Olive

Olive is one of my favourite magazines, I always have it in my magazine rack in my waiting room at work. One of the many advantages of having my own clinic is that I get to pick the reading material. Olive’s strapline is “Eat In, Eat Out, Eat Away”, it’s a publication for foodies.

So I made the mini coffee and walnut bundt cakes from the April edition, fortunately I own the appropriate bakeware.

There was sour cream in the batter which always gives a nice mouth feel.

They went a long way; two boxed individually for friends………

Two for a friend whose plate I needed to return (we rarely return plates empty!)………

And two left for my husband and I to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversay!

From another edition of Olive I made a pastel de tres leches (three-milk cake). This is a sponge cake, popular in many parts of Latin America, which is soaked in three kinds of milk; evaporated milk, condensed milk and whole milk.
