Rose Scented Geranium Leaf Cake
Today I baked a cake to welcome my niece and my great niece who are visiting from the Lebanon. I picked 8 rose scented geranium leaves from the pot on the patio, laid them on the base of a cake tin, poured over a sweet almond batter and then when it was cooked and still warm soaked it in a syrup spiked with more leaves, rose water, lemon and honey. ( Thank you, Mann, for the recipe - torn out of a magazine many years ago.)
And while the heat hammered the garden all afternoon I let myself get caught up in the fire hose battle of the champions on Centre Court......and nearly let the hazelnut meringues burn in the oven.....
