Drinking wine is great ~
eating dessert is great ~
combining the two is ecstasy!
We hosted a neighborhood get-together at our house recently, and Valery brought this luscious cake.
Evidently, the cake has been around awhile, but it was new to Bill and I, and I was very happy to meet it.
It’s a buttery, dense cake with a unique taste. It’s easy to make, and sophisticated, without tasting boozy ~ it’s delicious!
Cream sherry is a fortified wine made by fermenting white grapes and then adding brandy, which is a distilled wine with a high alcohol content.
The wine is deliberately exposed to air, which makes it darker and sweeter than other fortified wines.
Sherry is nutty in taste with hints of vanilla, fruit and caramel --- a perfect ingredient for this cake.
It’s a great cake to whip up for any occasion!
