Chocolate Guinness Cake

This is one of my very very favourite cakes. And yes, it is as good as it sounds. This delightful cake, adapted from a Hummingbird Bakery recipe, isn’t hard to make, and is a great treat if you are feeling indulgent! This cake is delightfully dark and moist, and is incredibly moreish. A great addition to any party, BBQ or...

Guiness & Gingerbread Cake

Unbelievably easy and utterly delicious, this lovely recipe (adapted from Nigella) is sure to be popular whatever your plans! Be warned: it is incredibly moreish and you are more than likely to eat multiple slices (if not the whole cake). A fantastic treat to bring to a BBQ, and the kids love it too. Brilliant. You will need: 150g butter,...
