Life is starting to feel a little normal as the aftershocks become less frequent and the clean up progresses around the city. Last weeks cake has been received very well by many. In fact, it has been requested by my No 1 cake taster as her cake of choice for her birthday this coming week.
September is a busy birthday month but not this weekend, so I was at a loss as to what to make. I asked my friend Kerry to choose a number between 10 and 232 (the number of recipe pages in the Treasury of Baking book) She chose 178 so here we are making a Plum and Cardamom Shortcake.
I have never made a shortcake before so it was fun to do. I never had plums and chose to use cherries instead. Cardamom scents the pastry and the flavour combines wonderfully with the cherries, served in small slices with a cup of tea!
It will go down a treat I am sure, this evening after roast chicken and roast vegetables.
