It’s a day before Hobbit Day and I’m so happy to present you guys with the final recipe – cake with whipped cream and fresh berries. I’ve been posting photos on Instagram the last few days and I’ve been getting such amazing comments from everyone on the recipes for Hobbit Day! I’m so overjoyed everyone is loving it!
This recipe for the cake is again from Mary Berry’s Baking Bible. Not only are her recipes incredibly delicious but it’s also so easy to follow. There is no creaming involved. All you have to do is place all your ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Honestly, that’s all it takes. Top that off with some sweetened whipped cream and fresh berries and you’ve got an amazing dessert table centerpiece.
Happy Hobbit Day, everyone!
