He asked for a Black Forest cake so that’s what I made. It’s a four-layer cake, with homemade cherry filling, fresh whipped cream, and shaved chocolate and raspberries on top.

I had a slice of Black Forest Cake for breakfast!
Cooking:
We have some Korean food leftovers today, but might want to cook some Singapore-style pork stew later this week. I’m also making some tangzhong bread today, and since I have additional heavy cream leftover from the cake making, I’ll make some scones too.
Last week:
I read:
The Hell Bound vol 1 and 2 – Yeon Sang-Ho, illustrated by Choi Gyu-Seok
The Islands of Chaldea – Diana Wynne Jones, Ursula Jones
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. This meme started with J Kaye’s Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.

It’s incredible that your son is 12. But the Black Forest cake is still a favourite.
