Dundee Cake
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve been able to bake and I’ve really missed it. Our kitchen has had a revamp- a new floor, painted walls and soon to have new light fittings. Why not a completely brand new kitchen? For a start there is nothing wrong with our old one and we…

Empire Biscuits
I don’t know what it is about Empire Biscuits but I love them! I can’t even say why I love them but they’ve always been my favourite biscuit. Before I had the children, years ago you used to be able to buy them in my local Sainsburys from the bakery counter. Every Saturday we used…

Cherry And Almond Loaf

Cherry and Almond Traybake from Mary Berry’s Baking Bible.
I love baking traybakes. They’re so useful as a little goes a long way if you need to bake for a coffee morning or a bake sale. They’re great for when I have to do my turn for WI supper as they can easily be cut up into little fingers or squares so that everyone…
