  I really do love to make cakes that are easy to make and at the same time so delicious to eat. This cake is so good served with fresh berries and also a dollop of cream or ice cream. A cake that is so good for dressing up when needed.

This sounds so easy to make, and yet it would be full of flavour, especially if serves with a little butter on it. Wonder what it would be like toasted?

  Most cake is nice slightly warmed and served with a dollop of double cream.
