SOTB Teacakes







SOTB:  It's a great drink.  

But these delicate squares of sponge cake have all the flavor without the hangover.  Fiori di Sicilia and peach jelly flavor the cake, topped with peach/pomegranate glaze.  They are easy to make!  Try them and think about summer.







I have quite a bit of peach jelly on hand, which inspired this recipe:

  3. Any chance you could add a "Print" button to your recipes that would strip out the formatting and pictures, so we could easily print out and take into the kitchen?
    Thanks
