Rhubarb and Strawberry Cake

I will be forever grateful to Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen  for coining the phrase ‘everyday cake’. This Rhubarb and Strawberry Cake is for when you just want cake. No fuss, you don’t want to impress anyone, just cake to have with a cuppa.

Lemon Cake

At Easter I was doing a bit of baking for a big family lunch. I made a full cake from the Chocolate Guinness and Baileys Cupcakes and decided to play around with a recipe for a Lemon Cake too.

Chocolate Biscuit Cake

There’s nothing too original about a biscuit cake but sometimes there’s nothing better. I have made a few different recipes for biscuit cake over the years but this one got the best reception.

Sticky Gingerbread

  This is another recipe from the wonderful Nigella Christmas. I promise that will be the end of my sweet treats recipes for a while and back to the proper business of real food. Well, for a week or so anyway!

Chocolate Loaf

  Well, did everyone watch the Great British Bake Off final? I won’t give away any spoilers here but I loved this series and was delighted for the winner. I had a day off on Wednesday so I decided I had to make a cake to have while watching the final. I wanted something simple […]

Strawberry Cake

I had a full punnet of strawberries in the fridge that were about to turn and was looking for something to do with them. Also, it was Great British Bake off evening so I needed to have cake!

Blood Orange Cake

I have been making this cake for years with ordinary oranges. It is adapted from Nigella’s clementine cake in How to Eat.
