Chocolate Almond Cake

I made Elizabeth David’s Chocolate Almond Cake for my sister’s birthday lunch. It is flourless so gluten-free. When I was Googling for the recipe I found it on this pretty cookery blog. I used their doubling-up method. Very delicious, I will make this again.

I gave my sister Dorie Greenspan’s book Baking: From My Home to Yours and made her this ‘R’ brooch from felt. It’s nice giving my sister gifts as I feel we are on the same wavelength so give each other things that we would like.

      I cut out an ‘R’ in felt and then stitched it, and added a brooch fixing to the back :)
