Lime chiffon cake with lime curd and coconut custard *
It was Alastair’s birthday yesterday, and as per tradition, there was birthday lasagne.
Naturally, it’s not a real birthday unless there’s cake, so I asked him what he wanted.
“Chocolate?”
“What kind of chocolate? Chiffon? Mudcake? Flourless?”
“Ahh… how about chocolate beetroot?”
During the conversation, I agreed to chocolate beetroot and then later… totally disregarded his request. However, in my defense – actually, I have no defense. I just wanted to bake another chiffon cake. I don’t know why I bothered asking for his opinion.
