Happy 5th Birthday, Baby Boy!

The love of my life turns 5 today.

He is still so little and soooo cute.

Hard to believe that 5 years and 9 months ago he didn't even exist.

His teachers at his former German Kinderhaus told me that he was their sunshine.

He definitely is mine.

He is a mini-Hub. Though he likes fishballs like me.

He had an ice cream cake to share with his classmates at school.

Followed by a home-made Chocolate Cake with Cream and Strawberries at home.

And we're waiting for good weather to hold his Birthday Party where he'll get to invite his whole class to celebrate with him.

Bon 5e anniversaire, Baby Boy!!!

Light Chocolate Cake

230g self-raising Flour (sieved)

3Tbsps Cocoa Powder

1/5 Tsp Bicarbonate of soda

170g Castor Sugar

3 Eggs

150ml Crème fraiche or Mascarpone

150ml Sunflower Oil

Whisk eggs till fluffy, add in cream and oil. Mix dry ingredients well and add to the wet mixture. Mix well.

I make this when I do not want to have a heavy buttery cake.
