Cakes because it's Friday

At least once a week at work I get asked if I have any cake, the worst culprit for this is my boss.  Thursday night I was at a loose end and thought I would do some baking, I scoured Nigella's website and found some new recipes to try, a chocolate fudge cake and a Madeira cake.

The chocolate cake was divine, gooey and moist but not sickly sweet, the recipe baked a lovely sized cake too, you can find the recipe here.  I didn't adjust it at all and would definitely make it again, it went down well with my work colleagues too.

I decided to make the Madeira cake in my ring tin as I'm still playing with it!  It overflowed a bit once cooked but not too much, I trimmed it when it was still warm and it was a bit crumbly, next time  will leave it to cool completely before doing this.  I made a lemon icing for the top just with icing sugar and lemon juice, it was delish.  You can find the recipe here
