Yesterday I reset my kitchen table with
the purple toile items I sewed
last week and I also added a little
accent topper

I was hoping to have enough fabric to
make myself a tea cozy but I
had to literally piece scraps
together to make one.
So now all I needed was a nice
dessert for this post. Every recipe
I looked at seemed disqualified
by the lack of at least one ingredient.
So, I just made a little cake from
staples in the kitchen.

Very simple Lemon Dessert Cake
ingredients were:
ingredients were:
1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup flour, 2 Tb
lemon extract, 1/2 cup sugar, 3 eggs
325 degrees for 25 minutes
I lined my 1 cake pan with
parchment paper
Lemon Sauce: 1/2 cup of butter,
1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup lemon juice,
2 eggs,1 Tb Cornstarch
1 Tb lemon extract
2 eggs,1 Tb Cornstarch
1 Tb lemon extract
Cook at medium high on the
stove in a
double boiler until thick.
Stir constantly. Pour
this over the cake when it is cool.
Please help yourself and
have some tea. It is
British Breakfast tea.
This dessert is small and would
probably feed around 6 people.
It is a softer type cake with an
appearance that looks somewhat
more like a cheesecake.

I hope your spring is arriving

warmer weather back by Friday
and we will love that!
