Time for Tea, and Raspberry-Peach Buttermilk Cake



Pausing, midday, for a cup of hot tea is one of those treats I rarely allow myself. That shouldn’t be the case. Taking time to step away from the stove, or the computer screen, is so beneficial to my general well-being; it should be a natural part of my day. That moment to regroup, restore, and refill the creative well is as easy as bringing water to a boil.

I was reminded of this when I was asked to sample some organic herbal teas for a company, Sacred Rose. I set aside my work, took out the only tea cup left from a set that once belonged to my grandmother, and poured a delicious, heady brew. That bit of self-nurturing was just what I needed–and the non-caffeinated concoction gave me a little boost, without the spike and drop of coffee.

Sometimes, it’s nice to take the pampering a step further.

I follow a blog, Darjeeling Dreams. Here, Joyti has written much about the world of tea: the types and blends, tisanes and infusions, the rituals of steeping and sipping. She also has some wonderful recipes–mostly desserts—many of which are perfect to enjoy with that vibrant midday cup.

One recent recipe caught my eye. It had all the right elements–a pleasing aesthetic, and an intriguing complexity in flavors created in a simple preparation. It is also her friend’s favorite: a one layer, unfrosted, fresh Raspberry Buttermilk Cake.

One day, I decided to make it, although with slight variation. I had just a handful of raspberries in the house, and a couple of very ripe peaches. Peaches and raspberries baked onto a buttermilk cake sounded appealing, too.

It’s the sort of cake that you can whip up by hand. I like that. No need to lug out the stand mixer. There’s a wee bit of preplanning: be sure to have the butter softened, so that it will cream nicely with the sugar. And, have the buttermilk at room temperature–it will more readily blend with the creamed butter-sugar mixture without clumping.

Joyti makes her cake with a combination of whole wheat and white flours. My pantry offered only unbleached all purpose white flour, so, again, there’s a slight variation.

It baked beautifully.

And the taste? Elegant.

This is a barely sweetened cake, and the buttermilk imparts a rich tang. The crumb is soft. The raspberries almost melt into the batter as it bakes. This aspect is what really makes the cake special, and if you have only raspberries–so much the better. The peaches, while pretty, remain sitting on top–their juices don’t influence the cake’s outcome so much.

One night, I served it to friends with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with peach and plum sauces I had made.

But now, it’s just me. So, I’ll steep a pot of this grounding tea, and have a slice. If you’re in the neighborhood, come on over. I’d love to share.

Vibrational Somatic Therapy

In the evolution of the consciousness of humanity, our bodies (both subtle and dense) have become the depository of inherited and collective global memories. These memories hold the congealed trauma patterns (physical ailments, relational despair, global hunger, struggle and war) of a dis-eased humanity.

You are both bio-chemical and electromagnetic. The frequency of your body is a manifestation of your thoughts, words and emotions along with the foods and beverages you ingest, the air you breathe, the environment in which you live and the experiences you draw in.
Vibrational Somatic Therapy is an energy healing modality. It uses frequencies of light, sound and touch to align and harmonize your being. The use of energies in this way is an ancient form of healing used by many civilizations throughout history.

One of the basic principles is that the physical body is the outer manifestation of our inner consciousness. Vibrational Somatic Therapy is a living technology that interfaces with entry points of congealed enery in the body-mind. It addresses root causes, rather than symptoms, by healing at the cellular level. The effects are cumulative, and the healing expands into the subtle (mental, emotional and spiritual) and dense (physical) bodies of your energetic system.

Vibrational Somatic Therapy is an effective catharsis of energetic blockages (such as entities, lost souls, soul fragments and dysfunctional energetic imprinting) successfully neutralizing trauma, addictions, anxiety and panic, thereby freeing you to experience confidence, peace and relaxation in your body. Following catharsis, you may reclaim your resurrected self and begin to embody your luminous state of consciousness.

Vibrational Somatic Therapy sessions assist you in raising your resonant frequency. Sessions are profound and life enhancing. As your physical experience evolves from the form known as Homo sapiens to the new form, Home spiritus, you are activating your Divine Spark, increasing your level of consciousness and fully embodying your authentic self.

A private 1 1/2 hour Vibrational Somatic Therapy session is $144.00, available by appointment only.
Schedule a session in NY, NJ, PA and FL.
