GloTime.tv are proud supporters of GOSH
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. Registered charity no. 1160024
Bake it Better Week: 22-28 May 2017
Tess Daly is encouraging novice cooks and patisserie pros alike to support children cared for at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) by hosting a ‘Bake it Better’ bake sale between 22-28 May.
Tess is supporting Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity to inspire budding bakers to create tempting treats to sell at home, in the office, at school or in their community, all to raise vital money for seriously ill children at GOSH. The former model and TV presenter is the charity’s first ‘Children’s Champion’, alongside her husband Vernon. The couple are longstanding supporters of the charity and Bake it Better is the latest fundraising campaign Tess has added some sparkle to.
Tess says: “I really enjoy spending time baking at home with my girls, and I promise that you don’t have to be an expert to whip up some tasty treats to help raise vital funds for this incredible charity. Over the last ten years I’ve had the privilege of meeting many children and families who have been cared for at Great Ormond Street Hospital and have seen first-hand how your support really does help”
Tim Johnson, Chief Executive at Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, added: “We’re absolutely delighted that Tess is supporting our Bake it Better campaign. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a whizz in the kitchen or just starting out, you’ll be part of a team of bakers who are joining in the fun and raising money to improve the lives of children cared for at GOSH at the same time. So please grab your mixing bowls, round up your friends, family and workmates; you’re guaranteed to make a big difference to seriously ill children from across the UK.”
Everyone who holds a bake sale will receive a free fundraising kit from the charity jam-packed full of bunting, cake toppers, posters, stickers and top tips to ensure every bake sale is a sweet success.
Money raised by supporters holding bake sales will help Great Ormond Street Hospital to provide world-class care for young children and their families. It could fund pioneering medical research, state-of-the-art medical equipment, support services for children and their families which includes parent accommodation so mums and dads can stay close by, and help the rebuilding and refurbishment of the hospital.

Lisa Faulkner, Actress and Celebrity Chef gives you this wonderful recipe, all in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital, a moist Coconut Polenta Cake with Honey Syrup and Berries.
I made this cake up one spring day when I was meant to be writing this book. I always find the beginning of the writing process pretty hard and will find anything to do except sit at my laptop! I wanted to make a cake that could be served warm as a pudding as those are my favourite. This one also happens to be gluten free, though that wasn’t my intention when I made it. The cake is delicious and moist and the honey syrup with the berries really works. I have made this again and again for friends and family and, without fail, everyone loves it.
Serves 8-10
140g coconut oil
120ml maple syrup
4 medium eggs
200g ground almonds
100g polenta
2 tsp baking powder
Grated zest and juice of one lemon
2 tbsp milk (I use coconut)
125g runny honey
Few drops of orange blossom water (optional)
400g raspberries and blueberries
Crème fraiche or natural yoghurt, to serve (optional)
Method:
Heat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Grease and line a 23cm cake tin with baking parchment.
In a stand mixer or with an electric hand whisk, beat together the coconut oil and maple syrup, then whisk in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the almonds, polenta, baking powder, lemon zest and juice and the milk and pour into the prepared tin. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
When the cake has just come out of the oven, heat the honey and 60ml water in a pan until warmed through and just starting to simmer, then add a few drops of orange blossom water, if using. Skewer the cake so there are lots of holes in it, then pour the honey syrup all over it. Leave to cool in the tin.
Remove from the tin, top with the berries and a good dollop of creme fraiche or natural yoghurt if using, and serve.
Our thanks to Lisa and Great Ormond Street Hospital for this recipe
