A recipe from Joy The Baker, via my niece Kate in 2009. The tartness of the Granny Smith apples and the fresh cranberries offset the sweetly spiced sponge. The hole in the centre of the Bundt cake is filled with flower.
The idea of decorating a Christmas cake with passion flowers came from my friend Bette 35 years ago.
The flowers have been in my freezer since the summer, waiting for this moment.
Very impressive! Cranberries and apple sound very tasty.
ReplyDeleteHalf of it is in the freezer - or we'd binge on it.
DeleteLooks wunderbar! Seems to be the in thing these days decorating cakes with flowers. Some of the creations are fantastic. Hope my card arrived on time?
ReplyDeleteYes, thanks!!
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of flavours and with a box of cranberries lurking in the fridge I shall make this at the first opportunity! I might even not wait until we've finished the Christmas cake!
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and wish you the best of New Years! x
I suspected that you'd like the look of this one. It freezes well too
DeleteWhat a good idea to freeze the flowers so you would have them at Christmas! I sometimes freeze snow in a flat pan so that I can ensure the I have clean snow to make maple taffy on the snow in the spring!
ReplyDeleteWe need to know more about this intriguing concoction!
DeleteMaple syrup boiled down to an increased sugar content using candy thermometer, then drizzled over snow for enthusiasts to wind onto wooden lolly sticks to eat it!
DeleteThat sounds stickily delicious
DeleteHappy Christmastide, and also many thanks for your 'Pauses in Advent!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all you did for P in A this year!
DeleteSounds like a delicious cake! I still have some fresh cranberries; might have to order some Granny Smith apples!
ReplyDeleteI think any firm, not too sweet, apples would work.
