Christmas Tree Brownies

November 2, 2022

2020 is the year to put up your fairy lights obscenely early and cook yourself whatever you bloody well fancy. I fancy Chocolate Brownies.

It seems a shame for these guys not to make an appearance, what with the spooky, misty evenings and everyone ‘going early’ on Halloween decorations this year.

The Easiest Coconut & Lime Loaf

March 5, 2016

Oh my. Have I got a back catalogue building up? Yes…yes I have. I keep developing and jotting down recipes. Testing, eating, altering, trying again. I write them up in draft and just don’t get around to taking a photo and posting them on here. Here’s one to be going on with. As with most […]

Lemon Loaf Cake

May 25, 2015

Sometimes you just need a no-nonsense cake. One for the weekend, obligingly providing slices of dense, butteriness with every cup of tea. One for when friends are calling in and you want to offer sustenance, but nothing too fussy. One to wrap in foil and take on a camping trip or to stuff into a rucksack for a walk on […]

Gingerbread

December 21, 2014

This old fashioned Gingerbread tastes more delicious than the simple recipe has any right to. Sometimes the old ones are the best.

Chocolate Dream Cake

August 13, 2014

Choose life: Choose a big meringuey pudding that takes up a whole shelf in the fridge and a weeks worth of calories in your belly.

Blackberry Jam and a Breakfast Cake

September 3, 2013

The idea for this cake came to me as I woke up this morning. I leapt out of bed declaring that I wanted some sort of breakfast cake. Is that even a thing?

Plum Cake {Cheese Cake}

Marshmallow Pavlova Cake

It's kind of marshmallow, doing an impression of a meringue, made into a fruity pavlova-style cake. You get me?

Triple Orange Drizzle

A loaf cake flavoured with orange, moistened with orange and golden syrup and drizzled with orange icing.

Rhubarb and Custard Cakes

January 14, 2012

The concept of these cakes popped up inside my brain one night whilst I was trying, unsuccessfully, to get to sleep. My best ideas often appear that way. I wanted to use the new season British Timperley Rhubarb that had just appeared in the shops (as suggested by Claire) and it made sense to add […]

Brandy Christmas Pudding Pops

December 9, 2011

Have you had enough of cake pops yet? I think I have. But I decided to share these anyway. I know how you like it when baking goes bad. I had good intentions. I decided to make them for a New Years Eve party and I thought I could make good use of a McVities […]
