Cake with Cherry Marmelade

Mix all the ingredients well and spread them in a regular family baking tin of the cooker and bake this mixture in a warm up oven in 200 degrees for an hour ( perhaps a few more minutes will be needed).You  can also use raising flour but in this case you shouldn’t use the baking powder and the bicarbonate soda.

Wash and clean the octopus well, put it in a pan with a little water and let it boil over low heat. Mix it occasionally. When the octopus is tender, cut its tentacles in 2 or 3 pieces. Peel the garlic and the onions and wash them. Chop the onions and sauté them in oil over low heat until they brown. Then, add the cloves of garlic, the pieces of the octopus, the wine, the bay leaves and the black pepper.

«Lord, grant me only humility and silence. I ask nothing else from You. Humility births love for all Your creations. I know that I am the greatest sinner, and no one else in the universe has embittered You as much as I, the despicable one, have. Help me to live with this every day. Do not let the devil fool me into thinking I am something when I am nothing. Grant me only to feel how sinner I am and help me to follow Your commandments to find mercy from Your countless love. Do not let me despair because of my sins but let me rejoice every day because You have mercy on me and will save me because You are compassionate. Do not let me have evil thoughts or judge my fellow human beings. I am to blame for them, and since I am the cause of their sin, I must only judge myself. Lord, Lord, do not deprive me of the river of Your divine mercy. Amen!».
