This cake will change your
life. This is no small claim I
know, but it’s true. This cake is
so good it’s starred at a wedding reception, been immortalised in a script (not written by me) and its recipe
used as leverage to extract fundraising dollars at a preschool. Unlike other loaf cakes, it’s far from
homely, its cross-section studded with pistachios, chunks of pear and chocolate
and flecks of orange zest. If
you’re a person who isn’t a confident baker, or even a baker at all, then this
is the cake for you. It takes one
bowl, five minutes to prepare and about an hour later, you will be swimming in
compliments. Guaranteed.
