    At first glance, I wasn't sure this book offered anything new until I started making some of the recipes. The bay leaf lemon zest sugar used as a base of this recipe is a perfect example. Wow! The scent and fresh taste of this sugar, right out of the bowl, is incredible. After impatiently waiting for my sugar to soften, I got this into the oven. Interestingly, no salt is added. Personal tweaks: I subbed GF flour for regular, and 2 teaspoons of that was bean flour. I put in a pinch of salt. Next time, I would up this 1/2 t! It seemed to be browning too fast, so I reduced the temp to 365 starting at the 19 minute mark. I used a 9" round baking pan and lined the bottom. I inverted it too soon so it broke, but held together fairly well. As for the powdered sugar glaze, I needed way more than 1 c. of sugar. Verdict: A perfect cake to serve with a cup of tea. The herbaceous sugar makes all the difference.
