I have created a wee Mother’s Day display of some of our products so you create something sweet for you own mother
Including one of my favourite recipes: Feijoa, hazelnut and white chocolate cake (pictured on our glass cake stands), I will probably get into big trouble for sharing this recipe as many people have asked me for it over the years!
This is one of my favourite cakes as its fudgey and has beautiful flavours and texture, the top of the cake caramelises perfectly with the hazelnuts. You can serve it dusted with icing sugar with coffee or warmed with french vanilla ice cream!
Feijoa, white chocolate and hazelnut cake
INGREDIENTS
90g soft butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar

1 cup milk
1 cup sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup of extra brown sugar or raw sugar
METHOD
Cream butter and sugars, add eggs one at a time
Fold in the vanilla essence and mashed feijoas
With a big spoon fold in the milk, flour and baking powder

Freshly brewed coffee and cake is perfect for morning or afternoon tea with your mother and/or children
I tried out the quilted glass jars on my expresso machine and the glass withstood the heat, (I would recommend wrapping a napkin around the jar though) which made me think ice coffees would be so lovely in these jars!
