The British School Cake Everyone’s Talking About 🍰

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

​

Hey friends❣️

Do any of you watch the Great British Baking Show? This fun cake was the 'technical challenge' this week ~ it's a nostalgic little dessert that used to be served in UK schools. I tried it and…wow. New favorite.

​British School Cake!​

The combination of the vanilla sponge with a thin layer of sweet icing and the silky custard is amazing. If you've made my Irish Apple Cake you've got the idea. (The custard is similar to my Creme Anglaise except it uses whole milk, not cream.)

Do any of you remember this cake? Hit reply and let me know!

This is the best cornbread ever. It’s quite addictive. And every crumb has disappeared at two potlucks.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

glazed gingerbread biscotti

Hey friends❣️ I have a weakness for all things gingerbread, and I love how it comes in so many different forms, from the most gorgeous holiday layer cake to the simplest drop cookie. Biscotti showcases those classic warm spices in a uniquely crunchy format ~ great for dunking and gifting (they stay fresh for weeks.)
