The famous fudge brownie often overshadows blonde relative; but I was surprised to learn that they actually predate chocolate brownies - making them the older, and much wiser dessert!
All in Baking
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...
Amaretto Soaked Raspberry and Frangipane Tart
The thought of making pastry used to spark the fear within me. It always overwhelmed me and for a long time, I avoided it in my baking.
Blueberry Mumbles
My favourite thing about these muffins is that make it totally acceptable to eat cake at breakfast - with plenty of fruit and oats, who could ever judge?
Raspberry and White Chocolate Friands
Like many delicious sweet treats, these little teacakes originate from France - where they are known as Financiers. More recently, they have also become popular in Australia and New Zealand - who have adopted them and made them their own - they call them Friands.
Lavender Shortbread (Two Ways)
I love buttery, crumbly, sugary shortbread so much - it seems to be one of those simple treats that I crave so often and, when I do, this recipe is my go to.
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...
Red Velvet Cookies
These soft, chewy cookies are perfect just as they are - even better when dunked in glass of cold milk but, be warned, they are dangerously easy to consume in large quantities...
Carrot and Cream Cheese Teacakes
These little teacakes are so light - they are perfect for scoffing alongside lots of other sweet treats and sandwiches.
Peanut Butter and ‘Jelly’ Sandwiches
I don’t think there’s any danger of me ever being too ‘grown up’ for Peanut Butter & Jelly - there is something which always brings me back to this classic flavour combination...
Lemon and Thyme Bundtlettes
I like big bundts (and I cannot lie) but these baby bundts make really great individual servings - a nice alternative to cupcakes too.
Matcha and White Chocolate Swiss Roll
I officially fell in love with Matcha while on holiday in Vancouver two years ago. We found the most amazing Japanese café and on our first visit I had my first Matcha Latte. We loved it so much; we found an excuse everyday until we had to (reluctantly) go home.
Caramelised Pear, Almond and Cardamom 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...
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!
Blood Orange, Almond and Polenta Loaf
Blood oranges are my biggest food crush right now. If there’s a blood orange appreciation society out there then I’m 100% joining, albeit late but I’m totally there...
