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
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
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
As I may have mentioned before I really like lemon cake so as an alternative to the Lemon Drizzle Cake, I found this lemon tray bake recipe. I thought it would be easier to make with it being a tray bake and a good fit for a number of bakes. Its similar to the Lemon Drizzle… Continue reading Lemon Tray Bake
This is my last blog post for 2018! Apologies that these have been sporadic at times, I need to get a timetable for my baking for 2019 so its a little more reliable. Saying that, our own little bun is cooking away and will be ready in mid February so I will either spend more… Continue reading Banana and Walnut Loaf
Just in time for bonfire night, Parkin! Some of you may not have heard of this before but its a traditional cake from ‘up North’. I’ve actually never made this myself before although I have tried it but I can’t say I see it around that often given I live in Yorkshire. Like with all… Continue reading Parkin
You might have seen this in a post I shared a couple of weeks ago on my Facebook page. I’ve not got any better with finishing off my bananas before they go over-ripe unfortunately but I like trying out different recipes for using them up. That said, the Banana and Chocolate Chip Loaf recipe is always a… Continue reading Peanut Butter and Banana Oatmeal Muffins
I’m not sure what made me make this but although I had seen one or two recipes about I decided to wing it a little and make up my own. I kept my fingers crossed it worked but its all about experimenting until you get the right ingredients and measurements. Ingredients 175g unsalted butter, softened… Continue reading Golden Syrup Cake
Another week, another birthday cake! This was my own birthday cake…terrible I had to make my own! I’m sure my husband would have made (bought…) me a cake but I enjoyed making his so thought I would have another go at decorating again. This recipe is from Recipe Tin Eats and was listed on Pinterest as an… Continue reading Chocolate Cake
How amazing does this cake look?! I’m so pleased with how it turned out as its definitely the most complicated / elaborate cake I’ve made before. It was hubby’s birthday last Friday but he had to wait until Sunday for his cake to be made and even then he didn’t get any until Monday when… Continue reading Salted Caramel Drip Cake
