remember when i put those sour cherries simply in jars way back in july? look at them now…
am i the only one that sees a scarface reference here? nevermind. guess you had to watch it about 20 or so times. ahem. just sayin’.
back to the cake, tea cake that is. tea cake is a term i’m fond of using for many of the sweetish, cake-like things coming out of my kitchen. because to call them quick breads, while giving credence to the time it takes to muster up the ingredients and get them in the pan, falls far short of describing the delicate crunch, moist and tender crumb, and dramatic mix of flavors one can find in a truly great tea cake. plus, if offered a slice of cake or a slice of bread with your spot of tea, which would you choose? and cake for breakfast? but of course!
