We picked a
seasonal colour for this month's theme of Red all over. With
all sorts of red fruits filling our allotments, gardens and market
stalls it's been the perfect month to include some in our summer
bakes. Let's see what cakes we have been making this month.
Raspberries
are probably at their best in July. This juicy, bright berry works so
well in cakes and Choclette of Tin and Thyme couldn't resist
using some in a batch of Raspberry
Rose Friands. These dainty little cakes are a gluten free version
using ground almonds and buckwheat flour.
With
raspberries in abundance at our allotment I too used them as a cake
ingredient. I mixed sweet and sour for a Raspberry,
lemon and yogurt loaf cake. It really is a perfect taste of
summer when having a slice sitting out in the garden.
Since red is
my favourite colour I baked two cakes for this month's theme. For a
bake that is good all year round you can't go wrong with a cherry
loaf cake. A plain cake is brought alive with a good helping of
glacé
cherries. This is a cake I bake again and again for cake sales.
As
summer moves on I'll be back in a couple of days with August's theme.
You are not alone. Red is my favourite colour too. Thanks for featuring my friands and your raspberry and cherry cakes look delicious.
