Baking on a Summer Evening

I wanted a quick and easy dessert for tonight, so I baked an old favourite which uses tinned (canned) peaches. The recipe is from ” Very Easy Vegetarian Cookbook” by our truly excellent New Zealand mother and son team, Alison and Simon Holst. They call it “Peach Danish”.

Here is the end result, with the light of the summer evening in the background. The cake is drizzled, ( very unprofessionally! ), with lemon icing.

The red object on the window sill is a solar powered torch. These torches are common household items since the earthquakes began in 2010; part of emergency preparedness, but rarely used.

Back to the dessert cake; looks so good. Can’t wait to have some with a scoop of ice cream!
