This weekend was as crazy as most, J3's swimming lesson, J4's gym class, getting materials for building, J1 golf , buying a new mattress and the neverending household tasks that spiral around our static centres. J1 managed to do quite a bit on the playground - looks like we have to wait another weekend till its finished, as the slide won't come till Tuesday.
Its getting colder!
I don't have a picture of this cake - it was eaten before I could blog it.
Cherry Almond Cake (with variations)
200g butter
200g sugar
4 eggs
200g ground almonds (or hazelnuts)
100g grated cooking chocolate (or dark chocolate drops)

1 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
75g wholemeal flour
