Lemon Buttermilk Cake
04 February 2012
There seems to be an abundance of beautiful, perky fresh lemons at the moment, just bursting with zingy flavour and juice and asking to be made into something delicious. I couldn't resist picking some up and then wondered how to make the most of their fresh flavour. Inspired by a tub of buttermilk ...
Cardamom and Orange Banana Bread
29 January 2012
And following on from the spectacular fail that was my attempt at Chelsea Buns, we'll move onto something altogether more successful. I spotted this recipe a while back in the February 2012 issue of BBC Olive magazine in a feature on cooking with oranges and lemons, and really fancied making it as ...
Chelsea Buns - Fail
28 January 2012
I guess there isn't really much to say about these, but I'm going to anyway. I wanted to make a sweet yeasted dough to enter into the Teatime Treats challenge that is run each month by either Kate of What Kate Baked or Karen of Lavender and Lovage. This month's theme was sweet doughs or pastries ...
Peaches and Cream Upside-Down Cake
26 January 2012
Actually, that's a blatant lie. There are no peaches in this cake at all, it's just that there were supposed to be, and 'peaches and cream' somehow sounds better than 'apricots and cream'. Or it does to me anyway. Right, I'll stop rambling about the relative merits of the names of stone fruits when ...
Spelt Ginger Cookies and Rye and Raisin Cookies
22 January 2012
This weeks Short and Tweet challenge (#shortandtweet) organised by @EvidenceMatters (blog here) was either Spelt Ginger Cookies (page 245) or Rye and Raisin Cookies (page 247). Or both, if you're greedy and fancy both recipes like me! I had seen the rye and raisin cookies before, but for some ...
Triple Chocolate Banana Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
21 January 2012
These were born out of the desire to use up various bits and pieces that were lurking in the fridge and around the kitchen. Tiny bit of creme fraiche, check... very overripe banana, check... and so we come to the recipe! Triple chocolate banana cupcakes Ingredients 90g butter 130g caster sugar 40g ...
Soft White Baps
15 January 2012
These were one of the choices for this week's Short and Tweet challenge (organised by @EvidenceMatters, you can find the blog here) baking from Dan Lepard's book Short and Sweet. The other choices were Superwraps and Cider Vinegar Muffins, both of which I also want to make, but ran out of time (and ...
Malted Grain Bread in a Pullman Tin
12 January 2012
When my lovely brother asked me what I would like for Christmas, my thoughts sprang, as ever, to baking. I have been very fortunate and have amassed quite a lot of baking kit - tins and cake cases and so forth, perhaps what I really need is more time to make things and experiment, and people on ...
Clementine shortbread
09 January 2012
The skies may be grey and rain falling by the bucketload where I am, but at least the middle of winter brings bright colourful relief with the citrus fruit season. We now have beautiful lemons and oranges, satsumas, tangerines and the lovely clementines I used to make these shortbread, and ...
Spelt honey cake
07 January 2012
This is another of the type of cakes I regard as everyday 'snacking' type cakes. The ones that you keep in the cake tin to grab a piece of as you pass by. Not a posh dessert, but something simpler, just to keep you going. But this cake was no less delicious for that. I would almost call it frugal - ...
