Bob and I seem to have started a wee tradition of baking a cake for our nearest and dearest when they celebrate a birthday. Bob’s Mum turned 21 (allegedly!) yesterday and I made this:
It’s just a sponge with 4 tablespoons of homemade lemon curd added to the batter. Once baked, I whipped 150ml double cream with another few tablespoons of the lemon curd and sandwiched the cake with it before dredging the surface with icing sugar. It was really refreshing, not overpoweringly lemony but just nice on a hot summer afternoon

Yum. Don’t you just envy that reverse age calculation that some people seem to have learned. I think I missed that day of school.
I wish I lived near you, then I could do quality control and taste your baking!!
YUM!
It’s Dave’s birthday tomorrow, and he is getting a gigantic fruit cake. It is practice for people in his work to take their cake into work, and it seems to be the only one that will hold up to the 30 mins of walking and the heat!
