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!

Bit of a cheat. I still have sleeves to knit on my current sweater so I will not start with the kingfisheresque(!) @fortheloveofyarn project yet. 

But I am reading this. I’ve somehow missed out on Maggie O’Farrell’s books all this time but plan to make up for it this year. 

Very much enjoying #thevanishingactofesmelennox

This wonderful colourway is called Ore, by the talented Charlotte @nervusfibre.

These and other beauties of hers have arrived at @thewoollybrew and they cried out to me from Fiona’s recent post.

This skein is going to be a cowl. 

Probably…
