Whip up a Victoria Sponge cake this weekend (Recipe HERE) and layer it with a really good raspberry jam and top with whipped cream. I made this one for my neighbor whose been quite ill. Cake and cream with a strong cup of tea should make her feel a little brighter. Keeping with the English tea time theme, I presented it on my vintage Queen Elizabeth Coronation plate.
I just had breakfast and now this makes me hungry again!
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious.
My very favourite sort of afternoon teatime cake, and your whorl (is that the word I'm looking for) design on top makes it special. Fortunate neighbour.
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL Post.thanks for share..
ReplyDeleteSo I read this and though to myself, is that really someones name ? lol
ReplyDeleteCake and tea ... the best remedy for anything that ails you .. chocolate too.
I don’t even know the way I finished up right here, however I assumed this publish was great. I do not realize who you are but definitely you are going to be a well-known blogger in case you are not already. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteLooks SO good! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a good neighbor you are! My sister has a neighbor like you and she just adores all the special things done for her exactly when they are needed. I vow today to be more like you!
ReplyDeleteWhipped up a blueberry buttermilk cake yesterday...just the thing with a cup of tea on a cold, rainy, Spring day. Left 1/4 of it at my neighbour's door - arriving back in the wee hours from a trip - thought it might make for a nice breakfast and say Welcome Home.
ReplyDeleteI love the simple but beautiful way you spread the icing how girlie and beautiful so I'm sure it taste even better than it looks! Wait can cakes be girlie?...I think hey can. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour presentation is always so lovely. How kind of you to care for your neighbour.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. Your neighbour must have been delighted.

Now, why can't I have someone like you for a neighbor? Someone who brings you cake, instead of someone who throws dirty paper plates in the yard.

Weyondon Chania! You always know how to make sweets look irresistible! I read your question on my blog and I will certainly ask around when I am at my office in Montréal. Perhaps one of the Montréal design shops would know and I do like to make the tour so I will ask....could be pricey though.
ReplyDeleteOh this looks beautiful! Guess what, I finally found some soaps at HomeSense.
ReplyDeleteJust the words sponge cake make me home sick for Australia. Loved seeing your pics and your recipe. So sweet of you to share. Carla
