Karen's 50th chocoholic birthday cake

My sister, Karen hit the big 50 this weekend and to celebrate I made a chocolate fudge cake. It was filled with rich chocolate butter icing and mixed with bits of flake. I drizzled lashings of caramel sauce over the top and the sides of the cake and finally, added some tasteful gold leaf. The fudge cake was lovely and moist and the flake-filled butter icing was a good choice and one I shall do again!

Healthier Homemade Granola

Homemade Granola. I have been meaning to make my own granola for ages, so I am so pleased that at long last I did it and even better, it tastes really good! I like knowing what is exactly in my granola - no hidden sugars, which often happens with bought granola.  Here's the quick and easy recipe I used:- 1 Banana - mashed up 3 tbsp Maple syrup or honey 80g Peanut butter (or any nut butter) 210g mixed unsalted chopped nuts 160g rolled oats 100g dried fruit 1 tsp cinnamon Instructions:- Mix mashed banana, peanut butter & maple syrup/honey. Add chopped nuts, oats & cinnamon to the mix. Spread the mixture thinly on a baking tray. Bake for 20 mins in oven 170c/325f. Once cooled ad the mixed fruit. Store in air tight jar for up to 2 weeks. Delicious with Greek yoghurt!
