I use my normal victoria sponge recipe adding different flavours and bake in loaf tins, easy for slicing/ portioning. I made Coffee Walnut for Hubby and Carolyn yesterday and lemon for Carolyn and me. Next week I have to take cake to Scotland so I think it will be lemon, coffee, chocolate and plain that should cover all the ladies tastes at the hairdressers whilst Im having my hair done . (my sister is a hairdresser and her clients like my cakes :blush: )
