Cake for breakfast

Yes, true confession!  Not really the sort of thing I usually have at home but my aunt brought me a Portuguese Honey Cake... dense and dark with molasses, from a recent holiday to Madeira.  I LOVE it!  It's called Bolo de Mel and is traditionally made at Christmas.  It's full of nuts and spices - and it keeps all year if well sealed.  I only had a small piece with a enormous cup of coffee. 
F a b u l o u s.


Unwrapping all that amazingness.


It's not a large cake and no icing... which makes me feel better - and the nuts and molasses are healthy, right?

 
 
Stop thinking so much... eat!

  1. Thanks so much, I am thrilled Oliver is better! Makes life so much easier!
    Mike however has torn a ligament in his leg and is on crutches - so one boy is better and now one isnt too good, so I am looking after the bigger boy in our family :)
    Cake for breakfast, I like the way you think! I am struggling so much to loose my baby weight so no cake for me.... but hopefully soon!!
