Recipe News : Have your cake and eat it too (+ recipes)

The first cake I was taught to make at cooking classes in primary school was a sponge, which is quite hard to get right.

There is something deeply reassuring about beating butter and sugar together then adding eggs and flour - it works in every sense, every time.

When I was little I couldn't understand how gloopy stuff went in an oven and came out a cake.

Where did the other stuff go?

The smell of good cake-making, like the sound of flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and happiness.

It is very therapeutic to depart from reality now and then, and go right through the looking glass with your cake making.

Includes recipes for:

• ALMOND BUTTERFLY CAKES


• FRESH LEMON AND OIL CAKE
