A couple of weeks ago on Supplemental, Ed Smith mentioned a pear and ginger cake by Nadiya Hussain and I started researching loads of recipes. It took me a while to cop on to myself and realise that I’m not a fan of ginger cake so why would I think pears would change that?!
It’s blackberry season! I love these little berries and if you have time on your hands to wander among some hedgerows, they are available for free all over the country. I got a lovely gift of delicious homemade blackberry jam and decided I had to make a Blackberry Sponge Cake with it.
Simple Strawberry Slice – nothing like a bit of alliteration to excite the nerd in me. I thought it was time for another sweet recipe and with strawberries really at their peak right now, a simple recipe is the best way to show them off.
Cherry Clafoutis is a dish I’ve been meaning to blog with some time. However, as was said to me on Instagram last night, it’s hard to resist eating the fresh cherries before they get added to the batter!
…take 2! Once again in my over enthusiasm I hit publish instead of save when starting to type up this post. So last night some of you got an email with some lovely pics of my Chocolate Pots, but no text. I clearly can’t contain my excitement when it comes to chocolate recipes!
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.
This is a nice seasonal recipe but really it can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
Yes I am aware that this dessert does not contain either fruit or jelly but I am still calling it a trifle! It’s got layers of cake, booze, custard and cream. So in my book, it’s a trifle.
