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!

Sunset at Erfoud
A long but wonderful journey from Fes to Erfoud today, over the eastern part of the High Atlas range. 
Stunning scenery, rock formations, gorges. 
Donkeys, camels, monkeys.
Also snow on the ground. 
Also desert. 
In the date capital of Morocco tonight!

It has taken me quite a while to get here (years tbh) but I’ve finally made it to Morocco. 
Only been here a whirlwind few hours but i know it ain’t going to disappoint 🤗

Not finished my current sweater knit but I caught sight of two generous skeins of #dundaga_yarn in my stash and couldn’t help myself and wound the first one.
I bought them from Iveta @balticknitsscotland - so difficult to choose between all her glorious colour combinations!
I can’t cast on a new project till I finish t’other one (my rules) but the shades are calling me🤗

Moody skies on my walk with the bold boy this afternoon.
Lovely but I’ll be glad when the days stretch a bit further🌙

Just out of the oven. First loaves with some malted organic flour from Dorset, no less.
The chances of one of these ‘losing’ a crust before the evening is out are very high…
