Banana Cake
A beautiful moist cake - ice, if you wish, with lemon icing, but we like it just dusted with icing sugar!
Berry Ambrosia
This variation on the traditional ambrosia salad is delicious and always a crowd pleaser. It’s brilliant as a Christmas dessert and quick and easy if you need to take a plate in a hurry.
You can use frozen berries if fresh ones aren’t in season.
