Sultana, Apricot and Marzipan Loaf Cake
Did you know that (January 12th) is National Marzipan Day? I didn’t, until a couple of years ago and found a few posts on Twitter. Last year I celebrated this with a delicious Marzipan, cherry and almond Cake: National Marzipan Day cake which was absolutely scrumptious. This year I had half a packet of marzipan…

Marzipan, cherry and almond Cake: National Marzipan Day
Today is National Marzipan Day! To be honest, although I love marzipan, I only bake with it at Christmas, Easter and for traditional fruit cakes. I never bother with it at other times of the year. I see it as something you use for special occasions. Even if it isn’t used as a layer for…

Amazing Cakes #14: Almond Poppy Seed Bundt
This recipe has been a great favourite bake from Amazing Cakes From The Great British Bake Off. It was created by last year’s winner David Atherton. According to the recipe introduction it was his “favourite recipe from when he was growing up- he’s always been obsessed with the flavour of almonds.” I love almond recipes…

Great British Bake Off Signature Bake- Florentines
I just love Florentines so I was really glad to see them featured as the Signature Bake on the Bake Off’s Biscuit Week. I don’t really think of them as biscuits though, more like chocolates. They’re something I always associate with Christmas and foodie presents though. I think they’re so pretty and the colours shine…

Apricot and Almond Flapjacks.
Finally getting back to normality, if there is such a thing. Over the weekend I really fancied baking some flapjacks as I have loads of porridge oats in the cupboard. They are meant to be for breakfast though, Sam! But who can resist a chewy flapjack? I can’t, and unfortunately they’re a mega downfall for…

Chocolate Cherry Bakewell Loaf
It’s been a couple of months at least since I’ve been to a Clandestine Cake Club event. I’ve been working full time and I haven’t baked much recently. The Clandestine Cake Club’s VCake Events are a fantastic idea if you can’t get to an event but you still want to bake. I love taking part…

Mary Berry’s Cherry Cake- Great British Bake Off Technical Challenge.
I’ve already been back at work for over two weeks now but for our school training day at the very beginning of the year we always have a shared lunch. As I love baking I always bring in the pudding or some cake. This time as normal I brought along some peanut butter and chocolate…

Scandelicious Baking- Toscakaka.
I don’t miss baking and eating cakes when I’m on holiday in places like Spain. I think it’s because it’s far too hot to be thinking about eating cake and I’m not in my own kitchen. Although the villas we usually stay at have pretty impressive kitchens I’m happier getting a salad ready, cooking something…

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…
