Pecan Pie Popcorn Naked Cake.
I love the trend for naked cakes (cakes with little or no icing on top). I have a sweet tooth but am finding a lot of buttercream and sugarpaste a bit too much when I eat it on a cake no matter how beautiful and delicious it looks. This cake is the third and last…

Banana and Peanut Butter Loaf.
I’ve baked loads of recipes from Lorraine Pascale’s new book “Bake” now. I’ve been really impressed with the range of recipes on offer from cakes to biscuits and desserts and savoury bakes. I can’t bake as much as I’ve done in the past which does make me feel upset. But it doesn’t do me or…

Lemon Curd Victoria Sponge.
Long time, no see! It’s been over a month since I’ve last blogged. My excuse is I’ve simply been busy working. Teaching full time on different supply contacts, doing extra shifts in a day nursery during the Easter holidays definitely took it’s toll though and by the Easter weekend I felt terrible. I went down with…

Pancetta, Cheddar and Chive Scones.
On Sunday, even though it was Mother’s Day I had a quiet day to myself. Mr SmartCookieSam was out taking part in a rally in his classic car, my son was working and my daughter is at uni. So for some of the day I was at home with the dog. I know I shouldn’t be…

Chocolate Orange Star Cookies.
The other day when I was in WHSmiths I ended up buying a copy of Lorraine Pascale’s new book “Bake”. I was only meant to go in there to buy some new highlighter pens and a notebook but I came out with them plus Lorraine’s book and a magazine. I was then meant to be…

Lemon Yoghurt Pound Cake- A Lighter Way To Bake (Cooking The Books, January 2014.)
January 26th 2014. Even though I’m trying to lose weight I just can’t face giving up my Sunday lunch pudding. You’ve got to have SOME enjoyment in life. A pudding after the Sunday roast rounds it all off nicely and although it can’t be a calorific, cream laden affair (now wouldn’t that be heaven?). I…

Mojito Cake
My husband doesn’t really care much for birthdays. To him they’re just another day on the calendar. Until he met me, that is! He says he doesn’t like a fuss and big celebrations but I think you should mark the day in some way or another. A few weeks ago we were talking about birthdays…

All Grain Nutty Seedy Soda Bread Loaf- A Lighter Way To Bake (Cooking The Books- January 2014.)
Sunday 26th January 2014. It was Sunday teatime and I realised we’d run out of bread for the morning. This is not good. We’d been very busy all over the weekend and checking the bread bin was the last thing on my mind. It was too late to nip out to the shops. I had…

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Cakes
A few weeks back I wanted to use up a tin of pumpkin puree which had been lurking in my baking cupboard. My family don’t like pumpkin pie so I looked through my recipe books and found a few recipes which would help me use this tin. I had made a Coconut Pumpkin Bar cake…
