Rainy Day Cake

It's supposed to be the hottest part of summer - today? 24C and rained all day!! We've had such a lovely day! Sometimes being forced to stay home is good. I've finally put away a few piles of clean laundry, done the dishes and just hung out with my girl.

We've had this book from the library the past couple of weeks, and Evie loves it (she also loves that the little girl looks like her, although Evie's hair is 'very long'!). Today we finally made a chocolate cake together (the recipe is in the back of the book - ours came out dry, not sure if its the recipe or my oven).

I had such a good helper - she loved mixing, cracking eggs and especially licking the bowl!!

ps - made these banana oat muffins the other day - really tasty sliced with plum jam, yum!
