Let them eat cake

I went to the farmers market this morning and they had some wonderful pears, apples and plums.

I bought a punnet of plums and made tea cakes, recipe as before. They were fantastic, I topped them with a lot of fruit which kept the cakes nice and moist.

The baking didn’t stop there. As much as I don’t like to start thinking of Christmas that early in the year unlike all the shops that are already fully stocked and prepared, I decided to make a Christmas cake which demands to be made well in advance. The cake will be fed with brandy till December. Unfortunately I cannot share the recipe – I got it from my mother in law and swore not to give it away, a family secret I suppose. So I will only post the picture of the end result.

If you fancy making one Nigel’s recipe looks very good.
