This weekend I have been up to my elbows in food as I have a freelance gig on at the moment that requires quite a few new recipes. It’s been fun though. I popped 6Music on the radio and pottered away for hours cooking, photographing, editing, cleaning and writing. I also made a Rum Cake as my leaving gift for my temp job on Monday. I call it the Rum-dum-dum-dum-dum cake because bad puns are always necessary during the party season (that’s a massive lie – puns are for life, not just for Christmas). But, basically, it is a rum cake which tastes delicious with a dollop of extra thick cream.
Pop over to Domestic Sluttery for the recipe.

Hello Elizabeth,
Sorry to disturb you, i found your blog from an old comment you made there:
http://www.ameliasmagazine.com/earth/jam-jars/2010/04/28/
in which you said you collected jam jars.
I’m desperatly looking for last year’s Marks & Spencer 125th anniversary old-fashioned design blackcurrant jam.
it looked a bit like this:

the page is in french but at least you can see the picture.
So maybe have you got a spare one?
Thanks

Hi Fabien,
Sorry I don’t have the jam jar you are after. Good luck with your search for it!
Elizabeth.
Thanks for your answer. Enjoy the Xmas season.
That cake looks all sorts of yum – I’m always so in awe of your recipe posts, as I struggle to follow even basic recipes, let alone make anything up myself!
Hope you have an ace Christmas! x
