About

Similar to gingerbread in its moist texture, this cake keeps well and is, in fact, better after a day or two when the flavours have developed and blended. That said, it is also very good indeed as a pudding, when freshly baked and still warm, served with lavender ice-cream or lavender-infused custard.
