I originally meant to add this to Jude’s second textures assignment but was distracted by a building in East London and then I completely forgot about it! Fortunately though there are five Sundays this month and so I can include submit it for Jude’s 5th assignment. I think this goes nicely with her lovely lichen and thanks to my header I can also include it in Cee’s more than one photo. Best of all though my Portuguese cake makes a topping inspiration for next month’s squares.

So creative to use the top of a cake for “textures”. I will think differently about texture after seeing your cake. Stuck at home like this, all I seem to be doing is making cakes and quick breads, orange coffee cake, maple pecan bread, all sorts. At the end of this quarantine, my teeth will be rotten and my closet will be woe-begotten.

I suspect our local free range egg sellers are also sold out.

Good luck . . . Instagram and twitter have been my salvation for finding things open and delivering.

Fantastic . . . we gave up having a milkman years ago because they stopped delivering early morning to deliver late morning and so we were often out. Not great when your front door faces south. Wish we had them now!

We still have eggs, but no flour (I still have) but no yeast. I tried a recipe to make some but didn’t succeed. My cake is very eatable but very bulky!!

As long as it is edible that is good . . . apparently bananas and fizzy drinks can be substituted for eggs. There’s a brilliant cook who advises on alternatives when the cupboard is bare – check out Jack Monroe at https://cookingonabootstrap.com/

We use eggs for dinner meals not baking. No yeast here either, though I do have some of that. Bread is available though!

I used to bake my own, but last year we cut out carbohydrates and stopped eating bread, cakes and biscuits in an effort to lose weight and get a bit fitter! Freshly baked bread is the best!

We have to hide half of MrBs in the freezer when he makes it so we don’t eat it all at once. I am as bad with freshly baked home made bread as I am with chocolate – can’t stop eating it!!
