Used a basic teacake recipe from The Australian Women's Weekly 100 Favourite Cakes cookbook and added some dried fruit for this one. Looks like I was a bit stingy on the fruit in this photo, but the generous shake of the packet that went into the mixture is in there. Somewhere. I promise. This cake was nearly a Viennese Coffee Cake, until I discovered I had no buttermilk. Then it was nearly a fruit twist until the thought of separating out, rolling and then plaiting 3 lumps of dough freaked me out. Then it was nearly a Cinnamon-Apple Cake until I realised our cinnamon was well past use-by and looked a bit ill. But despite its checkered beginnings, my dried fruit teacake has nonetheless proved to be a success with the eaters of the household.

Taro cake on a Tuesday
Living in the multicultural country that we do, there are always all sorts of culinary delights to be had. Take this little fellow, for instance. Taro cake, as purchased today from a local Asian bakery. So beautiful! And I haven't even taken a bite yet...
