Classic Victoria Sponge Cake (without the eggs or dairy)
The Great British Bake Off is back on TV – yippee! It’s such great light-hearted escapism, perfect after a long day at work.
Chocolate cake with Fudgy lotus/biscoff glaze
This recipe is the result of a total experiment involving an ignored jar of Lotus caramelised Biscoff spread that was sitting in the larder, looking all lonely and sorry for itself.
Mexican spicy polenta and corn cakes
I think there is a perception that Mexican food is on the whole quite humble and not refined.
Oreo Cheesecake
I saw a pin of an Oreo cheesecake on Pinterest and felt inspired to make my own version – there was something so appealing about the contrasting creamy white cheesecake mix sandwiched between…
Panko Crusted Pea and Potato Cakes with Tartar Sauce

I’ve realised that although I make multiple versions of this cake every year, I’ve never posted it as a recipe.
Cherry and Sultana Christmas Cake

I’m very fond of Welsh Cakes, I think they’re under-appreciated and overlooked in the world of teatime treats, unless you’re in Wales that is! They’re basically a little gri…
