Iggle Piggle 2D cake
This was the first 2D cake I’ve attempted and it didn’t out too bad! It wasn’t too difficult or time consuming to make either, so maybe I’ll attempt more of these in the future.. Continue reading “Iggle Piggle 2D cake”

Bake Off: Cherry Cake
Great British Bake Off is back for another series and I couldn’t be happier, I feel as if my life is complete once again (I wish this wasn’t true, haha!) It’s a great show for baking inspiration and seeing all the different flavour combinations the contestants keep up with. This year, I’m going to try and and bake something from each week of the show (setting a big goal there, I only managed one week last year..oops).
First off, we have cake week.. the best week in my opinion (any guesses why?), so I decided to try out the technical bake, Mary’s cherry cake.. Continue reading “Bake Off: Cherry Cake”
Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips
Does putting fruit in a cake make it any healthier?! Probably not if you’re adding in chocolate.. I came across this recipe for chocolate chip banana bread and decided to give it a go. It seems healthier than most recipes (it came from myfitnesspal!) and uses coconut oil rather than butter/vegetable oil. Continue reading “Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips”
Blueberry Muffin Traybake
I discovered a new blog this week when I was searching for recipes that used buttermilk. I had some leftover from the doughnuts and didn’t want it to go to waste, after some googling, I came across Averie Cooks – a well written, beautifully photographed blog with some pretty good recipes to boot.
There’s a dedicated post to the best buttermilk recipes and I decided on the ‘blueberry muffin and buttermilk pancakes cake’, which I’ve just called a traybake for short, recipe follows.. Continue reading “Blueberry Muffin Traybake”
Mini Cakes
These little cakes wouldn’t look out of a place at a tea party, perfect with some dinky sandwiches and a cuppa tea. They’re a nice alternative to a cupcake if you’re looking for something a little different. Continue reading “Mini Cakes”
Pandan Chiffon Cake
This is one of my all time favourite cakes, very light and full of flavour. When I found this recipe by Christine, I had to try it out – homemade is much nicer than the shop-bought version! The cake gets is green colouring from pandan leaves (the shop-bought ones tend to have artificial colouring to make it super green). Essentially it’s an angel food cake, except it’s flavoured with pandan rather than vanilla. Not all that difficult to make, as long as you get the egg whites right..

Lemon Drizzle
Lemon is one of those flavours that reminds me of summer and I made this tasty lemon drizzle cake over the weekend when we were still enjoying the bout of sunny weather that seems to have deserted us already. It is to be expected, we are in the UK after all!
