L’intermission – Luscious Lychee

Drenched in summer, this cake comes alive with the delicate, floral notes of lychee—infused in the sponge batter, reduced to a syrup, and nestled within as whole fruit—contrasted by the silkiness of rose buttercream and the sharpness of raspberry jam. Behind this exquisite creation is Tessa Huff, renowned cookbook author of titles including Layered and Icing on the Cake. From her Vancouver studio, where she curates the Bake Club newsletter, Tessa shares that this cake encapsulates “light and refreshing flavors, perfect for a warm day.” The visual artistry, marked by intricate piped details and a dramatic ruffle, further showcases her baking mastery.
