The British School Cake Everyone’s Talking About 🍰

Published 8 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!

​The cold mornings have nudged me back into hot breakfasts ~ this is how I do it.​

​I'm sorry but this is the most perfect sandwich ever invented. ​

​Every September the peppers at the farmers market slay me...so this is for dinner tonight.​

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!

potluck salads

Hey friends❣️ I'm going to be honest: potluck salads can be a gamble. I don't always love playing “guess the ingredients” with a bowl that's been making the rounds all afternoon. But give me a table full of Great Island salads ~ fresh, colorful, never boring ~ and suddenly I’m all in. Add a few good friends and call it dinner. What can I say ~ I trust my own recipes :) Summer Potluck Salads get the recipes What you're loving lately 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Strawberry Lemon Blondies The lemon juice makes the...

Ham and Jam Sandwich

Hey friends❣️ It’s funny because my husband and I have both been leaning slightly low carb lately, so sandwiches haven’t really been on our radar. But that all changed last week when ham and jam came into our lives. Smoky ham, creamy-tart goat cheese, and sweet-savory jam turns out to be an incredibly winning combo. And the bread I happened to pick up at Whole Foods? It blew us away. Now I literally can’t stop dreaming up sandwich dinners... Ham and Jam Sandwich get the recipe My husband and...

sprouting onion

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! How’s your weekend going? I’m coming off a busy stretch in the kitchen ~ and I’m looking forward to sharing it all with you. Here’s your sneak peek: We were in the mood for sandwiches for dinner and came up with a couple of uniquely delicious recipes. We also discovered a light baguette/roll at Whole Foods that I’m now obsessed with. The sandwich dinner is officially back! And yes, there was baking. Lemon + chocolate in a bar dessert. And cheesecake again, but...
