BONUS REWARD: QUEEN ELIZABETH CAKE recipe!
Added 2021-12-23 15:16:00 +0000 UTCAnd now for something completely different and DELICIOUS! This is a tried and true recipe that Fraser my hubby and I make all the time.
Queen Elizabeth Cake is a tradition in my family.
Anne-Marie, my Grandmother used to make it. She passed the recipe on to Christine, my mother, who in turn passed it on to me. I fondly remember all those Quebec Christmases when I was a kid, as my brother and I always looked forward to presents and a slice of this delicious cake.
It's a wonderfully moist and dense dessert that stays fresh and retains its moisture for several days. It isn't overly sweet and is perfect for the Holidays, but can also be enjoyed throughout the year. It’s perfect for special occasions.
It's called a "Queen Elizabeth Cake" because of its shape and icing as it resembles a golden crown.
It SHOULD be baked in a bundt cake pan, but you can also use a square cake pan if you prefer. You can also make Queen Elizabeth cupcakes which are also a lovely treat.
