That feeling when you’re visiting friends for Sunday lunch, offer to make pud then realise you only have storecupboard ingredients & no time to get to the shops. Enter @nigella.bsky.social ‘s chocolate cake www.nigella.com/recipes/old-... & a couple of recipe sub’s and we have pudding 😮‍💨 😋
A round chocolate cake in the foreground, on a blue round tray. The cake is covered on top and all sides with roughly spread chocolate icing (no smooth plastering for this cook!) with some small gold sugar stars on the top. Out of focus in the background is a vase of flowers. 

Not as skillful as Queen Nigella’s efforts would be, but it’s hopefully enough to impress my god daughter.

After a fairly hectic and utterly sodden day, it was lovely to return home to this waiting for me. Huge thanks @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social for adding to my “to read” pile and to your mum for the stunning bookmark!
A picture of the book Everything Will Swallow You by Tom Cox. Peeking out from the top of the book is a bookmark with a dark red print of a cat. The cat is shown in classic loaf shape and looking up to the left. I strongly suspect it is assessing whether to leap out of the bookmark and find the stash of Dreamies in the house. My dog (not pictured) is so far unaware that there is another feline in the house.
