I am hoping you have already read my article on planning a family picnic. if not then you must read it here. Whether you are having a small picnic in your garden or firing up the barbecue or heading off to your favourite picnic spot, there is nothing like a homemade cake. I have taken up a victorian classic and given it a twist by adding grilled blackberry’s and cream cheese. Do feel free to add your favourite fruit. Traditionally this is made by sandwiching jam and whipped double cream between two victorian sponges.I prefer making it a night before and let the flavour develop and the sponge moisten by absorbing the moisture from the filling.
