Is it chocolate or spiced or a sponge? Tell us more
A sponge with lemon and cinnamon. Tbh Mrs MC did all the hard work... I'm just doing the oven watching.

Proper break this time
Sometimes a baking session is an afternoon with friends, friendly chatter over tea as the scent of scones wafts from the oven. Sometimes it is something to do when you wake; the powerful scents of yeast a rousing start to the day. Sometimes it is the frantic run up to a party, hours of stress mitigated by the joyous faces of those around you.
Sometimes, dear friends, a baking session is a drinking session punctuated by sporadic bursts of activity. A sordid mess ending at 3am in a pile of used piping bags... Maybe just one more choux bun, just a bit of creme patissiere.

I have the same recipe in the oven now but with added bacon.
I grilled the bacon til lightly crispy, chopped it up in to little pieces and added to the mix with slightly less onion to try and level it out.
I also used Red Leicester instead of cheddar this time for a change in colour.

Looks good, what did it taste like?
I make these when we've got a glut of courgettes in the summer:

The recipe sounds similar, they both have cinamon and lemon in them.
The addition of pine nuts gives them a nice texture

Apple crumble cake:
3oz/75g butter
9oz/225g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2oz/50g caster sugar
1lb/450g peeled, cored and diced eating apples, with some lemon juice to stop them going brown
1 medium egg, beaten
1-2 tbs milk
Cinnamon to taste
Raisins (optional)
Heat oven to 200c, and prepare a 7inch/18cm round cake tin
Prepare apples
Sift flour and baking powder, and rub in butter until fine crumbs. Add cinnamon.
Mix in sugar, then stir in apples, then stir in the egg. It's a dry mix! Add raisins if using.
Add milk to bind together into a stiff mixture.
Put in tin, smooth down and bake for 45 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
Cool on wire rack. Dredge with icing sugar if wanted. Can be served warm.

I made cheese scones and they were a bit flat even though I was super careful not to handle them too much. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but suspect the 'here's some I made earlier' pic on the recipe is not quite true

Adding bacon is A Very Good Idea

Up the bum - no babies!!!
Crumble cake here, too! Apple and raspberry...yum! 
Nectarine and blueberry crumble.
Made about 800g of home made butter, and Artichoke was adamant it was going to go off. So I was well up for making a rhubarb and apple crumble, 'til I realised that I was srsly wondering what to do with the nectarines and blueberries I'd bought this avo.
Fingers crossed!

Over the weekend I did a chocolate and guiness cake with cream cheese icing.
I could have eaten the whole thing.
