The Easter bunny has been and gone. For Easter I made chocolate muffins, I wanted them moist so I tweaked my carrot cake recipe. I replaced 2oz (50g) of the plain flour with 2oz (50g) of cocoa powder

INGREDIENTS 

1. 6floz (175ml) corn oil

2. 6oz (150g) caster sugar

3. 3 eggs

4. 1tsp vanilla essence

5. 8oz (200g) carrots

6. 4oz (100g) walnut pieces

7. 4oz (100g) plain flour

8. 2oz (50g) cocoa powder

9. 1tsp bicarbonate of soda

Ingredients

We have had a couple of family weeks and the weather has been kind. A few days in Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire visiting relatives in particular celebrating my nephews 18th Birthday. Alice went to Egypt for a week, enjoyed it but it was somewhat marred by having her ipod and money stolen as well as prickly heat. Bobbin has been given a spring hair cut, like a shorn sheep, she looks very cute though!

I just want to flag up the Blog Alice has just started Bake n'Beebz It's about a girl, a dog and cooking. Lots of mouthwatering recipes but with a healthy twist even ones for dogs!

Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas. 

We had a lovely family Easter, both the children were home plus Bobbin (dog). Alice and I baked, knitted, crocheted, made organza flowers and shopped, a bit of mum and daughter bonding. This is the recipe for the Banana Cake we made for Easter, this recipe is great if you want to use up very ripe bananas. For the topping we melted chocolate then decorated it with chocolate animals and Maltesers.
