Liz Earle’s pear and bay cake

I’m so pleased to support the Brew&Bake campaign and the lifesaving research funded by Meningitis Now. The charity is working towards a future where no one in the UK loses their life to meningitis and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives. I very much hope you will be able to contribute to this work by supporting this worthwhile campaign.

For a fabulously fresh take on a slice of cake, try using subtle and fragrant flavours by baking with herbs. The perfect accompaniment to a cup of herbal tea, the savoury leaves soften the sweetness of the fruit, creating a wonderfully unusual, delicate cake.
