I used to love making chocolate caramel shortbread when I was younger, although back then I called it a twix bar! A delicious combination of buttery shortbread, gooey, sweet caramel with a thin layer of chocolate on top. So I’m…
Tiramisu Cake
I am really enjoying baking at the moment, it keeps me busy when there isn’t much else to do during lockdown. This week I really fancied experimenting with coffee and chocolate flavours. I was originally going to make a mocha…
Orange Breakfast Muffins
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m all about a weekend breakfast or brunch, featuring eggs, pancakes, waffles – you name it! I’ve always found it more difficult to come up with weekday breakfasts which I…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
The lockdown baking has started up again! This time with these gluten free chocolate chip cookie bars. They are packed with milk chocolate chips, while maintaining the gooey texture and sweet flavour of a classic cookie. This recipe is very…
Gingerbread Cupcakes
Just before Christmas I made a huge batch of Gingerbread Men using my foolproof recipe linked here. The recipe makes so many biscuits so I thought I’d use them to top a new, Christmassy cupcake. The recipe below makes 12…
