Happy Wednesday! As promised yesterday, today I am sharing my (very close) second favourite cake recipe with you. A little bit different to yesterday's Chocoholic Choccie Cake but still every bit as good in its own right. Today's cake is a simple 'Butter Cake'. Personally I think this butter cake is delicious! It is denser than a sponge cake yet, lighter and fluffier than a meidra cake. It has a subtle buttery flavour which is (as it suggests) not over powering, allowing for fancy icing / … [Read more...]

Salami, Pesto & Mozzarella Muffins
We enjoyed a couple of 'bring a plate' family lunches over the long Easter weekend. I love these type of occasions, getting together with family. There is something so special about them. It is so lovely to see the kidlets happily playing and adults enjoying adult conversation over a cold beverage or cuppa (whatever takes your fancy). I also love that these occasions give me an excuse to try out new recipes and whip out some old faithful's as well. Lately I have been trying my … [Read more...]
