    Cook's tips

    Have all the ingredients for the cake at warm, room tempreature to make it easy to mix quickly.

    Drinks recommendation

    Utterly delicious with a tawny port, which is light enough not to overpower the subtle combination of flavours and brings a smooth, round and nutty mouthful. Try Sanderman Imperial Tawny Port.
