Someone was asking fora spicy sponge cake and I am sure that I have one, so i shall check out my recipes and post. I think I might need to add a few more different recipes as well.We wre in Hawkes Bay a few weeks ago and the most divine scones - they were date and orange -but they were quite different in that they had a layer of dates and orange in the middle - I think they cooked dates and orange together so they were a soft pulp,the layered the other half of dough on the top before baking -they were so delicious,so i have decided i will have to experiment and then share the recipe.
