After dinner tonight we had chopped apple cake. Wanted a dairy free cake - this one uses oil instead of butter.
Recipe calls for bicarb soda, but I don’t think any of the other ingredients are acidic. May try with baking powder next time. Looks like a brick!

Just pulled these cheese & coconut buttons out of the oven. Omg the aroma is wonderful. They have a pinch of cayenne for a bit of a kick. Very easy to make. Serve with a drink or just gobble them up. 🍽️🍜🧀🧈🥥

Spoke to my niece last night, she’s staying at the hospital with Kim. Kim doesn’t want a funeral, they’d talked about it in depth and it was very reassuring for my niece to know Kim’s wishes. So talk to your family, let them know your wishes. It’s a gift to your kids.

Two more Christmas cakes in the oven. Hopefully the last I need to make this year. That’s 8 in total.
These are boiled fruit cakes and only cook for 60-70 minutes, so relatively easy. Phew.

Making a gluten free Xmas cake for my sister. It’s still in the oven. Made this little one so we could try. Be unforgivable to gift a cake we hadn’t sampled.

Two more rich fruit Christmas cakes. Now for a big drink of spiced rum and a slow cool down. Fruit has been macerating for a month. House smells very good. 🍽️🍜🎄🍇🍒🍹

Christmas cake No 1.2. Hopefully this is good. I used a boiled cake recipe so didn’t soak the fruit. Have it a drink of rum straight out of the kitchen. Smells fabulous. Now for a long slow cool down. 🍽️🍜🍇🍒🍹

When humans look at something we find beautiful our brains release dopamine, lifting mood & if we connect with what we're looking at oxytocin, giving us a sense of belonging.

Dinner tonight was leftovers followed by delicious black bottom cupcakes served with blueberries. They are simple chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese topping. Recipe from @smittenkitchen.bsky.social.
