Raspberry Marscapone layer cake (recipe from Annie Bell's Gorgeous Cakes book)
It's three layers of almond whisked egg sponge with a raspberry/icing sugar/marscapone mixture in the middle and pink icing on top - I love this cake unreservedly.
And next up
Courgette cake (from Nigella's Domestic Goddess)
The last time I made this cake I didn't have any lemon or lime curd so I just put some of the top frosting (cream cheese, icing sugar and lime juice) in the middle and I think I prefer it that way. With the lemon curd in the middle it's still delicious but the tartness of the lemon can be too strong a flavour and overpowers the courgette.
Mmmmmm - cake!
OK--after all the emotional eating I've been doing during this last final push to get the dissertation/defense done, I finally started getting back on track with healthy eating a few days ago. Did NOT need to see these cakes. Both look so yummy!
