A weekend in July

This weekend was to be Emma and Richard returning from their two weeks in Europe. And since I haven't seen them since 13 June, I was keen to bake for their homecoming. It was not to be as they were delayed in Singapore for 24 hours so arrival is now Monday morning 9.20am. (Fog descended on Christchurch at 8 am, closing the airport!!) As I write this, they are still not home! Due in soon though.
The cake of the week was made and has already been eaten as we just couldn't wait till they got here. ha ha
I made a Lemon Sour Cream Cake from the Waihi Cookbook. Lovely ingredients. Lemon meringue yogurt, sour cream (lite of course), a few eggs and lemons of course.
It was a very moist cake but lovely and light with a little yogurt on the side. Eaten after a beef casserole on mash with beans.
So, this morning I threw together some Tamarillo Friands from the same recipe book. If Emma doesn't hurry up and get here then they will be gone soon too.
