CHURCHILL SLICE

There was a time when people were so delighted with their politicians that they named baking after them, such as this slice named after Sir Winston Churchill. These days, it would be hard to find a John Key Loaf or Trump Toffee, so let’s make the most of this slice, which tastes amazing.
