Today as it was wet and windy I made some mince pies. The pastry is made with ground almonds and uses egg yolk which gives it a nice and delicate texture. Christmas is coming!!
This is the chocolate marble cake I made for my nephews school fete in the classic Guess the weight of the cake competition. The answer: 13lb and 12oz.
I had a very taste slice of Cornish heavy cake from the excellent bakery on St. Martins Island, Scilly Isles whilst on a recent holiday. Its similar to the classic Rock cake but a bit more crumbly. ๐ This was my first attempt at making a batch myself. Very tasty if I say so myself! The extra sprinkle of sugar on the top makes all the difference ๐
