EDIT: this was meant to be posted on 14th February! So wind yourself back four weeks! I get more chance to bake and test out new recipes as well as trying out more complicated ones when I have more spare time. It was half term week and I had time to try out some recipes.…

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…

Lemon Polenta Cake
I had a packet of dried polenta sitting in the cupboard doing nothing. It’s not something I really cook with to be honest. I think I was going to cook a ragu type casserole to serve with it back in January or February and we ended up with something different. I read somewhere that polenta…

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…

The Great British Bake Off Christmas- Tunis Cake
Friday 15th December 2017. I must admit I hadn’t a clue what the origin of a Tunis Cake was. Mary Berry had made one on one of her and Paul Hollywood’s original Great British Bake Off Masterclass programmes from a couple of years back. I remember having a go at making one myself after seeing…

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…

Salted Caramel Chocolate Traybake
Last week I was getting over a nasty chest infection and didn’t have much energy. I spent about 9 consecutive nights sleeping on the sofa as it was the only place where I could sleep propped up on the sofa. I still didn’t sleep very well though and my back was in agony. I…
