Lemon, raspberry & yogurt bread
For Christmas, fellow-chef, Ricardo, and Brigitte (his wife) sent me a gift box that included a loaf pan, and I really like it. It’s simple, non-stick, and the perfect size. Thank you, my friend (frankly, I don’t know Ricardo personally, but I tell myself he’s my buddy).
This cake is the perfect combination of dessert, snack, breakfast, and incentive for Alex to obey my orders (haha!). I serve it with ice cream, but you could also add fruit, yogurt, or sorbet.
It’s great for two people to make for fun on a Sunday, and is easily inhaled in eight seconds—but it’s better when slowly savoured.
