Quick Cake Stop

Sadly, it's not always possible to eat out all the time. However, cafe culture is an integral part of today's society, and I believe it's very important to set aside time for a quick cake stop. 

This week, my sugar fix came courtesy of Slattery, the incredible chocolatier and patissier in Whitefield, Manchester. It's a semi-regular haunt of mine; I can't get enough of the place.

Here, I indulged in a lemon meringue slice; a tasty hybrid between a lemon meringue pie and a traditional drizzle cake. 

It was a tasty lemon drizzle sponge complete with toasted hazelnuts, a layer of cream in the middle and topped with zingy lemon curd and crisp, crunchy meringue pieces which melted away in your mouth.
