About

An old-fashioned favourite with a little white chocolate twist, this is the perfect cake to share with a gossipy bunch of girlfriends. It should be served on your prettiest plate with your favourite mixed set of teacups and cake plates, next to a vase filled with country cottage flowers, fresh from the garden.
