Chocolate Fudge Cake + Lemon Curd

Chocolate Fudge Cake, a marvelous recipe from the SUPER TALENTED May Clee-Cadman.

Recipe in this book - Cakes for Romantic Occasions

Lemon Curd's Recipe from Thermomix/Bimby main book

Fantastic Cake rich and moist with a loooooot of chocolate. Delightful contrast with the acidity of Lemon Curd :)

Carob Cake with Almonds and Squash Jam

I used some fresh egg yarn for decoration...I ate...I closed my eyes and I think...THIS IS MY FAVORITE CAKE!!

There are some simpler recipes but when it's about cakes I am an excesses person, I assume :)

In a little slice, fireworks of flavor!!!

Christmas Portuguese King Cake

This is one of my brother's favorite cake, so I made this as a gift for his birthday on decembre 19th.

It's a Must have on every portuguese Christmas table!

I had mix a little from both King and Queen's recipes from Thermomix/Bimby main book and add some tamaras. I also used candied peach, mango and pineapple, so it turns some kind of a Tropical Royal Cake :)
