This rich almond and juicy cherries work really well in a cake, it’s a bit like frangipane. I really love cherries, especially in the classic Black forest. But cherries and almonds are also an amazing combo. I do like Cherrie Bakewells BUT my main issue is almond extract, I just find the taste…

Peanut butter & Chocolate Muffins
These are right up my street, anything with Peanut butter and Chocolate always makes me happy. Also, the other bonus to making muffins is they are quick and easy to make. I love the swirl at the top and the fact that the recipe also called for adding peanut butter to the batter…
Crispy Peanut Butter Cups
If you know me, you would know how much I love peanut butter. Well, actually peanut butter and oats are two of my favourite things. I have some sort of addiction to both of them and they actually make a great combination. I’m always making bars out of them, anyway, I digress, also…
Mini Salted Millionaire Cookie Cups
These little cookie cups are just so cute and also ideal size, as they are very rich. I brought some Jude’s Salted Caramel and had seen many cookie cups on Instagram and thought this would make the perfect filling. After researching a bit on how to make these, there were two options; one…
Mincemeat Cinnamon Rolls
What to do when you have a jar of mincemeat left, I thought? 🤔. I had a sudden craving for cinnamon rolls and thought why not make a Mincemeat version of cinnamon rolls. I can’t remember roughly when I made cinnamon rolls last but it’s got to be over 8 years ago and…
Lotus chocolate chip flapjacks
I think there is something special about flapjacks, they are this amazing sweet snack that is just so moreish, for me, it’s got to be the golden syrup! That unique taste is what completes the flapjack I love oats and could eat them everyday! Flapjacks have been something I’ve adored ever since I…
Chocolate chunk shortbread
If you are like me and love Marks and Spencers shortbread as they have a good amount of chocolate, rich buttery-tasting shortbread, that just melts in your mouth, then you will love these. In general, the addition of chocolate in any recipe always makes it taste so much better. I struggle to get…
Gluten free Jam doughnut muffins
Gluten free baking can always be a tricky, especially when just using GF flours and not ground almonds, I always worry whether it will rise enough or will it taste nice? Saying that these muffins didn’t disappoint, they did taste really nice (although I knew they were GF) and the jam is awesome….
Gluten free pistachio and chocolate chip cookies
I have never made Gluten free cookies but there is always a first, I was a bit skeptical if they would work or not, and would they live up to the cookie dream of being crispy? gooey? soft? chewy? or just god damn rock hard! I used Becky Excell recipes and she is…
Diary free Coffee and Walnut cake
I do love coffee, the taste and smell are both so delicious, who is with me? If I could have a coffee candle I would lol. I’ve never made a dairy-free version of coffee and walnut cake but thought it shouldn’t be an issue as I have made so many DF cakes and…
