Walnut and Coffee Cake

I don't really like coffee, but it's not my birthday and this was what was requested. I followed this recipe here. It's a Nigella Lawson so of course it is completely gluttonous, which is ideal for a birthday cake. Unfortunately my attempt has sunk in the middle- a fact I've unsuccessful tried to hide with walnuts!

I think the dip  might be because I opened the oven at a critical stage

 I'm sure if it'll taste fine despite its looks, and even though I'm not a coffee fan, I'm sure I'll manage a slice or two.

double chocolate cookies

The recipe for these double chocolate cookies can be found here. They are a Nigella Lawson creation so they are v unhealthy, but taste delicious. The cookies are cake-y and slightly bitter, so go well with a cup of coffee.

Hibernation

It is far too cold to leave the house, so my plan for the rest of the day is to get tucked up in a blanket, crack on with a new book and eat suitably snowy looking, homemade lime cheesecake.

The recipe for the cheesecake can be found in Nigella Lawson's Domestic Goddess recipe book
