  • About

This cake, called tipsy because it would make even the-most adamant of teetotalers more than a little merry, without their even noticing it, is also known as Hedgehog.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole home-made spongecake with jam filling
  • 2 wine-glasses sweet white wine, such as muscatel or sauterne

Method

Pierce the cake through in several places from top to bottom with a skewer, this helps the liquids to penetrate. Put the cake into a nice serving dish. Now pour on the wine, a tablespoon at a time, letting it soak in before adding the next spoonful.

Cut the blanched almonds into lengthwise slivers and stick them into the top of the cake so that it bristles like a hedgehog.
