Love isn't considered or wise. If love was sensible, it wouldn't feel as magical as it does …
It is Valentine's Day today. It is a date which seems to be very polarising, with some people liking it and others loathing it. I am pretty neutral, but I think it is a good way of spurring people to express affection for their loved ones even if in the hurly burly of life, they forget to otherwise do so.
The Queen Baking Club recipe for this fortnight is Raspberry and White Chocolate Pound Cake. You can find the recipe online here. I thought this pretty red and white cake was a perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day in a hearts and chocolate box kind of way.
Did I also mention that this cake is delicious? It is moist, packed with raspberries, quite sweet because of the white chocolate (which is balanced out somewhat by the tartness of the raspberries), and is topped with a tangy cream cheese frosting swirled with raspberry juice.
Also on the subject of Valentine's Day, Krispy Kreme were selling Strawberry and Cream donuts and Chocolate Cream donuts in the shape of hearts:
I am not a huge Krispy Kreme or donut fan, but I enjoyed this tasty and visually eye-catching donut.
I hope that you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.
I love any reason to celebrate but don't really do Valentines Day in the traditional sense of going out to a restaurant.
