Delectables with Dan: Let's Get FRESH 🥗🍎🍓🥗🍎🍓 🥗 // Phil-Food Cake

Hey, Guys! 

And welcome back to another Delectables with Dan!
Tonight we went all natural and brought you a dish packed with flavour, antioxidants and tonnes of vitamins, minerals and protein! Who'd have thought that something so healthy would taste to ace? 

This blog isn't going to be the usual image step by step process. I just made a collage for this blog to try something new. If I like it, I'll probably re-use it for smaller episodes of Delectables with Dan!

Step 1: Pre-Heat oven to 190  (375) and make sure that it's to temperature before you put your chicken in.
For the chicken, you'll need to make sure that any excess fat is trimmed and it needs to be a boneless skinless breast. Sprinkle a little bit of regular bread crumbs on top of the chicken. It helps add a little colour and absorb any unwanted moister. The chicken inside will be moist and tender, just what you want! Put your chicken in to cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. (It really depends on your oven. But chicken should be a nice golden colour when you pull it out.)
Step 2: While your chicken is cooking, wash some spinach and put it into a medium-large bowl. (I used a medium bowl, but I think a large would work better for this.) Wash some fresh raspberries and set them to the side. Next cut a peach in half and then slice one-half of the peach, then cut into chunks and add to the spinach in the bowl. Repeat the same process with a small apple. Add in the raspberries to the spinach and fruit inside your bowl.

Step 3: Let chicken cool 10-15 minutes before slicing into even thick strips (as shown above) and then cube the strips. Add to the spinach and fruit inside the bowl. And that's it! Simple, healthy and delicious. You can add a sweet dressing if you wish, but I don't bother with that shite, so it's all natural flavour here!

Where would we be without a little bit of naughty?
Some of you know it as Angel Food Cake, but I call it Phil-Food Cake, as he's rather angelic. So, before I head off into the sunset to finish a few levels on Spyro, I present the Phil-Food Cake! I used a regular boxed cake mix that I bought off Amazon (Yes, I do quite a bit of my grocery shopping on there. I get to avoid people and buy other random shit at the same time!) but there are a few tricks I used to make mine nice and extra light and extra fluffy.

Step 1: First you're going to preheat your oven to 190 (375). It's gotta be nice and hot when you stick it in. Think of it as foreplay. You're gonna need some foreplay with this Phil. ;) Foreplay is my favourite kind of play...put in some cupcake/muffin liners into a non-greased muffin tray.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl pour in the dry mixture and slowly add your water. Give it a good stir with a rubber scraper before using an electric mixer to mix the mixture and the liquid together and pump it full of air. I start out on medium and after one minute, turn it to it's highest setting and mix for 3 minutes. I give it a nice stir with the rubber scraper before doling it out into the angel-food cake pan. Make sure that it's evenly placed around the centre cone. DO NOT PRESS THE MIXTURE DOWN. You want it to remain fluffy in the NON-GREASED pan. You'll bake from 30-15 minutes. The cracks in the top of the pan and the breaks of colour you'll see on the sides of the cake are normal. YOU WANT THOSE TO HAPPEN!
Step 3: Set to cool for several hours upside down before attempting to remove the cake. I just sliced it and served it plain like it is in the photo, but it's nice with a lemon drizzle or a raspberry drizzle. I've heard good things about a blueberry drizzle but I've not done that one myself.

There you have it! A nice, healthy dinner with a sweet little finisher. Great to welcome spring to your home and bring a little bit of freshness to your life! As summer is coming up, I'm thinking about doing this mix as cupcakes and topping it with some vanilla whip and some fresh berries! That will be squeezed in after Playlist Live and getting fresh ink in June.  

Catch you guys later! :)
