Apple crumble and Choclate Cake


The children are at home this week on their half-term break. We decided that today we would spend the day at home and do some baking.  I have baked with my children since they were both very small, but now my son 13 and my daughter 10, are much more independent in the kitchen.  Yet it is still cosy to get together with some cook books and decide what to make. Often it is the old favourites that we go back to however. Today top of the list was apple crumple, sticky chocolate sponge and fairy cakes....  and do you know how good kitchen smells right now?? 
 Most of my baking equipment I have bought second-hand, and it continues to  impress me just how durable they are.  My 1940's mixing bowl and green vintage weighing scales are still as good as they day they were made.  Clearly things back then were built to last.  Happy baking!  Lilly x
