Time for a CatK update me thinks! Minibakebakegirl takes some really good pictures of him, so I thought I would share a few with you on here. He does love being outside - he is the talk of the street having been in several of our neighbours houses! Minibakebakegirl has said a few times he smells of perfume when he comes home....
I made a Spanish chocolate cake a few weeks ago - the recipe was in Sainsbury's magazine.
Ingredients:
125g plain flour
50g cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
100 ground almonds
175g caster sugar
3 large eggs
200ml olive oil
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
100ml fresh orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180c/160 fan/GM 4. Line a loaf tin.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir in the ground almonds and caster sugar. Make a well in the centre. add the beaten eggs, olive oil, orange zest and juice and vanilla extract. Mix to a smooth batter.
Pour into the tin and bake for about 1 hour 10 mins (cover loosely with a sheet of baking paper after 50 minutes), until a skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
I made this cake when I had just had my oven professionally cleaned (worth every penny) - we had Yorkshire puddings with tea that night so I took a picture of them too as the door of my oven was sparkling and I could see them rising perfectly!
