Cake is always a good idea

Yesterday I had a wee cooking session and one of the outcomes was Mozart Cake.

I don't know what the connection to the composer is - did he like coffee, chocolate and marmalade?

It's a recipe from my mother's pile of saved ones and I only ever remember it hand written so I've no notion of its origin. No notion, either, of what sparked the idea to bake it as it is years since I have, but I inevitably felt the need to tweak the recipe.

In case you are in want of a nice easy cake, I've attached a link below to a pdf where I give you the un-fiddled-with version and then what I did with it.

And I have just remembered that the original had an icing sugar/lemon juice icing, just to add to the fun.

I can see it: Mozart…Vienna…coffee…Sacher torte (not marmalade but apricot jam with chocolate, close enough). Personally, I’d sub semisweet chocolate bits for the sultanas. Yum!

Happiness is… a fresh supply of my ‘superfood’ granola! 

You may scoff, but toasted oats and seeds and nuts and cacao and cinnamon and a pinch of salt, dried fruit, honey and some oil is my ‘food of the gods’

My intentions are good but I just don’t read as many books as I used to. 
I hope that can change as there are stacks of ‘em in the queue.

This early collection of Claire Keegan’s was as good as you’d expect - carefully crafted, not a wasted word.
And now I’m savouring artist James Roberts’ use of language in his contemplation of dawn and dusk in all their magnitude.
