Ohhhhh, that sounds intriguing!  Can I ask what it is? I'm scrambling around for ideas now as I have to make a birthday cake to feed 40 for next weekend  :o

It's a scratch cake made with champagne.  The filling is a strawberry swiss meringue buttercream.  I will post the recipe in my blog later tonight.  I have tasted the scraps with the buttercream and they are delicious.  I thought strawberries and champagne would be a good cake for someone celebrating her 60th birthday.

Made Nigella's Clementine Cake.  Have made this loads of times, but this one turned out the best.  It calls for ground almonds, but I only had 100g of ground, but tons of flaked almonds.  Put the flaked almonds into the Magimix and ground, then added the clementines, etc.  Because the Magimix doesn't grind as fine as my blender (which I used before), this version had more texture and oddly enough, more flavour.

Served it tonight with a scoop of Green & Blacks organic chocolate ice cream. OMG -- to die for!  The best plain chocolate ice cream I've had since leaving the US.  *drool and double drool*
Insert wonderfully creative signature here …

I made Brownies (From a mix) a big step for me.  They are really good too!

This sounds amazing!! Will definitely try it some time soon...maybe next weekend when I am home alone.  Then I can eat the whole thing and nobody would ever know  ;D  Green and Blacks ice cream....YUM

A really nice batch of banana bread loaded with chocolate chips.  I have a slice sitting on my desk right now....resisting eating it until my coworker arrives!

I made Nigella's Lemon Meringue Cake yesterday to take to Sunday lunch with friends.  It was soooo good!  Will definitely become part of my regular dessert collection!
