Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mums out there for this coming Sunday. Do you have something nice planned for her? We if not you better hop to it, you can grab her a copy of my book from here. Or you could whip her up a batch of these mini brown sugar scones. I love mini scones, they look so cute sitting on the plate and the extra bonus is you can nearly fit a whole one straight into your mouth all at once, no being a lady here :)…

Caramel Cheesecake
I am an Aunty for the second time ever!!!!!!! How exciting and cool is that, this time to a beautiful little girl, Charlotte. I am so happy for My Big Brother, his beautiful Wife and my little Nephew, who now has a little baby sister. Another little Purvis has joined our family clan 🙂 I wonder what she will grow up to be, to do, I wonder what her loves and likes will be. She was born on Wednesday night, I haven’t seen her yet. I have to get over to New Zealand and check out her cuteness, which I know will be out of this world, just like my Nephew. So Happy Birthday to Charlotte, and welcome to this crazy world.…
Super Chocolate Fudge Cake Pudding
Just when you thought you could do no more chocolate after the easter overload, what do I bring you? Thats right more chocolate!!! This is one super indulgent cake and if you did go overboard at easter you should probably bookmark this one for a few weeks time – because it is AMAZING!!! I would hate for you to ruin the experience of eating it because you over indulged on other chocolate delights.
I had a very quiet easter, that is to say I was all on my lonesome. So me, myself and I did what we enjoy most – Baking. Not the rushed baking that I normally do of late, trying to get something out for the blog or batches of cakes to sell in the caravan. Me, myself and I did some ultimate leisure time baking. I took my time and enjoyed the process- all too often these days I have other things on my mind and I am rushing through getting the baking done. But over Easter I got some slow down the pace, put the breaks on, stop the train, pull the reins, good me time baking done. This wonderful cake was the result.
Now this baby will rise and will rise high like a sky scraper. However then she will sink, sink like a rock to the ocean floor. But do not worry- thats why God invented cream. To fill up the hole and cut through the sweetness. So I say winner, winner chicken dinner:). Then to top it off sprinkle with lots of scraped chocolate.
This cake is gluten free as it has no flour in her what so ever but lots of eggs. Making one super fudgy and ultimate chocolate delight. This cake is to good too be called a cake its more like a pudding. The super chocolate fudge cake pudding. Mmm I like the sound of that. I say the next diner party you go to and you want to impress make this baby. Go on do it!!! You’ll be a favourite friend forever, I promise. 😉
Happy Baking Ladies and Gentlemen.
