Coffee and Walnut Cake

  

After arriving home from work today, I was in the mood to bake. I decided to try a new recipe from the BBC, a Coffee and Walnut Cake. 

Baking, and cooking too, makes me feel that I'm doing something creative. I really enjoy getting everything ready, mixing the ingredients, putting a little love into what I'm doing, the smell of the baking in the oven, the anticipation of whether it will taste good, or if I'll under, or more likely in my case, over cook it, as the timings in the recipe never coincide with the settings and timings of my oven.

But the cake turned out just perfectly. I was really pleased, and it does taste mighty good even if I say so myself.
