Five Star Butter cake
This is a recipe for a very versatile cake and is perfect for any occasion. You can alter the flavour with vanilla, chocolate, lemon or orange. You could even add the mixture over stewed apples to make an apple cake!
Easter Cornflake Cakes
Easter Conflake Cakes are lovely little nostalgic treats and bring back memories of party buns – really simple and scrummy. I have tried to make them a bit more adult and a bit more healthy by adding some seeds & nuts.
Perfect for Easter!
Almond Jelly
Almond Jelly is one of the most popular Chinese desserts. This recipe has refinded it slightly, making it wobblier and serving it in dainty ramekins.
It makes an ideal dessert after a big meal as it is so light and just slides down the throat. They’re great served with a skewer of lychees on the side and a lychee vodka shot.
Iced Ginger Cake
This is one of those cakes where one bit is never enough and going by how quickly it keeps disappearing in my house, everyone else is the same! Along with Caramel Shortcake, this is one of my all time favourites and I will keep making it for years to come. I hope you enjoy it as much as me!
Valentine Pavlova
A recipe for Valentine Pavlova – a heart shaped pavlova topped with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. You could experiment with different shapes. Perfect for celebrating any occasion!
Peach Upside-Down Cake
A recipe for peach upside-down cake, made with tinned peaches and a French-Yoghurt cake base.
Unlike other upside-down cake recipes this is more moist and pudding like, not dry and crumbly. Delicious!
Quick Chocolate Mousse
If you need a quick dessert this is it, you can refrigerate it but you don’t have to. It’s even quicker if you do what I do and stop before adding the sugar and egg white put the mixture into little ramekins and call it Chocolate Pots.
Kick back with cake this weekend
The weekend is a time to relax and recuperate from a hectic week at work. If you’re anything like me then it’s also a perfect opportunity to do some serious home cooking.
I’ve already shared our top egg recipes in “Enjoy eating eggs this weekend”. This week I’d like to share our most brilliant cake recipes!
Lime Cheesecake
Probably my favourite pud. This is the sort of dessert that can have all the ingredients adjusted to suit your own palate. I’m a right one for just chucking ingredients in various amounts until I think will taste nice. Most of the time it works and if it doesn’t , its really funny and I know what to change next time…. Happy Experimenting!
