EVERYBODY knows it is World Baking Day on the 18th May, right? If somehow you live under a rock, there is still time to make your #PledgeToBake here. This year, the lovely folks from Stork sent the most amazing pledge packs to loads of peeps with awesome recipes and generous baking ingredients.
The idea is to pledge to bake for someone special on Sunday. No excuses here, we all have someone (hopefully more than one) special person in our lives, and I think it is just such an amazingly heartwarming campaign.
I chose to bake for my very talented mum-in-law, who just happens to be a very successful baker, softhearted human, loving mom, amazing woman and incredible grandma.
I was supplied with this magical recipe of Chocolate Brownies. Included in the pledge pack was some walnuts to add to the batter, and boy, does this really put the cherry on top! It adds a lovely crunch to the fudgy brownies – and believe me they are fudgy – and gives a deep nutty flavor.
It is a really great recipe from the talented team at Stork. I recommend putting your cake tin on top of another flat baking tray, as my batter misbehaved and rose over the edges. THEN, I challenge all of you, to bake something special for someone special this World Baking Day, and post your pics on Stork facebook or twitter page. Nothing like the gift of giving! Cheers!
