Here is a little something I cooked up last year. Today I will be stirring Irish tea brack which I enjoyed on my holiday in Ireland and combines two of my favourite things, tea and cake.  © 2019 Jacqueline Knight Cotterill.  All rights reserved.  

Having fun cooking on Halloween.  SOUL CAKES Kitchen witch stirs the Samhain bowl, soaked hedge berries mixed with nuts of hazel, steeped in warm spice and hot, strong tea, sifted puffs of flour sweetened with dark sugar, whisked with egg lift, candle lit to the spirits of nature and ancestors, each spoon blessed to best serve her beloveds.
