bean cake and treasure

Today, after the success of the chickpea and apple cake, I tried out a kidney bean chocolate recipe:
 It is so good, moist and tasty especially with cream and some strawberries). There is sugar in this one, but I think I will tweak it a bit, add some banana, reduce the sugar and fat. I'll let you know how I get on.
 It was certainly enjoyed by us all.

 Benny is really enjoying his treasure box. Since I gave it to him he has been putting special little things into it.
 With his permission I have taken some pictures of what he has put in it so far.
 Surely it is as good as a portrait, the contents of a four year old's treasure box.
 The most prized possession: one of Jack's whiskers
