Pineapple Carrot Cake …

July 28, 2015

I do love cake, and nothing is more delicious than a beautifully moist cake that’s packed with flavour … Hello, Pineapple Carrot Cake! This is a fairly dense cake that won’t rise much in the cake tin and once iced it’s more like a very, thick slice. You can probably freeze this cake but I’ve never had the chance because it never lasts long enough. As soon as my kids smell this in the oven, the come running! Enjoy!

This is one of Mum’s recipes and my favourite chocolate cake in the whole wide world. It’s soooo easy to make because everything just gets thrown into a single bowl and whisked … no fancy ingredients, no electric mixers and very little mess … love it! And the result is a delicious, light, fluffy cake with just the right amount of chocolate. This little delight takes about 10 minutes to throw together, so next time someone calls and says they’re coming for a surprise visit, here’s the answer to your prayers. And if you want to feel a little less guilty, … read more

Lemon and Poppy Seed Loaf …

July 2, 2015

I love lemon and I love cake … put the two things together … mmmm! This Lemon and Poppyseed Loaf is very easy to make and is probably one of the moistest cakes I’ve ever tasted … melt in the mouth goodness! I have used two of my favourite smaller loaf tins for this recipe because I find I get a more consistent texture through each of the loaves. I bought them from Daiso and use them a lot when I bake. They measure 18 cm long x 8.5 cm wide x 6 cm deep. You could bake this as a single loaf in a larger tin but you would need to adjust the cooking times and bake … read more

Vanilla Cupcakes … Easter Bunny Cupcakes …

February 26, 2015

Easter is hopping closer (pardon the pun) so it’s the perfect time to do some baking and get in the spirit. This is my family’s Vanilla Cupcake recipe that’s been floating around for years … and for good reason! It’s light, it’s fluffy, it’s absolutely delicious and it’s also a simple recipe that can be made and decorated for any occasion. I found these cute little Malteser Bunnies at the supermarket and with a little bit of icing and some pink sprinkles, they were just perfect to create a little Easter treat for the kids.

Apple, Peach and Date Pudding …

February 14, 2015

Nothing beats a beautiful pudding and it really is one of the ultimate comfort foods. However, for many years I avoided making one. They scared me a little as I was under the impression that they were hard to make. In reality, however, nothing could be further from the truth. This is such an easy recipe because all the ingredients are simply mixed together in a single bowl and then boiled on the stove top. For me, the real secret to most puddings is to soak the fruit for as long as possible. This recipe does suggest soaking the fruit overnight and that’s … read more

Slow Cooker Sticky Date Pudding …

December 20, 2014

Recently I shared one of my family traditions … Pudding Day. Every year, about 6 weeks before Christmas, my family gets together to make our Christmas Puddings in the old, traditional way. We use a family recipe that has been handed down through the generations, ingredients are mixed by hand and the puddings are wrapped in calico and hung for 6 weeks before being devoured on Christmas Day. Now, if you haven’t made a Christmas Pudding for this year, there’s still time and this gorgeous Slow Cooker Sticky Date Pudding is a delicious alternative to a traditional … read more

Banana Bread … Best Ever …

August 6, 2014

Nothing beats a good Banana Bread ….. easy to make, quick to cook, can be frozen, absolutely scrumptious ….. and this recipe will produce probably the best Banana Bread you will ever eat … true … would I lie to you! I can’t remember where I found this particular recipe but I’ve been cooking it for years. In most of my baking I use Gluten-free flours but feel free to substitute for the regular variety. I especially love the Orgran brand flours because they substitute cup for cup with regular flour and I’ve noticed no difference to the end result in terms of density, … read more
