Have you ever made something so yummy you felt it should be served on fine china and a fancy fork? Well, what is stopping you? Go ahead and make this delightful cake, a perfect treat to go with coffee
Go ahead and make this delightful cake, a perfect treat to go with coffee or tea. The only thing you will have to worry about once this comes out of the oven is if people would like one lump or two.
A few years ago I went to a small town White Elephant Sale that raised funds for the local volunteer fire department. The old building was packed with treasures! Old linens, tea cups, platters, books, and one year I bought an old steamer trunk.
As much fun as it was to go, I think buying a few older pieces would be a shame if I didn’t use them once in a while. I love getting out the old dessert plates and real silverware forks to serve dessert on. It makes it seem extra special. And if you have someone over for coffee, I think that is a great reason to just slow down and break out the good china.
You may even find yourself saying “quite nice” and another spot of tea sounds smashing!
I just had a little tea-party with my granddaughter. She LOVED that I served dried pineapple and goldfish crackers. It was kind of an impromptu tea so anything we put on the tiny plates was great. the next time I go to their house I will have to take my mini bundt pans and make this! She will be over the moon thrilled!
This recipe comes from Epicurious. com who had this to say about their cake.
This can also be made with white nectarines, or about six large plums or pluots. It’s great with ice cream or whipped cream.

Quick TIp: This is a great little cake to bring to an event beause it doesn’t need to be frosted. Easy transportation! and if it is warm outside you dont have to worry about the icing getting runny!
