As promised Recipe Sunday!!!

And to kick off Recipe Sunday.....

The most amazingly delicious Raspberry Cake!

Ingredients

1/3 cup plain flour
2/3 cup almond meal
1 cup of icing sugar
90g of butter melted
3 egg whites lightly beaten
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 cup of frozen or fresh strawberries

What to do

Preheat oven to 180 degrees (160 for fan forced).
Combine flour, almond meal, icing sugar, butter, egg whites and vanilla in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
Fold berries through.
Spoon into a greased and lined with baking paper, 18cm round cake tin.
Pop into the oven for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown and the centre springs back to gentle touch.
Let cool for 5-10mins then remove from cake tin and let cool further.
Cut and serve with fresh whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

Yum!!! I promise you this is the most amazing cake ever. And when warm the berries are like little pockets of berry sauce that explode in your mouth!

The added beauty of it is that you can double the mixture for a bigger cake or make it into cupcakes instead.
You can add mixed berries frozen or fresh, or try any sort of fruit that you like!
I think it would be wickedly indulgent with some white choc chips and the raspberries.

I have even served it warm with a raspberry and white chocolate sauce and ice cream as a dessert!

Hope you enjoy!

PS the photo was of the one I made last night with mixed frozen berries, was the best comfort food ever!

Hmmm haven't posted in ages

Eeeep haven't posted since January!! Holey moley, the reasons I am sure are numerous (went back to my paid job, lost my passion for sewing thanks to a dying sewing machine etc). But now am back!
I recently celebrated my 28th birthday and my awesome Daddy surprised me with a brand spanking new sewing machine, which of course reignited my passion for sewing.

So I have big plans of pjs and jackets for my boys for winter, softies (soft toys) to use up my scraps of material and I have 4 breastfeeding covers ordered and am just waiting on fabric to arrive.

In the meantime, winter is well on its way and the winter lurgies have made themselves comfortable in our household. I am still recovering, as is my hubby and my 10 month old is struggling after 3 weeks of different illnesses. So life is stagnating a little for now, but am sure we'll be back up and running soon.

In the meantime, I am thinking of some new ideas like Recipe Sunday, Kiddie Fun Monday and maybe some more.
So watch out for tomorrow post, I will post the most amazing raspberry cake recipe every!!! It is highly versatile and awesome warm just out of the oven so come on back tomorrow to check it out and it is an easy one!!

For now I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
