Oldie for FFffriday - even though it's Saturday!

Morning all. I hope you are well. Welcome to my new follower CARA. Thank you for popping in. My oldie inspired by Erika at Snappycrafts.  It is of a cake I made for a work colleague's birthday. I think most offices where a group of women work the topic of conversation on most days is food/dieting/cookery programmes and family, probably in that order too! It must have been one of the first cakes I ever made because it doesn't look as "refined" as my later efforts. I must have made it over 30 years ago! Yes, I added up all of the calories in the chocolate/icing/cake ingredients I used and it was probably only a loaf tin in size. I mean it wasn't a huge cake! Enjoy your week end. Next time I post I hope to have some very exciting news

    Thank you for the warm welcome.i love the humour of this cake and the effort of adding up all the calories which was nowhere near as easy to do in those days. I remember Mum buying books of calories and having to guesstimate if the brand wasn't in there. Cara x
