Cadbury’s Crème Egg Brownies

I saw this recipe on Facebook of all places and just couldn't resist trying it when our friends Cath and Gregg came for dinner. They kind of sum up what Easter is all about for me - oodles of chocolate! Apart from being adorned with ever-so slightly melted Cadbury’s crème eggs - which I love - the basic brownie recipe that sits beneath them is gorgeous.  

Majorcan flourless lemon almond cake

For Mother's Day, my mum came over from Bristol and my sister Lizzie cooked us a lovely lunch of home-made moussaka and salad.  My job was to bring dessert, so I made this lemon and almond cake - it's a flourless recipe, as Lizzie is gluten-intolerant, but a very traditional Majorcan recipe rather than a cake with wheat-free flour, which I'm really not a fan of.  I much prefer to try and find an authentic recipe which never contained flour than substitute proper flour for something that I'm afraid always tastes to me a bit like sand!  This is a beautifully souffle-light cake, lovely a fresh for a Spring lunch.
