Birthday Week

What a lovely week that was.

The inevitable happened and I turned another year older and with that came the celebrating. I was showered with beautiful gifts and many of them had a baking theme. I was given a great book called 'Cakes', a selection from the Australian Womans Weekly that have been triple tested for 'your success every time.' Along with a gorgeous bundt cake pan and 4 miniture bottles of Piper Heidseick complete with sipping straws! So this weekend I made a cake in the bundt pan from the new recipe book.......Passionfruit Buttermilk Cake.

As you can see from the photo above, it turned out superbly. The taste is exquisite, so light and soft to eat. The recipe required to add three eggs, yolks first, then fold in the whipped egg whites, thus resulting in a very light texture.

I found this cake to be delicious, especially when accompanied by a chilled glass of bubbles.

So if you are passing, make a point of popping in and having a taste.

(Better make is snappy as the Piper has been known to evaporate!)
