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!

🌷Too chilly on this morning’s walk to remove my gloves to take pics, so here’s last night’s candlelit still life.
It was all going so well until I realised what the odd smell was - singed tulip….🔥🙄…

A wise friend once said that it takes longer to not do a job than to do it. 
Case in point: these little stitched pincushions have been hanging around - under wraps but still in the way - waiting to be united with their indigo dyed egg cup bases - for at least six months. 
Today was the day. 
A major achievement for Tartkind🤗

A bracing (ok, very chilly) walk with man and dog on this bright second morning of a brand new year
A very few flakes of snow and a pale rainbow 
All is well in my wee corner of this troubled world

Never met a stripe I didn’t like…
Ok, that’s not entirely true but I’m very happily knitting them in grey and charcoal this holiday time🤗

Enjoying a gentle afternoon in front of the fire with a book in my hand and a dog at my feet. 
This is what I have been waiting for….🙏🏻
Also loving the architectural elegance of my gift-to-self £5 bunch of Lidl tulips on the windowsill.
✨✨✨✨✨
Sending you comfort and joy from our tiny corner of the world ❤️🐾
Happy post day!
My new @thosejoestoes slippers kit in jolly festive red has just arrived
Not too taxing - may be able to stitch them and drink a cheeky port at the same time…what could possibly go wrong?🤔

A gentle morning walk with Bruce as the sun rose on the second shortest day of the year. Blissful!
