oooh, thank you! I can feel a spot of weekend baking coming on now. This one sounds completely irresistible.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to taste it, Juliet, but it looked and smelled scrummy. Let me know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI've just noticed that the list of ingredients has changed its appearance between the preview and the publication! I hope you can make it out. I will try to sort it out tomorrow and also work out the measures and temperatures for other users. That would be too great a challenge for my tired brain tonight.
