So, in time for you to consider this one for your Valentine celebration this year I present you with

Chocolate Bliss Cake with Raspberry Sauce and Devonshire Cream!

 

You heard me speak of the tea parties that my friend Andi had years ago in a recent post I had for

Almond Raspberry Thumbprints Cookies.   While attending one of her teas, I was lucky enough to try this “Devonshire Cream.” I honestly don’t remember what she served it with, maybe fruit? But it popped into my head when I settled on the Bliss Cake.  I thought the sour cream in both would compliment each other.   Turns out, it did!!

 

I hope that some of my English foodie friends can chime in on this for me, but I believe this to be more of a “mock” version of Devonshire Cream.  It’s kind of a short cut way to get a similar flavor.

 

Andi’s Devonshire Cream

8 ounces heavy whipping cream

1 cup of sour cream

3-6 Tablespoons of Powdered Sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Whip whipping cream, sugar and vanilla.  When thick, fold in the sour cream.
