Sorry about the long break in between posts. Hubs and I are on a rather ardious diet which almost deletes all things sweet. However, of course one must take whisk and bowl in hand when a special occasion comes along such was the case this weekend. A girlfriend of mine whom I haven't seen in ages popped in for a visit.
You may have noticed the use of cupcake liners in this post. I had made the decision not to use them as where I live, decent liners are few and far between. That was the main reason for my not using them with all my cakes prior to this. However when transporting the sweet darlings it can get rather precarious therefore I'm giving them a go. Tried some basic white mini liners with this recipe. I have to say, although simple, they are rather cute.
This is a moist nutty hazelnut cake recipe with a zing of lemon zest. A rather unusual combination but which I think works. The lemon tang in the cake compliments the sweet and tart raspberries on top. Whilst the hazelnut flavour goes beautifully with the dark chocolate ganache.
I can almost taste it in my mouth....I'm sure they do taste as gd as they look ! Keep it up sis !
ReplyDeleteYummo....pity they won't survive the post. Would you like me to send you some cupcake wrappers, there is a cute shop here that sells all sorts...more than happy for an excuse to go out there have some tea and cake and shop for you (and me too!)
ReplyDeleteSuzy Hausfrau, always good to hear from you. Because I just know I'll fall in love with whatever you send me, better not! Cause I'm sure I'll want more! In the process of scouting for something much like the Wilton nut & party cups or Donna Hays french pleated liners, wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteps. have some tea & yummy cake anyway...always good hun :)
