Are you considering baking a cake for Mother’s day? my husband is away ski-ing (I know, alright for some!) so it looks as though I’ll be baking my own….and it’s going to be this one.

SO delicious – really, sometimes this job is absolutely no good for my waistline. Ahem. But then no-one forced me to consume 3 extra large slices.
