The Inkwell

#christmas #food #desert #cake #log

it begins with flour, eggs, cocoa and sugar

all meeting up in the family mixing bowl

when it comes together

the dough is rolled out on the baking tray

and it’s given a bit of sun in the oven

meanwhile candied peel and glace cherries

dance away in whipping cream

while chocolate melts slowly on the hob

there’s a ping – and out comes the sponge

and when ready – it meets the fruity cream

and then rolled up creating a festive spiral

before being drizzled in yummy chocolate

and left to settle in the fridge
