Avery’s Layer Cake
(serves 9)
1 1/4 sticks butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, separated
2 cups flour
1 cup milk
2 tsps baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Cream butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl at low speed, then add egg yolks, beat more, add milk, beat more. In another bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt, then stir into batter. Beat egg whites till stiff and fold into batter. Pour into two non-stick sprayed layer cake pans and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes, or until they spring back from sides and a fork dipped in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly, then place one layer on a large plate and smear with jam. Put second layer on top and put jam all over the top and sides. Serve warm!

(serves 4 with soup leftovers)
1 large chicken, spatchcocked
3 tbsps butter
1 large white onion, quartered
5 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tbsps olive oil
sea salt and pepper
In a large baking dish lined with foil, place the chicken, rubbed all over with the butter, breast DOWN. Trust me, the breast will not dry out, even if the finished product is less than elegant-looking. Spatchcocking means, of course, simply removing the backbone and flattening the chicken.
Scatter the onion and garlic all round, then sprinkle everything with olive oil and salt and pepper.
Place in a slow oven, 120C, 240F. You should also place in the same oven a foil-wrapped package of small whole beets, or parsnips, or butternut squash. Anything of a root vegetable nature will take to this method of cooking.
Come home three hours later to… dinner. I promise.
