Katherine's Sponge Cake
I love this band, the are just amazing and this song is so beautiful:
Stars Your Ex Lover Is Dead
Finally, I am starting to feel settled in our new kitchen. I am in love with my beautiful porcelain sink, with the light under the cupboard which makes doing the dishes so much better. I love the oak countertops and great storage. The large window brings a lot of light, there is room for all my cookbooks on the shelves, they do not have to hide in the living room anymore, and best of all, I have a tv!
Cooking just got better, I can learn even more with the food network on!
Here it is!!!!
The first thing that I baked in this kitchen was what I mention in this post.
It is the cake that my neighbour, Katherine, made for us the day before our move. It turned out delicious and I will make it again and again. Thank you Katherine for sharing!!!!!!!
It tastes like a combination of shortbread and a pound cake. You can serve it with jam, make it chocolate or coffee flavoured by adding some cocoa or espresso. My favourite is the way Katherine made it, with lemon and some icing sugar poured over the cake when it is still hot. I like to serve it with whipped cream and some berries.
