No Martha Stewart


Here is the Victoria sponge cake that I made tonight, which I believe is called a pound cake in Canada. I think that the cake was going quite well until Veggie Hubby decided to pour icing sugar all over the top of it when I turned my back for a second! I was going to sift it. I nearly didn't take any photos but VH told me that I should still take some pictures, because I am no Martha Stewart. Very true.

Retro cake

Veggie Hubby and I made this pineapple upside-down cake last night. It is so yummy that it has half gone already. That is why I don't make cakes too often. We altered it slightly as our pineapples were in juice not syrup, but I think it turned out OK anyway. I wasn't sure whether to make it or not as thought it would be heavy and not very summery, but I have been eating it cold and think it is summery enough.

Other than that, I am feeling really a) exhausted from all the travelling b) hot as the weather is so hot these days, and our flat is like an oven c) hay-fevery d) my throat is on fire, I have a bad cold developing. I can't wait for a relaxing weekend, and having the chance to recover a bit from the busy few weeks I've had....
