Lemon Lemon Lemon Cake
Yes that’s a lot of lemons! My eldest is one of those people who can eat lemons like an apple- no flinching at any sourness, thoroughly enjoying it as if it was as sweet as a grape. I’m not one of these lucky few and take my lemons with a good side of cake. This Lemon Lemon Lemon Cake is so named as it’s a … Continue reading Lemon Lemon Lemon Cake
Maple Butter Pecan Traybake
Possibly my favourite traybake ever! I’m definitely a pecan person. I absolutely love them (especially at Christmas, covered in cinnamon sugar) but the kids don’t particularly rate them quite so highly…until this cake. I have recently discovered Moose Maple butter (a blend of maple syrup, butter and pinch of salt) and I couldn’t wait to try it in cake form: so this Maple Butter Pecan … Continue reading Maple Butter Pecan Traybake
Vegan Banoffee Crunch Pie
Every so often I like to mix things up with a vegan recipe. Partly because we have vegan friends and family and partly because I like a challenge. The kids love a banoffee pie and the addition of Indie Bay rock salt pretzel bites take this vegan banoffee pie to the next level. Sweet short crust pastry, rich toffee sauce, fresh banana and a coconut … Continue reading Vegan Banoffee Crunch Pie
Creme Egg Doughnuts
Is it me or has Easter been a looooong time coming this year? I feel like I’ve been secretly hoarding chocolate eggs for months and it is in the top 10 most difficult things ever to not binge-eat them when the kids are in bed. We’ve previously made skinny doughnuts but these are definitely not so skinny… soft baked doughnuts topped with chocolate, icing and … Continue reading Creme Egg Doughnuts
Forest fruit Chocolates
Possibly one of the worst things that can ever happen to a baking addict happened this week…my oven broke! Well more than broke it full on EXPLODED! Now I’m not one for drama (lies) but I have never seen so much broken glass in my entire life! In all fairness it did happen after the kids were in bed and no one was hurt so … Continue reading Forest fruit Chocolates
Chocolate Beetroot Cake
I know; two chocolate cake posts in a row! But after acquiring a metric ton of beetroot from my in-laws’ farm it would have been silly not to make a cake with at least some of it. Chocolate and beetroot might be a classic cake combo but it was a new venture for me and the girls. Whereas the end result is a deliciously fudgey … Continue reading Chocolate Beetroot Cake
Chocolate Sponge Cake
Everything is a phase apparently, in baking trends, fashion and of course parenting- I’m really hoping that’s the case as my 2 and a half year old seems to be in a year-long phase of not sleeping through, spilling drinks for fun and attempting to run into traffic. On those days when it seems like the kids’ ‘pain in the bum’ phase is never ending, … Continue reading Chocolate Sponge Cake
