This cake sounds delicious. I’ll have to try it this month! I riffed on your blackberry chocolate cardamom cake last week and swapped out the blackberries for cranberries + topped it with a cranberry compote. It was so good!
I love reading about your simple yuletide and how you are celebrating in Edinburgh. For the fourth year now, I am doing a Yuletide program called The 13 Magical Nights of Yuletide: Messages from the Animals. I am hosting it on Substack this year for the first time!
Your decorations are so cosy, I love looking at the photos. And the cake looks delicious. Cranberries are not commonly found in the shops here in Norway, but I have lots of "tyttebær" (Which are wild berries, found all over Scandinavia. Lingonberries I think is the English name) in my freezer. The taste is very similar to cranberries only lingonberries are smaller. I might try baking the cake using those.
Thank you so much! That's so funny - we have a local Swedish bakery here in Edinburgh that makes lingonberry mazarin and I have hunted high and low for lingonberries (as they are delicious!) but can't find them anywhere here! Seems we have the opposite problem :) I think the recipe would be very tasty with lingonberries x
One of my favourite local shops is Cairn Candles in Grantown-On-Spey in the Cairngorms national
Park. Their start up history is amazing and all their candles, reeds etc are inspired by local scents and traditions. The other small supplier in East Lothian is Les socks(Facebook) designed and knitted by hand. Lesley only started last year so is building up slowly.
So many lovely reflections here; thank you so much for these timely and beautiful reminders 🙏✨ This bundt sounds delicious; it may be next on my baking list! 😋

Thank you so much, David! Enjoy making the bundt - make sure you tag me in any pics! ❤️
I will! It’s in the oven now…plus, I bought a new bundt tin yesterday with some birthday money 🎉
So lovely! I had the most cozy, simple holiday vibe as I sank down into your words and images. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Always what I am aiming for, so that's lovely to hear ❤️
