Introduction

Served by friends of the family at a Boxing Day dinner, I loved this tangy, spongey cake so much I got the recipe and make it several times every year. It would be a perfect dinner party pudding with raspberries and creme fraiche, as it's made all in the processor and can be made before you start on the main!
