Ingredients 1 ¾ cups self-rising flour 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder ⅛ teaspoon salt 2 cups white sugar 1 cup water 2… Read More Chocolate and Greek Yoghurt Cake

Delicious Cinnamon Buns

Even though I’ve been into baking for a few years now, I’ve never tried baking cinnamon buns before. Which is a surprise because I love them! Receiving the Cinnamon Buns kit from Bakedin gave me the opportunity to try my hand at making some. My favourite part was when the house filled with the aroma… Read More Delicious Cinnamon Buns

Easy Chicken Curry

I’m completely caffeinated on coffee as I write this. Knew having two cups wasn’t the best idea haha! The takeaways near me aren’t up to much, so I thought I’d try to create my own Indian feast at the weekends. This chicken curry is yummy and easy to make- a pretty good substitute for a… Read More Easy Chicken Curry

Pear and Frangipane Tart

I made this absolutely yummy pear and frangipane tart a little while ago. I’m not usually a fan of fruit-based puddings, but this was wonderfully sweet, with just the right amount of sharpness. It was the ideal Autumn/ Winter sweet treat. I froze some of mine to make it last longer. Prep time: 30 mins… Read More Pear and Frangipane Tart

Supporting the Homeless with Mince Pies

These almond frangipane mince pies were a real treat. Delightfully festive, with a twist on a traditional favourite, they taste great with a glass of mulled wine (or mulled wine tea). However, what makes them extra- special is that the ingredients were supplied by vegan bakery Poster Bakes, in partnership with homelessness charity The Connection… Read More Supporting the Homeless with Mince Pies

Soft-baked Pretzels

Okay not going to lie, I’ve never really given much thought to pretzels. I predominantly thought they were a savoury snack. So when I received my latest baking box from BakedIn, I was intrigued to find that this month’s bake was going to be soft-baked pretzels. Not only that, but these were sweet, covered in… Read More Soft-baked Pretzels

Simply scrumptious scones

I absolutely love afternoon tea (as anyone who follows this blog will know). And what is no afternoon tea complete without? Scones! Now, I feel that scones are one of those foods that everyone has their own recipe for- however there seems to be a huge amount of variations online. Therefore, you need to try… Read More Simply scrumptious scones
