I'm in one of the strawberry capitols of the world. We have a strawberry
festival every March. You can get a flat of them for under $5. I'm holding
onto this recipe until then. I can't wait!!!

He is in the Southern hemisphere (Australia). His seasons are
opposite of ours.

Side note: Hey Cathy, I found out yesterday that So. African plants
are perfectly suited for my climate. Heh! Probably Austrailian
plants will survive too.

Yes, coarse, hard, dark crystals. Nice on top of things like fancy
coffees and/or whipped cream.

Thanks, it sounds similar to what we call "raw" sugar except it's
dark.... how dark is dark?

Thanks, O... that's exactly what we call "raw" sugar. I have some
sitting in the cupboard, in fact. 🙂

When I copied the recipe, I substituted the word Demerara for RAW suguar. I
have Sugar in the Raw on hand all the time. (It's made on Maui. <g>😉

Made a similar one awhile back, and lost the damn recipe *again*!!

So went hunting and found something that is same same.

No worries.

I've been ordering in supplies for this weekend (the SO's birthday on
Sunday)........ finally nailed her down and got her to answer me as to what
sort of cake she wants.

And this is it..........

http://aww.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=43849

Of *all* the cakes I offered, she just wants a plain chocolate cake, but
with a *whipped* (lighter than dark chocolate) frosting.

The headbanger of the group will be pleased I'm not spreading toxic poison
on top of the cake, but making the frosting myself.

I was all prepared for a jumbo Lemon Meringue, homemade carrot cake, Khalua
cheesecake, High Apple Pie, .......... the whole gamut.

And all she wants is a plain ol' chocolate cake........ no fudge cake, or
mud cake..... just plain ol' chocolate.

So I'm goinmg to make two cakes instead :-)

This is the other one........ same page.......

http://aww.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=230369

So saturday afternoon after lunch is going to be a chocolate lovers
paradise :-)

$5. I'm holding onto this recipe until then. I can't wait!!!

I've still got a bag full of frozen passionfruit cubes, and another of
strawberry cubes....... more like a coulis..... but just the berries mushed
up and put in an ice cube tray and frozen, then placed in a ziploc bag.

I'd never heard of Demerara sugar before, so I googled and learned that
it's what I call raw or unrefined sugar.

I'd never heard of punnet strawberries, so I googled and think they're
what I call plain old regular strawberries. Is there a sort of
strawberry that's NOT a punnet strawberry? I've never seen the term
used to distinguish one sort of strawberry from another at the supermarket.
