A Note and a Rustic Hazelnut Blackberry Cake with Mascarpone Cream

Hi friends! So I just wanted to quickly pop by to say that I’m still alive and around and well and kicking and cooking. My current schedule is bursting at the seams with work but I am not going to complain – in this day and this economy it’s a good thing to have.

So yes I’m hovering around and stuff, but I haven’t had time to properly sit down and post the regular content, but hey, I made this sloppy rustic cake this morning (5:45am alarm to bake and assemble, yah…insanity) and even though it ain’t the fanciest it was SO TASTY! I used all the blackberries I picked with friends over the weekend and made the cake in a jiffy. NOTE: picking blackberries is the most amazingly painful task, you bleed, you get attacked by wasps, but the reward is SO WORTH IT.

Anyways, I didn’t post the recipe for this cake, but if you do crave it let me know and I’ll upload it! recipe coming up tonight so check back!

Hope you’re having a wonderful summer so far and you’re getting to do lots of fun things!

Gab.

EDIT – I had originally called it sloppy cake, then my friends were like “gurl no, say rustic, never sloppy” haha – so there.
