Sometimes the simple things are the best and this cake is so easy to make. Its lovely and moist and if you use really good quality cocoa and vanilla bean paste it tastes fab. There is no faffing with icing or glazes and because of this it makes an ideal lunchbox cake as there is no sticky mess to deal with afterwards!

There was a definite chill in the air this weekend. Autumn is well and truly here in Cornwall and I for one am glad  - its my favourite season. I love the bonfires, the quiet beaches, cosy evenings in front of the fire, long walks picking blackberry's, crumbles with lashings of custard   and warming comfort food such as this dish.

My in-laws allotment is making up for last year. They are literally drowning in produce - this weekend they had a bit of a courgette situation so kindly donated some to us, along with beetroot, broad beans and french beans! As I had some spaghetti leftover from the night before I decided to make a spaghetti frittata with the courgettes and some feta I had in the fridge.

This is the second installment in my Kenwood Christmas Menu feature. This weeks theme was preparing the pud......however as most of my family aren't Christmas Pudding lovers I decided to make an alternative Christmas themed dessert using my Kenwood Chef Titanium . This Chocolate Orange Cheesecake is no bake and so easy that even my husband could make it.....I think! I used the Kenwood Chef Processor attachment to blitz the biscuits and then the standard bowl and paddle attachment to mix the cream cheese and chocolate together. I've used a combination of dark and milk chocolate but if this is for adults only I would probably use all dark chocolate. Don't forget to have a look at what Karen at Lavender and Lovage , Sian at Fishfingers for Tea, Becs at Lay The Table and Eliza at The Recipe Blog have created this week too.
