Double Delight Bundt Cake – Chocolate Rum & Raisin and Coconut & Lime
One of my favourite ways to bake a cake these days is using my silicone bundt mould. With very little fuss, I can make an outstandingly tasty cake that looks as though a lot more work went into it, than actually has. When my uncle turned up to help us clear the garden a couple of months ago, I made him this double delight bundt cake. Cunningly, it’s two cakes swirled together to make one: chocolate rum & raisin and coconut & lime. When I say ‘him’, I clearly mean that we all got to indulge in a slice or two.

Oh dear! Arla Fibre to the rescue and a quick but effective breakfast ‘recipe’ from me for raspberry granola parfait.

Tin & Thyme on Tumblr
Just counted 16 individual roses in the garden. There may be more, as yet undiscovered. This was the first one out. Starts off orange, then turns yellow. It has a delicate scent too.
An afternoon at Hinton Admiral. Such glorious weather, such fabulous gardens and grounds. So many Wisterias and different colours too. Stunning peonies.
Haven’t made beet kvass in far too long. It’s so good for you, even beetroot hating CT will drink a glass. Looking forward to trying it in another day or two.
