Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
06 February 2012
I think I've cracked the puzzle of how to make good looking Cheesecake Swirl Brownies. Previous attempts have foundered on the problem of how to get a quite thin cheesecake batter to stay in blobs on the surface of the brownie batter, and then be mixed into it in artistic swirls. The disparity ...
Chocolate Chip, Marzipan and Cranberry Muffins
03 February 2012
As you probably know, muffins aren't my favourite type of baked treat. There are times, though, when they are really useful - good portion control, quick to mix and quick to bake too. They are even good if you need to eat them while still warm - most cakes are not happy if you try to cut them while ...
Cinnamon Cake with Chocolate and Hazelnut Streusel
01 February 2012
I know that I am my own harshest critic; much of what I see as bad about my baking probably wouldn't be noticed by anyone other than another perfectionist! That's why it makes me unreasonably happy to say that the outcome of this recipe, for a cinnamon flavoured cake with chocolate and ...
Chocolate Chip and Orange Cake
29 January 2012
Reading my list of posts for January, it looks as if it's ages since I made chocolate cake for CT. In fact, the recipes I've posted have been interspersed with batches of brownies made with mayonnaise, about which I've already posted. However, it's about time a chocolate cake crept back into ...
Pear, Pecan and Ginger Cake
25 January 2012
I can't put my finger on what was wrong with this cake, but I didn't really enjoy it. Perhaps there was nothing wrong with it, and it's just my taste buds which weren't satisfied. To me there was strange aftertaste to the cake, but I'm not sure it was because of the pecans or the fresh ginger - ...
Coconut and Lime Drizzle Cake
21 January 2012
This is another adaptation of this fabulous Annie Bell recipe, which is turning out to be very adaptable and versatile, as I'd hoped. The fact that I can take out flour and substitute desiccated coconut, without affecting how well the recipe works is very encouraging. This flavour ...
Pineapple and Blackberry Crumble
16 January 2012
This crumble was inspired by one of the dishes made in the third heat of the Celebrity Sport Relief Bake Off Challenge, shown on TV last week. TV presenter Anita Rani, who went on to be the overall winner, made a Pineapple and Blackberry Crumble with the coconut added to the crumble ...
Orange Layer Cake
12 January 2012
I used the two cakes I made yesterday to make this Orange Layer Cake. As it seemed the flatter of the two, I used the cake made with Light at Heart as the bottom layer. It was a little lopsided so I attempted to level the bottom by shaving off a little of the cake. I then sandwiched the ...
Baking with Light at Heart
11 January 2012
I think we all know that it's difficult to reconcile a love of cakes, pastries, cookies and chocolate with healthy eating and even more difficult for some of us to keep a steady weight, let alone lose weight while eating these regularly. There are things we can do to make baked goods a little ...
Cinnamon Buns - A Tea Time Treat
08 January 2012
Tea Time Treats is a monthly challenge set in turn by Kate at What Kate Baked, and Karen at Lavender and Lovage; the rules can be found here. This month it was Karen who challenged us to bake a sweet Tea Time Treat based on either bread or pastry. This caused a dilemma for me - I'm ...
