Shortcake

Magnolia

We have two rhubarb plants in the garden at the moment, and they've really taken off in the last month or so. That's how i knew it was time to make some dessert, using this recipe: rhubarb and strawberry shortcake. It's been a favourite of ours for a few years now. Something about the tart rhubarb, matched with the sweet strawberries. Then the rich buttery shortcake. And even better, eating the leftover cake for breakfast with coffee.

The magnolia stem was a gift from a visiting friend. The scent is divine, and that pink! The petals look like they're made from the finest hand-painted porcelain.

    Magnolias are indeed very beautiful. We have a Little Gem magnolia in our garden and the creamy white flowers are exquisite and the perfume is divine!

    Yum – I too have a bountiful crop of rhubarb at present, and made this cake with some of it. Very delicious.
