It's February, so I'm ditching the new year's resolutions to cut down on the cake, and getting back to baking!
2011 is the UN International Year of the Forest and TREE AID is launching its Tree Revolution, which will see 1 million trees planted, protected and producing during the year, and millions of lives tranformed by the benefits of trees.
What this means for Tree Cakes is an opporunity to celebrate the bounty of trees, and to look for even more delicious tree recipes. I'm keen to find some 'grow your own' tree cake recipes, ones that use ingredients from your own garden or allotment (or someone else's!).
If you're already a keen gardener, I'd love to hear your suggestions of potential cake plants. If, like me, you're new to growing, you might be interested in TREE AID's partnership with Blackmoor Nurseries in the Tree Revolution. For any tree bought, you'll have the opportunity to donate to TREE AID, and Blackmoor will donate 10% of the purchase price.
So, what are you growing? I've got blueberry and blackcurrant bushes which I'm hoping will fruit!
