I created this recipe at a food festival last autumn. I was walking around, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying what my home county of Cumbria has to offer, when I stumbled upon a fabulous gin. It got me thinking… How could I work the beautiful botanicals and classic British drink that is gin and tonic into my baking?

Such a good cake. I loved it warm (quite puddingy), but it was almost better the next day – firmer and more tangy.
I love this recipe because what else does a need girl need other than a G&T and cake!!!
Who needs men eh?!
