Rainbow Pavlova with Orange Creme Anglaise
Unicorns and rainbows. That’s the general theme in our house when you have two little girls, no matter how non-Disney your home life may be! TF2 chose pavlova, inspired by an onside of Bluey. TF1 was on board as long as we could add colors. You see where that is going. One wanted blue and green, another pink and red. Eventually they collaborated on it being Rainbow. So many lessons learnt and we got to eat our cake too! :)
Happy.....
Just a bit of mid week smile in your mail! :)
Ricotta Coconut Cake {glutenfree}
I gave in to the flow of it all. I let myself be led by what happens in my day rather than striving for something that inevitably led to me being frustrated. And, allowing the space to come to me.
It is difficult, because, when I get that little window, all I want to do is sit down and have a cup of tea in peace. But instead, that is the time, I can feed myself in a rush, cook something for dinner, do laundry (and that included folding the clothes), get errands done that need relative quiet. After all that is done, I sometimes find time to cook and shoot something for the space. Those moments feel like magic!! Oh! they do, they do! Especially, when the fruit of the labor is cherished for longer than the labor itself lasted.
This cake is one of those wonderful fruits.
Happy New Year!!! WIth the easiest Victoria Sponge Cake ever!!
First, let me start with wishing you all a wonderful and fulfilling year ahead. My wish to you is that this year be full of Life for you - with all its twists and turns - so you may grow stronger, happier and more positive. At the end of 2019, I wish you may look back on the year and say how much better you are then than you were today! For that, I do believe a good dose of all things in the emotional spectrum is needed. In the end, we will remember the happiness and forget the rest as that is indeed survival but there is no happy without the opposite. So, I wish you everything, and a big ladle of joy that will help you live the life of your dreams!
Giving Thanks, Little Feet and Time to Breathe...
This cake is the first I have baked in 3 months! So, I felt I really must post it. And, it also helps that it is super easy to make :).
So, that’s it. I don’t have time to write more. But, do make this cake; because it is well worth relishing a slice or two of, in those stolen moments of peace and self-reflection :). This cake actually get better the next day and keep nicely for 3-4 days simply covered on the counter. This is thanks to the amount of butter and using the almond flour that makes for a richer, moister cake.
