– Paradise Cake This is an easy to prepare recipe as it is based on shortcrust pastry which you can obtain from the supermarket (unless you want to make your own). Ingredients: 8 oz shortcrust pastry Raspberry jam 4 oz margarine 4 oz caster sugar (4 rounded tablespoons granulated sugar)
The first written Paradise Cake recipe dates back to 1878. That year a famous Pastry Chef from Pavia (Lombardy region) shared his recipe making it spread all over Italy. You can still visit his Pastry Shop named “Pasticceria Vigoni” downtown on Pavia and taste this incredible cake.
Spoon the mixture onto the jam-covered pastry bake and spread around to an even finish, from edge-to-edge. Bake for 30 minutes in your pre-heated oven. Once baked, sprinkle the Paradise Slice with some sugar and allow to cool in the tin. Once cool, remove and cut into your desired size.
Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and use it to line a greased 11 inch by 7 inch baking tin. Bake this initially on its own in a pre-heated oven for ten minutes at 350F/175C/Gas Mark 4. Cream the margarine and sugar together and stir in a beaten egg, cherries, walnuts and almonds. Add the vanilla essence/extract and mix well.
