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…

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 #21: Cherry Cake
I’m trying my hardest to do a baking challenge: baking all the recipes in the Great British Bake Off book “The Big Book Of Amazing Cakes”, which was published to tie in with 2019’s series. What I hadn’t realised was that because some of the recipes had come from previous series, I’d actually baked a…

Amazing Cakes #5: Pineapple Upside Down Cake
I’ve always loved Pineapple Upside Down Cake. It was a great favourite when I was a child. I hadn’t baked one for a while and had yet to find a recipe I liked and was really happy with. Until now. It was quite by chance that I spotted there was a recipe in the book…

Cherry And Almond Loaf
It was Friday afternoon and I wanted to bake something. I try to make different things but it always ends up being brownies. This week, though I hadn’t got any chocolate in and there was no way I was going out to our local Co-op just for chocolate. Even though restrictions have been lifted, I…

Chocolate Paradise Slice
This has got to be one of the best bakes….EVER! I can’t get enough of these. I remember my mum baking some when I was about 6 or 7 when I had a birthday tea party. The recipe came from an old Ladybird cookbook. I still have it somewhere. There’s nothing quite like the combination…

Florentines- The Great British Bake Off Christmas.
Friday 22nd December 2017. Yet another new favourite from The Great British Bake Off Christmas book. I love Florentines but have only ever made them once before. They’re another perfect treat to make for foodie gifts at Christmas as well as handy for having around for visitors who don’t like mince pies! I don’t know…

Pineapple Upside Down Bundt.
Who remembers having Pineapple Upside Down Cake as a child? Did you have it for school dinners? I did, although when I was little I didn’t like the pineapple and left it. I remember a very strict teacher at our Infant School telling me off for not eating it and making me sit there at…

Chocolate Malteser Cake
Anyone who knows me knows I have a terrible addiction to Maltesers. I don’t know why I do, I just love them. These big “sharing” bags are a big joke to me as they have resealable tops. How can this be possible? I’ve never resealed anything that has chocolate inside it! Last month my baking cupboard…
