My post about enjoying a\u00a0Bad Boys Bakery cake from Caffe Nero in Brixton<\/strong><\/a> ended up attracting thousands of page views, and I received quite a few emails from folks asking about availability (it seems I was lucky enough to sample an early trial batch).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The good news is that the cakes are back in stock – straight from Brixton Prison – and the even better news is that they are just as delicious as the first time around.<\/p>\n

I spoke to staff at Caffe Nero and they said that the cakes had proved hugely popular with customers – so get in there quick before they go!<\/p>\n

Here’s what Caffe Nero have to say about the cakes on\u00a0their\u00a0website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We are proud to be supporting the Bad Boys\u2019 Bakery prison work scheme pilot at HMP Brixton. Having been approached by Gordon Ramsay and presented with the product we found it to be of excellent quality, and most importantly, delicious!<\/p>\n

You can find the Lemon Treacle Slices in 11 of our stores closest to the Prison (Brixton, Wandsworth, Battersea and Clapham area) whilst stocks last.<\/p>\n

The trial has been going well; good sales, positive customer feedback and the consistent quality levels all indicate a real chance for the pilot scheme, and we wish the Bad Boys\u2019 Bakery every success in establishing itself as a self-sustaining social enterprise.<\/p>\n

Store list:
\nClapham Junction, Clapham High St, Balham, Wandsworth Southside, Earlsfield, Battersea Rise, Brixton Morleys, Tooting, Lavender Hill, Streatham High St and Bellevue Road.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bake your own!<\/strong>
\nThe company have also helpfully published the recipe for the cakes. Read on and have a go!<\/p>\n

\n

Base<\/h3>\n

300g digestive biscuits
\n150g butter<\/p>\n

Topping<\/h3>\n

1 tbsp lemon curd
\n675g golden syrup
\n90g butter
\n100ml double cream
\n225g white breadcrumbs
\n5 egg yolks
\nZest and juice of 1 lemon<\/p>\n

Glaze<\/h3>\n

A little icing sugar
\nA little lemon juice<\/p>\n

To make the base<\/h3>\n

Pre heat the oven to 160c.
\nPlace the biscuits in a food processor and blend until you have a smooth crumb.<\/p>\n

Melt the butter, then stir into the biscuits. Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of a 20cm square tin which has been lined with baking parchment.
\nAllow to chill.<\/p>\n

To make the topping<\/h3>\n

Place the golden syrup into a saucepan along with the butter and allow to melt GENTLY. You do not want this to boil.<\/p>\n

Once the butter has melted take the pan off the heat and stir in the cream, breadcrumbs, egg yolks, lemon zest and juice. Stir well.<\/p>\n

Once the base has cooled, spread the lemon curd onto the base. Pour over the breadcrumb filling and then place into the oven to cook for 25-30 minutes or until firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting.<\/p>\n

To glaze<\/h3>\n

Mix together a little icing sugar and lemon juice until you have a thick paste. Place it into a piping bag and pipe over the top of your slices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
