Chocolate Banana Cake
Jul 14, 2005
Sunshine cake, really angel food cake made with whole eggs, is relatively obscure despite being around for more than a century. However, with its light moist texture, golden colour and citrus flavour, it makes an ideal Passover dessert using kosher-for-Passover ingredients, as well as one for Easter (see Variation, this page) and certainly deserves more celebrity.
Any tangy orange — navel, burgundy-fleshed Moro in the winter or a member of the mandarin family — is ideal in this recipe. Serve with whipped cream scented with orange liqueur and sweetened sliced or crushed strawberries.
Try these gourmet desserts sweetened only with dates from French-Canadian cookbook author Madame Labriski.
Spring showers bring the delightful surprise of a rainbow that brightens any gathering. Making the batter and icing once then dividing it for colouring makes it easy.
