Banoffee Cupcakes
This is one of my favourite creations to date… Banana cupcakes with spiced rum soaked sultanas, a toffee sauce centre topped with toffee buttercream. There are a few components to these cupcakes so they’re not the quickest to make but trust me… they are so worth it! Makes 8 cupcakes Ingredients for the toffee sauce...
Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Icing
I made this cake for a peanut-butter-loving friend’s birthday the other week. It went down an absolute treat and people have been asking me for the recipe ever since. Thankfully I’ve finally got around to typing it up so I hope you all enjoy it! It’s incredibly easy to make. If you able to, I...
Oreo Cheesecake
I made a giant 11″ version of this over the bank holiday weekend. As per usual it went down an absolute storm so I thought it was about time I shared my original recipe with the Peach Trees crowd! It was originally inspired by a trip to The Cheesecake Factory in San Francisco where I...
Cherry & Almond Cake
I have adapted this recipe from a madeira sponge – a cake I adore due to its dense but light texture and it’s delicious crust. I have replaced part of the flour with ground almonds, added the almond’s best friend, the cherry, and given it a final almond hit with the amaretto. The result: a...
Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge Cookies
So I can vouch for the fact that Ashley is THE QUEEN of peanut butter cookies, but this is my little offering which I have adapted from a Magnolia Bakery recipe. Sweet, salty, chewy, crunchy, chocolatey, fudgey and melt-in-your-mouth…. Say no more… Ingredients 185g plain flour 3/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda 1/2 tsp baking powder...
Belly Pork, Chorizo & Bean Cassoulet
This recipe is always a winner for any occasion from a simple supper to a decadent dinner party. Slow cooking the pork for a couple of hours renders the fat so you end up with beautifully tender and soft meat suitable for any Jack Sprat. This recipe will feed 8-10 but you can easily halve...
Caramel Cake
It’s chocolate week this week and although it may not be apparent from the title, this is my topical recipe offering! Instead of going all out, I wanted to show you how chocolate can be used to enhance the flavour of a cake. Over the last week I have been on a quest to devise...
Coffee & Macadamia Cupcakes
These cupcakes could work with a multitude of different nuts but I decided to veer away from the classic walnut and use my favourite, the macadamia. The sponge is deliciously fluffy with a mellow coffee flavour without being too sweet. The light airy icing packs an extra coffee punch and topped with toasted macadamias and...
Subtly Citrus Poppyseed Cake
This weekend experiment turned out to be a real winner! It’s a twist on a classic Victoria sponge which I have entered into this month’s delicious magazine ”delicious. cooks” challenge. Simply add the grated zest of an orange and a lemon and 50g poppyseeds to the classic recipe and team with vanilla buttercream for a delicious alternative...
Lemon & Blueberry Cupcakes with Almond Streusel Topping
There’s one thing that Britain does brilliantly and that’s berries! I came up with these little cakes on a whim, I had lemons that needed using and bundles of blueberries in the shops. They are the perfect delight on a summer (or not so summery) afternoon: light zesty lemon sponge with juicy blueberries and a...
