So when the time came today, I opened the recipe book, A Treasury of New Zealand Baking, at a random page. This weeks cake is Coffee, Walnut and Date Cake. This is a superb cake, moist and rich, perfumed with coffee and studded with walnuts, and offset nicely with a lemon icing.
( I actually quoted that little description from the book! ha ha)
I reckon you should pop in this week and have a taste of this one.....
Next week my youngest cherub returns from his english adventure and he has booked his welcome home cake already! Watch this space.....
what i can't understand is how your daughter is so thin! although she does do a lot of exercise and often refuses morning or afternoon tea... so i suppose it's not that tricky to work out. particularly if you've got coffee, walnut and date cake to go home to. sigh. i really want some. i might have to google the recipe.

Right! from now on she will be sent off to work with slices of the weeks cake in hand for you!
ReplyDeleteBecause the recipient of this weeks cake is stuck in the UK because of ash in the air, then I will have to cook cake B (plan B). You can be my official taster! Enjoy.
