DAY SIXTY-ONE

I had a busy day today. It started with me baking a cake for Taro's birthday. I then mowed the lawn for the first time since the beginning of Winter last year. We went out for a long afternoon walk, and then after helping to prepare dinner, I decorated the cake - which I think looks great.

DAY FORTY-SEVEN

The kitchen looked so shiny and clean today, thanks to Taro, and he was home to help look after Joshua, so I thought I'd bake a cake.

Here's the recipe to my Mum's yummy apple cake:
*125gr butter
*125gr sugar
* 3 eggs
* zest and juice of 1x lemon
* 200gr flour
* 4 tsp baking powder
* 3 soup spoons milk
* 5-6 apples cored, peeled and sliced
* cinnamon and sugar to sprinkle over the top
Combine all the ingredients 1 at a time, except for the apples and cinnamon mixture. Put the mixture into a baking tray that has been greased and floured. Decorate with the sliced apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Put it in a pre-heated oven to medium heat for 1hr.

Enjoy :-D
