It takes something rather special to impress me. It’s not that I am snooty about cake at all .. but I am fussy and rarely do I ever find a cake that is made commercially that compares to one I might make at home. A couple of weeks ago my friend Helen (who writes the most wonderful blog called Fuss Free Flavours) and I went out for afternoon tea to Beas of Boomsbury.
It was a lovely café, pretty and lively and relaxed. I’d just eaten a fabulous lunch at Corrigan’s in Mayfair so the very last thing I wanted to do was eat more .. however Helen ordered a Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cheese Cake and offered me a taste. I gingerly popped a small piece on the fork and oh …. oh .. how I wished it had been a more generous piece!
Despite having had an elegant sufficiency I unashamedly, without hesitation took a second. Luckily Helen pretended not to notice my overindulgence and I am delighted to have found the recipe in Bea’s delightful new recipe book Tea With Be so watch this space because I shall be making more from this beautiful book of delights.
