When it comes to making choux buns, I think the lighter the better - the lemon cream filling is so perfect for these buns. Combined with the sweet toasted meringue, you have just the right amount of sweetness to tartness!
Raspberry and Peach Crumble Pie
This is really a cross between a pie and a summery crumble, perfect warmed up and served with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream - because you can’t beat peaches and cream, can you?
Blogerversary Doughnuts with Sprinkles
This month my blog turns two - and what better way to celebrate than with doughnuts and sprinkles?
Bergamot and Honey Cake
Earl Grey tea is made using the oil from bergamot’s rind. I've always loved it, and was pretty sure I’d enjoy baking with bergamot. It sounds really silly to say - but it was amazing to cut open the fruit and immediately get the aroma of something I usually only ever associate with tea.
Chunky Peanut Butter Granola
Homemade granola is something we always have a large supply of. We’re 'dessert every day' kinda people, and sometimes (when cake isn’t an option) we have late night bowls of yogurt and granola drizzled with lots of honey.
Raspberry Jam Bostock
It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve decided that 2018 is the year that I bring brunch to my blog. As a millennial, I’m highly experienced with brunching, so it only seems natural to start sharing some of my go-to recipes. I’m not particularly fussy either - sweet or savoury, if there’s brunch on the table, I’m in.
White Chocolate Mud Cake with Pistachio and Rosewater
Whilst super sweet white chocolate might not be quite as sophisticated in comparison, I still really love it - probably because it reminds me bingeing on white chocolate buttons as a child!
Winter Wonderland Cake
If, like me, you’d rather opt for something a little less traditional than the typical fruitcake offering around the festive season, then this cake is perfect for you.
Salted Honey Pie
If you go to New York and don’t get pie from Four & Twenty Blackbirds, then did you even go to New York? In my opinion, you did not! Here's my version of a special Salty Honey Pie...
Autumnal Pavlova
It’s not often a pudding I make in the winter, usually because I love to pile on lots of fresh summer berries, but I seem to have bypassed the whole summer without a single pav, so I saw this as the perfect opportunity to switch up my traditional toppings for something bit more comforting as the dark nights draw in.
Spiced Toffee Apple Cupcakes
Nothing says autumn quite like toffee apples, right? I was obsessed with them growing up and can still remember that sweet crunch of the toffee coating, as my teeth made their way through to the juicy apple underneath - pure joy!
Chocolate Pots de Scream
These devilishly good chocolate pots are bound to be a crowd pleaser this Halloween. I mean, just because we’re too old for trick or treating, it doesn’t mean we have to miss out on the treats...
Cinnamon and Maple Crullers
I’ll pre warn you now, you’re going to want to have lots of hungry volunteers around when these come out of the fryer - if you want to avoid a self-induced cruller-coma.
Chocolate and Nutty Caramel Tart
This rich tart is definitely one for die-hard chocolate fans - namely, my boyfriend. It’s dangerously rich and the kind of tart that you’d ask for just a slither of, but would ultimately find yourself going in for seconds...thirds might be pushing it though!
Lemon Ice Cream Cheesecake
So it looks like frozen desserts have dominated the blog in July and August so far. I’d like to say it was all part of a strategic plan that I put together months ago but, in reality, it’s just been a totally happy accident...
No Churn Coconut and Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream
No churn ice cream is a revelation for me. With just two ingredients (double cream and sweetened condensed milk) you have a simple base for any ice cream flavour. The best part is, the recipe requires minimal hands-on time in the kitchen and it doesn’t need to be hand churned - simply leave it in the freezer to set.
Summer Berry Crumble Cake
I guess this recipe represents the current weather in the UK right now. It’s as cake that encompasses all of the comfort of a classic crumble – a lightly spiced brown sugar sponge cake, complete with a crunchy, yet chewy crumble topping, whilst celebrating summer with a homemade compote, fresh berries and a light and creamy swiss meringue buttercream, that almost acts as the cream you’d drench a hearty slice of crumble in after a big Sunday lunch.
Lemon and Coconut Cupcakes
One of my favourite holiday rituals to perfectly round off each day, is an early evening walk with an ice cream. My flavour of choice is usually coconut, and there’s nothing better than a big creamy scoop in a waffle cone! I’m dedicating this recipe for Lemon and Coconut cupcakes to all the helado de coco we devoured on holiday.
Chocolate Swirl Banana Loaf
Often I end up having to freeze all of the overripe bananas that get left in the bottom of the fruit bowl, which is really handy for emergency banana-bread-making.
Lemon, Elderflower and White Chocolate Cake
I think my love for florals stemmed (sorry) from my growing love for baking. There’s not much more beautiful than a cake adorned with fresh flowers. My favourite part of wedding-cake-baking is actually setting up at the venue and decorating the cake with an array of florals - even better when they’re edible!
