Retro baking..............

When Laura was on holiday in Wales she bought me a lovely little retro baking book - I am delighted with this little book, it's bursting with lovely things to bake.


I decided to make the cherry cake first but unfortunately when I began to weigh out my ingredients I didn't have enough ground almonds so I swapped coconut for the almonds and it worked beautifully.


The cake was a hit with the family and it's now on my quick reliable cakes to make again list.


I also made a Victoria sandwich which was filled with my home made blackberry jam - very yummy

I love baking, one of the few tasks that always shows quick and satisfying results.

talk soon x

    Nothing more satisfying than a baking experiment that results in a reliable cake to make again and again! Looks scrumptious! Chrissie x

    Looks like a lovely book. I LOVE to watch baking .. hence a great fan of the Great British Bake Off Series on BBC,,, but unfortunately it tends to stress me out more than relax me ... I have tried to get over this a few times ... and I think I might start with bread again .. but your cake does look yummy. Thanks for sharing.

    I think we can't beat the old tried and true recipes Sue - especially if we're in a hurry - and that looks a very interesting and, dare I say sensible, book! I still use the old Be-ro book at times!
