(I don't remember where this came from - the newspaper I think.)
This is a great cake for snacking, especially on long bike rides. Every year the Ottawa Bicycle Club organizes an event called "The Rideau Lakes Tour." It's a ride from Ottawa to Kingston on Saturday (177 km for the 'tourist' route and 235 km for the 'sportif' route) with a return to Ottawa on Sunday. It is very popular and some years there have been 1300 riders. I have ridden on this tour quite a few times and almost always took some of this cake, cut into small pieces to give me energy along the way. When I take it on a cycling trip, I don't put the icing on it. |
