From The Whisking Well’s Mother’s Day special bakesale, the Lemon Raspberry Loaf Cake served as a sort of palate cleanser for me. Fresh lemons and raspberry jam made from scratch with no sugar added, the slice was moist and refreshing. The icing was thankfully not overwhelmingly sweet and unlike some others that I have tried, the layer wasn’t thick. The dark horse (pun intended), however, was the Black Cocoa Brownie which was fudgy, rich, and not overly dense. A quick pop into the microwave made it even better. The chunks of walnuts found in the bake also helped cut a tinge of the heaviness and added nice bits of crunch. And a close second was the soft Belgium Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. A chocolate lover’s dream come true, they were decadent, tender, and moreish.
