Browsing through a few cookbooks last week searching for a recipe my husband stumbled across Louise Cake in Sweet by Ottolenghi. However after a bit of hunting around this wasn’t a traditional Louise Cake recipe, rather an adaptation. Louise Cake is a popular New Zealand bake which resembles more of a slice than a cake. The story goes it was named after Queen
Victoria’s daughter Princess Louise and arrived on New Zealand shores with British travellers at the time.
