SPANISH CAKE FROM THE ENGLISH KITCHEN

There are some amazing food blogs

on line and one I enjoy is Marie's

"THE ENGLISH KITCHEN". 

She now lives in Canada and 

her blog is very popular.  She

is also on Face Book which she

uses to point people to her blog.

Yesterday I saw her recipe that caught

 my eye for a little Spanish Cake with cinnamon and maple extract and nuts

 (I used pecans).  I went right to the kitchen after printing it out

 and we had some with our dinner and 

sent some to our "more senior than us"

 neighbors.  That sounds funny but

 seriously, he is 93 years old.

Marie's recipe was for one small cake

so I just multiplied the ingredients by four

and made a 2 layer cake.

Please help yourself to a slice and

have a cup of tea.

We are having a sunny January Day

and enjoying the brightness even

though it is very cold.  As I look

out on our fish pond all frozen

I feel sorry for the fish who just lie

still down at the bottom.

As January comes to a close

I hope you stay healthy and

happy.  Maybe you are already

in the kitchen getting ready to bake!
