With its cross-hatch pattern, this ruby-red cake makes a striking finale to brunch. Spring through early summer is the ideal time to shop for fresh rhubarb (and harvest it from your garden). Choose long crisp stalks that are blemish-free.
Maple syrup and maple-flavoured whisky liqueur bring a touch of Canada to this holiday classic. Individual turnovers make for easy entertaining. Freeze the unbaked turnovers and bake them straight from the freezer. If maple-flavoured whisky is unavailable, you can substitute brandy.
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.
Enjoy these spiced confections on their own or take the flavour a step further by topping your latte with them—instant treat!
