Applesauce Cake with Broiled Walnut Frosting

Applesauce Cake with Broiled Walnut Frosting

What a great cake! This tastes like a classic spice cake, the applesauce lends depth and the vinegar adds a subtle tang. The frosting is great, the next time I make this one I'll serve it with some vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Like the bread pudding, this cake also pairs well with a scotch :)

Lemon Sponge

Lemon Sponge

This. was. DELICIOUS. I was so skeptical about this recipe, I've never made a "sponge" before. I had no idea what it was supposed to be in the end, and the instructions seemed devilishly simple. It is very simple, and yet what a spectacular end product. The dessert separates as it bakes into two layers, a fluffy cake-like layer on top and a creamy custard below. It presented very casual, if you wanted to dress it up for a party I would give it a dusting with powdered sugar, and garnish with raspberries and mint. It is served here, with lightly sweetened fresh whipped cream.

Sour Cream - Orange Walnut Cake

Sour Cream - Orange Walnut Cake

This was a delicious cake, well suited to springtime! It was bright and light, and it would go great with coffee or tea. I think it would be a great twist to make this recipe into cupcakes and serve at an afternoon party.
