Trees and cakes have no very obvious connection, but it's fair to say that a lot of the tastiest things that go into cakes were once part of a tree (cinnamon, dates, pine nuts, pecans and chocolate to name but a few) and these are all ingredients featured in a new recipe booklet from Tree Aid, with recipes by a host of celebrity chefs including Antony Worrall Thompson.
The charity wants people to raise money by baking and selling cakes, to let as many people as possible learn about their work, which focuses in particular the importance of trees for food in Africa. It suggests you do this by hosting a cake event (and who could say no to one of those?)
