Ingredients

  • 500 g Tenderstem broccoli
  • Ice-cold water
  • 500 g unsalted butter
  • 110 g caster sugar

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Blanch tenderstem broccoli in water, cool in ice-cold water then strain. Set aside.
Beat butter, until light and creamy. Add caster sugar and combine.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
