Cake # Four - Chilli Chocolate Cake

What kind of cake could warm you up on a cold morning more than a Chilli Chocolate Cake. We bought a Chilli plant last week and it inspired me to search for a cake recipe that used chillis. I'm a bit of a fan of hot chocolate with chilli from Patagonia in Queenstown, so naturally this cake appealed to me.
After a quick and chilly trip out on the farm to catch the early morning light it was great to thaw out inside again and get down to a wee bit of baking.

 It was SO cold out there this morning that I was actually looking forward to getting back inside to start baking - who would have thought I'd ever look forward to baking!!


 Last week I brushed off my Gran's silver cake forks, so this week it's a wee tribute to my Grandi who used to make all sorts of things out of wood.....when we got married he gave us the utensils, the utensil container and the egg holder. It's so special to me to have treasures in my home that my loved ones have made for me.

 
    From this...... to this.... I know which one I'd rather be nibbling on.


    Just a wee peek at my little corner of the world as it looks in the middle of winter.
    Loving that moody sky


Have a great weekend everyone and keep warm.  See you all next week for Cake # FIVE!!
