It was Michael Bentley's birthday on the 31st of January, so as a gift I baked him a January Challenge cake.....thought it would neatly wrap up the challenge which Lucy had tossed in our direction at the end of last year....so I concocted a cake loosely based on an old tried and tested recipe which used up all of my remaining flour, muscovados sugar, butter, mixed dried fruit and apricots. It seemed to sum up neatly the nature of our task....so job done, challenge completed, all thoroughly enjoyable.
So thanks Lucy, great idea, interesting talking point and lots of fun.....although I have to say that I'm somewhat tired of carrots and parsnips, and am aching for a few platefuls of salads and greens.
Good luck with Vegan February.....good job it's a short month!
