• International Coffee Cake Day-Coffee and Walnut Cake #100bakes

  

  Today (Thursday April 7th) marks International Coffee Cake Day! Can’t beat a nice bit of Coffee Cake and my Coffee and Walnut Cake always goes down a treat. A tearoom classic, I love a slice of this if it’s ever on the menu anywhere I go. Mr S doesn’t like sickly sweet cakes and lots […]

  October 17th 2021. It’s been over a year since I set myself the challenge of working my way through the bakes in The Great British Bake Off Book Of Amazing Cakes. I’ve only managed about half of the recipes and it’s getting to the stage where there are some bakes that I might not be […]

• Amazing Cakes #9: Coffee and Salted Caramel Cake

  

  While we’re self isolating and Mr S is working from home sometimes he likes to have something with a cuppa to keep him going on an afternoon.  Last week’s Victoria Sponge had been eaten and he doesn’t really like gingerbread like the gingerbread loaf I made the day before.  So on Sunday morning I planned […]

• Hummingbird Cake- Mary Berry Everyday.

  As soon as I saw Mary Berry’s new book Everyday I had to bake the Hummingbird Cake recipe from the book. A while back I’d made some Hummingbird Cupcakes which had been very popular with everyone who tasted one.  So I was keen to test out a big cake version of this “Southern US classic […]

• Walnut, Gorgonzola and Pancetta Fusilli.

  My family and I love travelling (money and time permitting, of course). So when Ingham Lakes and Mountains asked me if I would like to create a recipe inspired by one of their holiday destinations for their #InghamsFoodieFinds campaign, I jumped at the chance. Nearly five years ago Mr SmartCookieSam took me to Italy for my […]

• Coffee and Walnut Sponge Cake from Delia’s Cakes

  

  I’m beginning to catch up with my blog posts now, this week has been a bit of a mix up as I’ve been recovering from a minor operation.  Thankfully all went well and I’m more or less back to normal now despite still feeling tired. The operation took place on Monday but before that I […]

• Cheddar, Apple and Walnut Loaf- The Great British Bake Off Everyday

  A lot of my bakes have been sweet ones recently but I was keen to try out a recipe that was listed in the Cakes section of the latest Great British Bake Off Book- The Great British Bake Off Everyday.  It doesn’t contain sugar but it is a savoury loaf where the sweetness comes from […]
