I grew up eating Batternburg cake but none in my family eats it so occasionally I buy mini ones from the supermarket and pace myself in the eating. I have to admit to taking them apart and eating them square by square, and the marzipan is still my favourite bit. xKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373043952789494619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-75373334220594232502018-08-18T15:59:19.225+10:002018-08-18T15:59:19.225+10:00Oh how I long for that 28 degrees down here.

I have never heard of that cake but it looks interesting. Love that table runner in that old pic...was it your own design? Funny, I just cleaned my fridge a couple of hours ago but not as thoroughly as you did. I was going to bake a breakfast bread from my Clever Guts book which I bought yesterday but realised, too late, that I was nearly out of almond meal. Grrrr. I hope your weekend brings good news.Ondreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397162777493230125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-23509332993814169112018-08-18T14:44:56.746+10:002018-08-18T14:44:56.746+10:00My Nan used to serve this cake - it brought back ...My Nan used to serve this cake - it brought back a flood of memories.

I won't be knitting a tea cozy, though. =) What precious memories your house gave you today.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-78664149344241488232018-08-18T07:35:43.495+10:002018-08-18T07:35:43.495+10:00Jenny, I have read a couple of Jane Brocket's ...Jenny, I have read a couple of Jane Brocket's books but not that one. I must see if our library has it. A friend was downsizing and last week gave me a book about tea cosies. I think there was a similar one in that book. Whoever thought you could bake a matching cake to your tea cosy :-)Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-30734239719150378762018-08-18T06:05:16.727+10:002018-08-18T06:05:16.727+10:00En Barcelona, España, hoy es una fecha de triste r...En Barcelona, España, hoy es una fecha de triste recuerdo: Se conmemora un año del terrible atentado ocurrido en Las Ramblas. Aún estamos tristes por las victimas. Incluyo a esos muchachos, casi niños, que cometieron el atentado, también victimas. Oro por todos ellos y por sus familias. Hoy una típica tormenta mediterránea ha descargado litros y litros de agua, rayos y truenos en apenas 30 minutos. El cielo clama ante el recuerdo de tanto horror.<br />Yo he dedicado a tarde a hacer mermelada de ciruelas rojas, deshuesar y congelar cerezas para usar cuando ya no sea temporada y hacer la masa de unas futuras croquetas de aprovechamiento con los restos de un cocido. Mientras cocino puedo encontar la paz en las cosas sencillas de la vida que darán placer a otros. <br />Gracias por compartir tus experiencia, hoy he sentido que tenía que compartir las mías con mi hermana residente en las antípodas. <br />Que Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu preciosa familia.<br />Isabelbelrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164921079885043136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-49158739173383200412018-08-18T04:45:26.508+10:002018-08-18T04:45:26.508+10:00I just ordered two used copies of the book ... one...I just ordered two used copies of the book ... one for each of my daughters (I live with the oldest so really it's for me as well.) Thinking of getting extra for my daughters-in-law. Hmm ... I love old recipes. In the late 1950s, I made a Chocolate Chiffon Cake (2 layers) that was in the book that came with my Sunbeam MixMaster. I no longer have that book but have several that I bought through EBay ... hoping to find the recipe. No such luck!! /sigh Someday!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and world with us!!

Funny how some things we enjoy get shunted aside and forgotten in the busyness of life. It is nice to be able to rediscover forgotten joys.

My Dad used to love to go and spend the day at the Oregon Coast just discovering new look outs or even spending hours at an old favorite location. Plus, enjoy your cake. It does look delicious.

It was so good that I wonder why I haven't baked it again. Yummy fresh crisp apples are just about ready to harvest here. Noting like a fresh apple, warmed by the sun and picked right off the tree!!!Simply Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949788201577730682noreply@blogger.com
