not literally, so don't worry! if i was though, i don't suppose i'd be finding the time to post a message, would i? no, i'm on fire in the sense that i'm posting twice in one day - something that probably won't happen very often, i think it's just a bit of beginners enthusiasm!
so it was easter over the weekend, i hope everyone had a lovely time + enjoyed plenty of chocolate - i certainly did! i had my in-laws down from scotland from thursday 'til tuesday......it was an epic visit but also a nice one.
When they come, i always like to make a bit of an effort (brownie points and all that!) so i cooked and baked lots of treats. we had......
little simnel cakes......
an easter sunday dinner of garlic mushroom bruschetta, parma ham wrapped chicken (stuffed with mozzarella, sun-dried tomato, parmesan + basil) served with crushed, roasted new potatoes + green beans + salad......
the bunny napkin fold can be found here
+ yummy chocolate cake with chocolatey caramel icing + mini-eggs
this is an amazing cake which i adapted from a couple of other recipes, if you'd like to try it for yourselves, here you go......
CHOCOLATE + CARAMEL CAKE
chocolate cake. grease + line 2 x 19cm cake tins. cream 175g butter + 175g golden caster sugar together. add 3 eggs (1 at a time), mixing well. sift in 150g self-raising flour + 25g cocoa + fold through gently. divide between the 2 tins, spread the surface flat + make a small dip in the centres. bake in the centre of the oven at 190˚c, 375˚f for 30 minutes. chocolatey caramel icing. break 200g cadbury's caramel bars (about 5) in a saucepan with 100g butter + 4 tbsp milk. gently heat + stir until smooth. spread a quarter of this mixture on the 2 sandwiching sides of the cake + leave them to cool seperately. stir 150g icing sugar into the remaining chocolate mix. leave to cool until it is thick enough to leave a trail. spread some of this mixture on the bottom half of the cake, then place the other half on top. cover the cake in the rest of the chocolate caramel icing + leave to cool. enjoy!
