National Baking Week...my favourite cake!

As you will come to notice I enjoy baking, I am by no means amazing but I do enjoy it and other than the cleaning find it a good way to relax.

In honour of national baking week I thought I would just share one of my all time, easy to make and blummin' tasty cakes from the fabulous Nigella Lawson, the Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake.

This cake is pretty much a sling it all in the mixer and go cake and the icing is easy and to die for, I have never known this cake last longer than a day in our house with everyone that visits having a piece!

It is easy to ice and touch wood I have never had it go wrong, as long as you let the ingredients come to room temperature it is a sure fire winner.

Best of all you can decorate to make as pretty or as plain as you like, it is our 'easter cake'.

My Easter cake, complete with chicks!

But I have made for birthdays and when I feel the need for a yummy chocolate cake or to take to a party.

A simple but gorgeous Birthday cake!
