Dear chum sent me details of this recipe she was proposing to make last week.
http://veggiedesserts.co.uk/nettle-and-lemon-cake-with-lemon-icing-and-blackberries/
Unfortunately events conspired against her so it didn't get made....until today that is. I have to say she did most of the donkey work like the nettle picking [she had the last of last year's blackberries in the freezer still] but I did my very best to hinder her and it was certainly a novel way of using up stingers. I am particularly impressed that I have eaten my first ever green sponge!
As to taste....jolly scrummy thank ye and here's "our" [well hers plus my meddling contribution] version!

And delicious it was.... although you know, I cut a wedge off for my workmates to try, (having ranted on about the recipe I had found).... and the wimps were too scared to try it!!!... apparently the green colour has made them rather scared. I think this may signify just how far down the spectrum of 'weird' we two may have traveled. Yes, really.
