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.
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.
When I finally started this blog twelve months ago, it had been a long time coming. In between working full time and moving into my first home it felt like such an achievement to finally have it up and running and I knew once I started, there’s no way I’d want to stop.
Out of my rhubarb rambling come these delicious rhubarb and ginger cupcakes. The sweetness, but slightly tanginess of the stewed rhubarb works so perfect with that spiced buttercream - I urge you to give them a go!
This is by far my favourite cake on here to date. It’s very indulgent but not too heavy - it also keeps well and won’t dry out (with a little bit of extra help from a drizzle of honey on top).
By now, much like the early January gym routine, Christmas is but a distant memory and the post festive-feasting diets have gone out the window (where they belong). In fact, if you’re anything like me, the need for comfort is stronger than ever.
I’m really craving simple, classic bakes at the moment (when baking and consuming) and this cakes ticks both of those boxes perfectly.
It’s about to get a whole lot colder, and when it does - this boozy banana cake will be here to keep you warm. This is the perfect cake to make on a cold weekend morning - ready to dig into by the afternoon with a big cup of tea (or something stronger).
Porter and chocolate go hand in hand, and the coffee ads an extra level of richness to this cake - making it a really indulgent Bruce Bogtrotter-esque cake...
I swear you could put any fruit with this light almond cake and it would taste good. But there’s something about this combination that’s really comforting and totally delicious...
