooks properly. The kitchen stinks of printers ink but it doesn't go into the cake, next time I'll use clean stuff or a wet towel

We went to Nuffield Place

which is Lord Nuffield's rather unassuming country house next to Huntercombe prison in Oxfordshire.

Elegant basin, sh1t chair.

No tiger skin on the wall but

there is an electric exercise horse

Worst lighting in the world, flash not allowed so get used to some dodgy colour casts as well as some dodgy captions

Posh thing at the top of the stairs

It's an early sunlamp, William Morris introduced them into the factories to top up the workers' vitamin D levels during the winter. He was also one of the first to heat factories.

And a Flit gun for spraying that wonderful DDT

Another dodgy looking lamp

Barograph

The great man's toolshed in a wardrobe

and the great man's pickled appendix 'twixt ink bottle and mallet

Looks like Adolf Hitler on the left and Jeremy Thorpe on the right

 

Either another sunlamp or else a wife disposal device

 

Massive double bedroom with an oriental theme

And it plays very well

Couldn't resist 

He did like his longcase clocks

And I liked those window frames

and this

The End
