This is a rich, dense cake. Slice it thinly for your guests! Goes well with tea or a spicy hot chocolate.

Hi, Jenny--Sorry I missed speaking with you yesterday; I wanted to tell you how much I like your blog! You're obviously into two of my favorite things, tea and baking, although I think we come at them from slightly different angles: I bake sourdough and Essene breads and am utterly smitten with Chinese teas at the moment (puerh is my latest discovery). But I adore all the things you make, too. Let's have lunch (or something more interesting, like tea!) once things have settled down abit, okay? 'Til then, take care!
Jane (Love, that is)
