Richard Sax’s Classic Home Desserts is a long-cherished favourite of mine, and a treasury of both classic and cosy baking, which has sweetly inspired me over the years. There are simply so many recipes in this expansive tome that I was eager to bring to your attention, but I finally plumped for the Southern Coconut Layer Cake with Divinity Icing.
