In Sweden we make rhubarb cakes in the summer and enjoy with whipped cream, naturelle or with vanilla flavour.

I don't have the tipsy cake recipe. A friend made it many years ago. They made a basic sponge cake in a pudding basin, so may have microwaved it. Then they fed it with a sweet white wine (possibly Madeira) over a couple of days, then sliced it into 3 pieces (horizontally when the cake was turned out of the basin. Equal thickness pieces). They put crabapple jelly and whipped cream in between each of the slices and reassembled it. Then just eat it, with extra cream if you wish. It was fantastic.

If I was rich I would make white chocolate and pumpkin spice cheesecakes on top of chocolate crumble every day. Either that or pistachio mousse, which is something I had in Italy once years ago.
