I
love the Random Recipes Challenge set to us by the lovely Dom of
Belleau Kitchen, however for the past couple of months I have missed
the deadlines due to (let's be honest here) too much basking in the
wonderful Canadian sun! This month however I was determined to take
part especially when it was revealed that this months challenged was
teamed up with Tea Time Treats courtesy of Karen from Lavender &Lovage and Kate from What Kate Baked. Not so good for my expanding
waist line but a challenge is a challenge and I had to do it after
being absent for so long, so like the good girl that I am I headed
straight to my baking collection of books. Now the challenge was Tea
Time Treats so it seemed only appropriate to pick the book Afternoon Tea Parties by Susannah Blake, since that's as close as you get to any Tea
Time Treats! I closed my eyes and randomly flicked through the pages.
When I stopped I was extremely happy to discover I had picked her
'Snow-topped Coconut Cake' which was part of the Winter Wonderland
tea menu. Since I love coconut and lime I was ecstatic, and after
drooling over the accompanying picture for a couple of weeks I
finally got round to baking the cake.
