i was recently given a bottle of chivas regal whiskey by a friend whose
husband is given so many bottles of it that they can't consume it all..
the only way i imbibe it is in cake..

pepper and oregano for an hour or so..as soon as they're cooked i drizzle
 them generously with a mix of extra olive oil, salt, pepper,
oregano and lemon juice

i'd never made a sponge cake before this one but it won't be my last..
