This cake keeps very well if allowed and not devoured on sight! I make 6 – 8 every year and have done for the best part of 40 years – mostly as gifts – the recipients have now come to expect them. The recipe has been tweaked over the years and is very forgiving.
I know there are some imperfections evident in the cakes in the photo but I go by the Persian carpet weavers’ belief that only God is perfect so they made deliberate mistakes so as not to offend the Almighty: I can make imperfections without even trying!
