Dark & rich plum and honey cake


I would never ordinarily do this and I imagine a mega-blogger would be well in her right to hate me right now. But, let's face it, a mega-blogger with her thousands of fans has nothing to fear from me. The problem is the cake above, the most delectable cake I have ever eaten, barring all my mum and dad's, of course. Like buying the same pair of shoes as a friend (I did that once, she didn't like it), or turning up to a dance in the same dress, I copied a recipe post from superstar blog: Orangette. In fairness to me, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and we both share a love for Nigel Slater that would inevitably lead us to enjoy his food equally. I suppose what I'm trying to say in my long winded way, is that I feel guilty for this post as Molly had posted about the same cake a few days ago.
 
 Is a mere cake worth all this heart pouring? Yes, it certainly is.
