    Blueberry Cake recipe | via deliciouseveryday.com

    I love baking cakes. Cakes of all kinds - chocolate cake, lemon cake, apple cake, cakes of all kinds, cupcakes too. While the smell of bread baking is wonderfully comforting, the smell of a cake baking is even more-so for me.

    It's not just the act of baking the cake, nor the smell of it that is so inviting, it's the way in which a cake is eaten, or should be eaten, in my opinion.

    A cake is an invitation to slow down. An invitation to take time out, from this ever increasingly frantic world. A time to savour and enjoy the small moments in life.

    A cake should be eaten among friends or loved ones, or even in moments of quiet solitude.

    Take the time to let the cake crumble in your mouth. Each morsel slowly releasing its flavours. Each bite bringing more pleasure and ebbing the stress away as you slow down and savour the moment.

    With friends or loved ones, it's a chance to slow down together. A chance to connect, or re-connect in some cases.

    So take a few minutes out of your day today and savour the moment and a piece of cake. Perhaps a piece of this Blueberry Cake, or perhaps something else. You'll be glad you did.

      I really don't need an excuse to eat cake - ever. I consider it to be an appropriate food for almost every occasion. This cake, for example, would make the perfect breakfast - it has eggs, fruit and yoghurt, so it works for me!

      You are so right! Cake is the opportunity to stop what you are doing and enjoy a moment of quiet bliss.
      I don't think anyone ever bolts down cake on the run, it is always savoured. I would like to have a nice cappuccino and a slice of your blueberry cake right now! It looks divine!
