CHEF'S NOTES
In Wales, baking was an important part of every household kitchen, to provide a range of bread and sweet cakes for afternoon tea served in every dwelling. The natural combination of cheese and fruit come together in this cake, giving a lighter texture to the fruit and an appealing astringency from the mild cheese.
