Cardamom Rose Cake with OrangeDrizzle by Karen of Lavender and Lovage. Her Orange and Passion Fruit Cupcakes have a light fruity and refreshing taste to them, and the inspiration for the cakes came to her during a recent shopping trip to a local farm shop, when Angela spotted some home-made curds, and as soon as she saw the jar of passion fruit and orange, she knew I wanted to use in these little cakes
My friend Beth made this delicious Chocolate & Chestnut Yule Log using a DeliaSmith recipe. But then I was invited to the Christmas meeting for my local Clandestine Cake Club, and I decided to make a cake instead
(adapted from DeliaSmith’s How to Cook. Just before serving, spread the top of the cake with the Greek yoghurt, sprinkle over the pistachios, drizzle with the honey
So, when I realised that March is the not only the month of white rabbits, but the month of DeliaSmith on ‘Cook like a star’ hosted by Zoe at Bake for Happy Kids, Baby Sumo at Eat your Heart Out and Mich at Piece of Cake I had to start with cake and as it’s a month nearer to what should be the start of some warmer weather (one of these years, I will be right…) I chose something Greek, and who knows, if I wish really hard and my punt on the Euromillions this evening comes off, then tomorrow I might be eating something similar sat outside some taverna somewhere *crosses fingers*
