It's been a while...

Between a lack of time and a lack of motivation, I don't bake very much any more. Which is a shame, as I still enjoy it, but it does take quite a lot more impetus for me to bake nowadays. But Jen and Julian coming over for dinner tonight is a good enough reason for me! I'm doing a cake that I've already baked twice, but it's a gloriously sunny day and it actually finally feels spring-like, and this cake just feels right for today; plus it's one of my absolute favourites. I'm baking this pear and almond cake - I just hope that my baking skills haven't all vanished in my hiatus!
