I have decided to change my diet for Lent – for the Cuaresma. This will definitely mean giving up cake!
(except when my guests are here – that would be rude!!!)
So today I made a quick chocolate sponge filled with the home-made nutella from last week.
You can see I am really serious about this! I have till Wednesday to eat it – with help I hope.

Oh I love cake, and especially chocolate cake…mmm! Home-made nutella? This sounds delicious!
I could tear right into that – it looks scrumptious. Happily, I’m hopeless at baking cakes.
But I get an occasional fix by buying cakes made for the charity stalls. I cut up the big ones and wrap in foil to freeze.
Nutella homemade style- thanks to Francesca!
bag of hazelnuts, minus skins
drop of vegetable oil – not olive
icing sugar
plain cocoa powder
whizz up together. Keep tasting and adding as needed.
Eat in any way that excites you!
Cakes! – I am so lucky to have a man here who loves my cakes although they are far from perfect! so I make them and experiment with them and we both eat them rather too quickly.
I would love to make really moist, light perfectly formed sponge cakes but the recent ones have been more home-made than women’s institute. I blame the oven…..and the lack of self raising flour. K xx
