flower power

Finally, a recipe from Waitrose Food Illustrated to get excited about: Elderflower Cakes with Whipped Mascarpone Icing.

The cakes were lovely: light and airy with just the right amount of elderflower flavor. And the whipped mascarpone and elderflower icing was divine.

The recipe only makes eight, but it seems you could increase the quantities to make a dozen. There was definitely more than enough icing. Then again, the icing was so good, it was quite tempting to eat spoonfuls right from the bowl!

    Ooh - fancy! And they look positively mouth-watering. Wonder if one could tweak the recipe to make it gluten-free??

    Have just come across the pages torn from this mag ready to stick into my recipe book. However, it takes me y-e-a-r-s to get round to making anything from my book. I suspect the pleasure for me is in the dreamin'.
