These look so enticing, Wil. And the story makes them even more so. I wonder if I could substitute Punch Abruzzo (which I mentioned in last week's newsletter) for the Swedish punsch. Based on your description, it might just work.
lardy cake! I think I need that recipe! Lard icing is stiff (the lard) and incredibly sweet (probably tons of powdered sugar, used in neighborhood bakeries. Perfect childhood memory, generally used on large sheet cakes for things like Baptism, first holy communion, fancy birthdays. Maybe it replaced the more expensive fondant? Anyway, it's horribly addictive, thank god!
And I've been thinking of writing about my proclivity for sweet breakfasts all morning--talking about pies, cake with lard or buttercream icing, etc.! Now I have your lovely recipe to eat all by myself since other household members insist on cerdeal and oatmeal etc. So thank you for the addition to my breakfast!
“precisely 1 dollop” made me laugh!
Your servings math is on point.

I have a fondness for cakes that have a story, somehow it adds to the eating pleasure. I’m looking forward to trying these.
Sounds delicious!
You're the man!!

Just ordered a bottle of Carlshamns Flaggpunsch for a true-to-Will try at this recipe
Wil, this sounds ideal.
