It has been a lovely birthday this year. Two close friends came over last night and helped me eat the Harvest Cake that I have been dreaming about for quite some time. Matt and Helen and Ant all agreed that it was very tasty--success! it is a recipe that really suits me; it starts off with grated beetroot, carrot, and courgette.
The batter is a mellow pink colour, not unlike the beetroot spice cake I made recently.
The icing is made with goat's cheese and cream cheese sweetened with maple syrup. So delicious. Although I chilled the icing as directed it was still a bit runny and so I tried to convince everyone that it was really a sauce. We served it with some Merlot, and enjoyed it heartily. (Nice photography, Helen!)

Happy Birthday Sare. Sounds like it was a fantastic one - Merlot included.
Happy belated birthday! That cake sounded very interesting - glad you enjoyed it! Love the flowers! Hope you enjoy your new washing machine and have a great visit with Ant's family!
