Our very lovely puppy who is now 7 months. A beautiful warm day for snoozing on the patio.
The cake : Nigella's mother-in-law's madeira cake, with the addition of poppy seeds. From the book - How to be a Domestic Goddess. The recipe can be found here on the Nigella website. While this cake was baking I said that I thought it was a bit laborious to make but how wrong I was, every mix with the wooden spoon was more than worth the effort. Delicious!!

Oh how gorgeous. And the puppy is not bad either.
Oh I just adore your puppy what a little darling he is!
Your cake looks scrummy and with a cup of tea just perfect!
I must check out Nigella again. We were given a book and it was the first cookery book that we've given away as nothing appealed (two or three years ago). She must be good (TV/radio/DVDs). Perhaps I need to look at her other books?
Your pup on the other hand makes me want to bury my face in her silky fur. She's beautiful and delicious.
I love madiera cake Amanda. I have several of Nigella's books. I need to dig them out and take another gander! I love your pup. It looks so comfortable there!
Nigella's Madeira cake is the best I have ever tried - what a great choice - wish I could share a slice with you.
The puppy looks so content Amanda.
D'awwwww, such a cute pup! I've been eyeing that cake recipe, maybe it's high time I gave it a try. Looks wonderful.
A wonderful post Amanda and goodness that cake looks heavenly especially with tea and a sleeping pup.
