Cakes

Jackie makes our cakes and is incredibly passionate about it - completely self taught, she is a natural-born with a wooden spoon in her mouth! We're trying to get her to agree to run a course here on cake making and pastry, all of which she does wonderfully, but its fair to say that we are meeting with some resistance!

BAKEWELL SLICE

There will be always arguments over what the real Bakewell tart is 'Strawberry or Raspberry jam', 'Almonds or not' - we don't care - we think that our version with almond cream and whatever jam we've made that week is delicious. So there!

COURGETTE CAKE

Sounds unusual, and I must admit that I wasn't sure before I tried it, but one bite and I was an enthusiastic convert. Moist, slightly spicy, suffused with lemony syrup, and sprinkled with toasted crunchy pine nuts it is absolutely delicious, and lasts ages.

LARDY CAKE

Common in the west of the country, we think our East Anglian version is the best! Jackie uses half butter and half lard to create what I think is the best lardy cake I've ever eaten. It is now gaining in popularity owing to its discovery by not a few food writers including Matthew Fort and Tony Turnbull. We can only produce a few at a time so get your order in early to avoid disappointment......

SEASONAL FRUIT FRANGIPANE TART

We make our own frangipane from almonds, butter, sugar, a little flour and a dash of rum and place it in a crumbly pastry pie shell and top it with whatever seasonal fruit we have to hand. Scatter on some toasted almonds and away you go. Crumbly just cooked almondy interior, bursting with fresh fruit.

STICKY GINGERBREAD

Our gingerbread is sticky and fudgy and is made with fresh lemons to counter the sweetness. It has that quality of seeming to get stickier if you leave it a few days.

TUNISIAN ORANGE AND ALMOND CAKE

A signature cake and more of a pudding than a cake, this version of the north African classic uses zested oranges and almonds to make a soft, melting, very moist sensation drizzled with syrup made from the juice of the oranges. Warning – this cake is addictive!
