It’s been a while since I posted a cupcake recipe, and I made these for a Strongwoman’s birthday a few months back. I’ve been slow at getting recipes out, but oh well. Hopefully you’ll stick with me through it all. I adapted this recipe from Life, Love and Sugar. You can find her recipe here….

S’mores Cake Bars
A while ago I was experimenting with brownies, but I didn’t have enough fat content and they baked a bit too dry. So, instead of lamenting, I blitzed them into brownie crumbs, and froze them for a later date. I knew they’d come in handy as a base layer for something. One day, while needing…
Brown Butter Apple Cake
Sometimes I buy apples, eat a few, and then leave the rest bit too long so they start to get a bit soft. But fear not. There are plenty of delicious recipes that use up apples. This recipe is quick, easy and only requires one bowl to mix all the ingredients (if you can’t be…
Vegan Choc Chip Pumpkin Loaf
I never really understood the American’s love for pumpkin-based desserts. I couldn’t see the appeal. However, I will raise my hand up and say that I was judging a book by it’s cover. Adding pumpkin makes a baked good incredibly moist, and the spices added (those normally associated with pumpkin-based desserts) add such a great…
Chocolate Sour Cream Cake
I love putting sour cream into cakes. It makes them so moist and delicious, it seems crazy that they are not a staple in all cakes. I know, some of you are going to be cringing at the word moist – but cakes need to be just that. Dry, crumbly cakes are not enjoyable to…
Chocolate Yule Log
I always used to look in awe at Yule Logs, I found them so beautiful and loved all the different ways they could be decorated. And, let’s be honest, I loved how much chocolate was involved. I have memories of Yule Logs as dessert at Christmas time, but I don’t remember them very well. I…
Christmas Peppermint Loaf Cake
I told you there’d be new iterations of the yoghurt loaf cake. And this is it, a Christmas Peppermint cake. I used a Nordic Ware decorative loaf tin for this cake, as I felt it was appropriate, and the design really felt Christmas-y. The peppermint flavours don’t overwhelm the cake, but be careful with peppermint…
Gingerbread Bundt with Cinnamon Glaze
I treated myself to some Nordic Ware Bundt tins recently, and I couldn’t wait to get started with using them. I knew that this incredible Gingerbread cake would be the perfect way to christen my Heritage Bundt Pan. Due to the size of my oven, I bought a 6-cup Bundt tin rather than the full-sized…
Orange Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
My final GBBO-inspired bake comes in the form of a chocolate cake. While the bakers had to make a chocolate layer cake, I opted out of the layers in order to bring this delicious, moist, secretly vegan chocolate cake. This cake came about after someone asked me if I could make a dairy free cake…
Fig & Honey Cake
I’m still working on a million and one recipes to use my Heilala Vanilla Extracts in, and I also received my copy of the e-recipe book created by Cloudy Kitchen. They 10 recipes that Erin has whipped up all look delicious, I just haven’t got round to making any of them yet. It’s been a…
Vanilla Latte Meringue Layer Cake
Week 6 of the Great British Bake Off saw Dessert Week – which meant a step away from traditional cakes, and a look at more luxurious techniques and styles. The signature challenge was a meringue layer cake, the technical was verrines (layered panna cotta type things) and the showstopper was a dessert bombe. I opted…
Pink Champagne Layer Cake
It was 1920s week on the Great British Bake Off, which meant custard tarts for their signature bake, beignet souffles for the technical and prohibition cakes for the showstopper challenge. And for the first time so far, I went for the showstopper challenge. Now, I must confess, my cake does not look anywhere near as…
