My Mum in law came down from the Isle of Lewis on Thursday, so I decided to bake a cake for the occasion. I decided on a Madeira cake - the first recipe in the book.The recipe was straight forward and turned out ok, although it says to put a slice of citron peel on top - what is that Mary? Is it a slice or lemon, or orange peel? I didn't bother as it seemed to be more for decoration than flavour.
The cake is fairly plain, which I guess is right for Madeira cake. It tasted fine but we gave it 7.5, probably because we like things with a little more flavour.
