I can’t believe we are already in October. What an odd year, one I will be quite happy to see the back of as I am sure most will! Anyway, to baking! During my phase of fruit bundles from the supermarket, I had loads of pears to use up and in the interests of making… Continue reading Upside Down Pear Cake
So seasonally I am a little early for this as it mentioned being an autumnal recipe but given its an Aussie recipe from Coles I was probably right on time in the Southern Hemisphere! I’ve got into the habit of ordering a fruit ‘bundle’ when doing my shopping which always comes with pears (and apples… Continue reading Honeyed Pear Teacake
I’ve never quite managed to perfect the scone and this attempt was no exception. I think I am rolling them a little too thin or perhaps not kneading enough as I never get that rise from them that others seem to manage! More practice needed, not necessarily a bad thing but I will persever with… Continue reading Scones
A couple of weeks ago we were short of biscuits (what’s a mid afternoon brew without a biscuit??!) so I wanted a quick and easy recipe to rustle some up over my lunch break (home working benefits…). I wanted something quick and not too complicated so these ones from Jam and Clotted Cream were perfect!… Continue reading Oat and Syrup Cookies
Yummy, yummy chocolate cake! Despite appearances, I didn’t make this for Easter, it was a birthday cake and I had mini eggs lying around (shocking I know, who has spare mini eggs?!) I do like a nice chocolate cake, or just any cake, but I think I can overbake them sometimes and they end up… Continue reading Chocolate Cake
Another fruity cake for you to give a try! I’m not sure how I came across this recipe although I found some raspberries in the supermarket (at a bargain as they were close to their use by date!) and what better to do with them than to incorporate them into a cake! Makes it more… Continue reading Raspberry Bakewell Cake
You may have seen that I shared a link to this recipe quite a few weeks ago now. I had some frozen strawberries in the freezer that I really wanted to use up so, although this called for fresh, I thought I would take a risk with the frozen. I just tried to make sure… Continue reading Strawberry Glazed Bread
I first made these while I was awaiting the arrival of Baby Taylor who is now almost 15 months old already – where does the time go? My friend sent me this for those times where, whether with a baby or older child, you don’t have much time for sustenance. There have certainly been a… Continue reading Homemade Muesli Bars
So it’s been much, much longer than I hoped to post another bake but I just never seem to have a chance although I think I just need to manage my time better 😄 I started writing this in November last year (yes, over 6 months ago..) as I made this as a non traditional… Continue reading Pear, cinnamon and almond loaf
My first baking post in almost 8 months, I can’t believe how much time has flown. I have actually made this three times now but I am only just getting around to writing about it! This recipe was actually in a book I read on my kindle so I don’t have a link as such… Continue reading Orange Cake
