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!

Heading home from our mini break today. 
We dodged most of the rain yesterday and rest assured, Bruce fitted in another cafe visit. 
This time to @brew_and_chew_perth - a very dog friendly cafe which happens to do excellent toasties. And alcohol-free mulled wine which I had to boost the seasonal spirit🍷🤗

I got home a little while ago to find the fire lit. 
I hunkered down with my back to it. 
Just to warm up, you understand.
And then there was a nose resting on my leg.
…
Do I have to get on with some work now or should I stay right here for the foreseeable?
