Golden Syrup Sponge Cake- Mega Cake Fail!!
I have a great Annabel Karmel cookbook- The Busy Mum’s Cookbook. I use it for several different recipes so I thought I would try the recipe she has made for Golden Syrup Cake. Sadly both attempts have come out rubbery and unappetising so they have both gone in the bin. I will search for another…

Key Lime Pie Ice Cream
Tuesday 13th September 2022. I have been wanting to make Key Lime Pie for a while. Not only is it another challenge for the #100bakeschallenge poster but it’s one I’ve not made for a while. I think the last time I made it I tried to make a healthier version but it ended up going…

Amazing Cakes #28: Mint Chocolate Roulade
Baking roulades and Swiss Rolls always fills me with dread. They look fiddly and messy whenever I make them and the filling never looks neat when I roll them up. Or the actual sponge cracks so much. Roulades are usually made without flour and fat and are whisked sponges baked in a flat rectangular cake…
