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.

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.
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...
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.
Maple-caramel, Pecan Fudge Brownies
I find that baking perfectly gooey brownies is kind of like waiting for avocados to ripen. That window of opportunity where they're just right is so slim. Overcook your brownies by a matter of seconds, and they go from fudgy deliciousness to dry and crumbly disappointment.
Homemade Christmas Gifts: Chocolate Amaretti Biscuits
Amaretti biscuits; crispy on the outside, soft and chewy in the middle - and oh so perfect dunked in a hot cup of strong coffee! These bite-sized morsels make up my trio of homemade gifts this Christmas for the year.
Homemade Christmas Gifts: Cranberry, Pistachio and White Chocolate ‘Chriscotti’
Perhaps the homemade gift has been tarnished by dodgy Pinterest fails - but I think it says so much more than a gift card ever could.
Chocolate and Blackberry Fudge Cake
I feel like I’m on a constant mission to perfect the ultimate, fudgiest chocolate cake - and I don’t mind how many chocolate recipes I have to test and taste before I get there (I’m dedicated like that)...
Chewy Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Cookies
I’ve spent so long trying to achieve that perfect combination of crisp on the edges but soft and gooey in middle - and, most importantly, big enough to eclipse the sun. After all, if a cookie isn’t bigger than your face, then is it really a cookie?
Double Chocolate Oreo Fudge
I kinda love how Oreo’s have evolved from a simple, albeit tasty, cookie sandwich, to a delicious vehicle for so many wonderfully creative baked goods...
S'mores Tart
I remember first being introduced to S’mores on holiday in the US. It was Christmas and we sat around an open fire, toasting marshmallows and sandwiching them between Graham crackers and thick slabs of Hershey’s chocolate - heaven.
Peanut Butter and Banocolate Cupcakes
I always seem to have at least two over ripe bananas that have outstayed their welcome in my fruit bowl. They usually end up in a super quick mid-week banana bread but more so than often they end up getting frozen for special bakes - like these peanut butter and banana-chocolate (banocoloate) cupcakes.
Chocolate Porter Fudge cake
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...
Speckled Egg Cupcakes
I’ve been working on this chocolate sponge recipe for a while and I love it - really rich but so light at the same time and the light as air Italian Meringue tops them off so perfectly. Don’t even get me started on those mini nests!
