CHOCOLATE MAGIC CUSTARD CAKE.

I've been baking again. More magic custard cake but this time with chocolate. The fantastic White on Rice Couple have come up with this amazing chocolate version and I couldn't resist trying it.

It's a similar recipe to the original. It does contain more milk, cocoa powder (obviously) and a couple of tablespoons of coffee. I tweaked the recipe a little and removed the coffee. I'm not a big fan, love the smell, not sure about the taste. It didn't seem to effect how the cake turned out.

See, perfect fluffy top with the magic separate layer of custard. I think I might like this even better than the original. This cake is amazing. It's a big thumbs up for chocolate magic custard cake.

OUT AND ABOUT: HAWORTH, BRONTE COUNTRY.

Bronte Parsonage, Haworth - Gathering Beauty

Easter weekend was spent in Haworth, home of the Bronte sisters.

A visit to the Bronte Parsonage Museum was followed by a walk to Bronte Falls and Bridge. We were aiming for Top Withens, the ruined farmhouse said to be the inspiration for the Earnshaw's house in Wuthering Heights but set off too late to do both.

The weather wasn't brilliant. It was freezing and there was still quite a lot of snow around from last weekend but it was definitely worth the trip.

It's nearly Easter and so I've got bunnies on the brain. Origami Easter bunnies to be precise.

You can make them yourself using this brilliant video.

And just in case that wasn't enough, here's a few more bunny related origami tutorials for you to have a go at.

Easy peasy sweet bunny faces can be found here.

Ever fancied making a bunny garland? They show you how over at hellobee.

And even though this guy looks a little more complicated he's next on my list.

Have fun.

It snowed last weekend. A lot. Here's a few pictures from a walk we went on in extremely inappropriate footwear (Converse, I love you but you were not ideal).
