I found this recipe quite recently, as I was wandering the internets for ideas on how to get the kind of rich flavours I’ve experienced at higher end restaurants. My first clue was fresh herbs, and then I found some blogs which talked about how wine brings out flavours. Knowing next to nothing about wine or fresh herbs, I needed to follow some very explicit instructions. In the end, I found this recipe which turned out to be almost exactly what I was looking for. It takes a bit of work, but I liked it so much I made it a second time for my parents just a week later.

They do at least taste a lot less sweet, especially due to the cream cheese frosting. I prefer this recipe over many other variations because it uses pineapple to increase moisture, instead of the more popular raisins (I’m not a fan of dried fruit). I’ve also used this opportunity to practice what I learned in my cake decorating course again.
