Happy Baking Monday

Posted on September 21, 2009May 27, 2010 by BritMumInNZ

Sophie and I started the week by baking a simple fruit cake from our trusty Be-Ro recipe book. I love the smell of baking and the house is now filled with the most wonderful, wholesome aroma. We gave this cake a big thumbs up for simplicity to make, little mess to clean up afterwards and, most important, it tastes divine!

Sophie loves to bake and is so good at encouraging me (as this never used to be an area I was comfortable in!). Thankfully, I’m slowly being converted and thoroughly enjoyed this appetizing start to the week.

Also check out Sophie’s Banana Tea Bread (yummy!).
