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!

My block print samples on scraps of vintage/new cottons/linens, tidied and sewn together yesterday.
This will be my autumn travelling stitchery project, using some lush threads.

A wee Saturday sewing day with this cloth I bought from @metaphorracha some considerable time ago. Based in Bangalore and with excellent eco credentials, it is a company with heart. I hope I can visit again one day.
🍁I gathered these a few days ago, feeling like autumn was just around the corner.
And here we are in toasty hot temperatures again…😎

The sun was slipping down over this harvested field as 🐾 and I took a gentle evening stroll. 
Such peace here. 
Such a horrifically unequal world.

Wednesday’s windowsill, with a little licence. This jolly pot is not mine but it’s providing excellent service cheering up a quiet corner in Perthshire! 
I’m sitting outside a yarn shop - can’t promise I’ll leave empty handed…🧶
