[AdSense-B] Update: I’ve had a bit of feedback from readers who can’t get their truffles to set. I’ve therefore amended the method for the recipe so that the mulled wine is reduced down before adding it to the ganache. I did get great results using the original method, but obviously there is something not quite…
12 inch Almond Layer Cake
By popular request, here is the recipe for the 12 inch version of my Almond Layer Cake. This is just the recipe for the cake, without frosting, as this is most probably going to be used for a wedding cake, and therefore you’ve probably got your own frosting in mind.
Marble Halloween Cupcakes (with Black Frosting)
[AdSense-B] As soon as I started brainstorming Halloween recipes for the blog this year, my mind immediately jumped to black frosting. Ironic really, considering that the most popular post on What Charlotte Baked is How to Make Super White Buttercream. Give the people what they want and all that. But I was determined to get…
Maple Apple Pie
[AdSense-B] It’s Sunday afternoon (for me anyway) and whilst I sit here and wait for Amazon to bring me my new Nintendo Switch, I thought it was about time I got around to sharing this absolutely gorgeous Maple Apple Pie I made a few weekends ago. This might actually be the best thing I’ve ever…
Chocolate Cheesecake Cookie Cups
[AdSense-B] Good morning peeps. It’s Sunday today (for me, anyway) and I’m spending the day catching up on some long-overdue blog post writing. I’ve got so many recipes all photographed and ready to go, but I just haven’t had the time to sit down and share them all with you. First up, quite possibly the…
S’mores Tarts
[AdSense-B] October = autumn, for sure. Don’t even try to argue with me anymore. I’ve even gone all out and sprinkled my photos with autumnal orange and red leaves, and there are some cute little faux pumpkins on the table next to me which are going to soon be scattered all over the house. And…
Rocky Road Chocolate Bark (and How to Temper)
Guess what? In exactly three months’ time, it will be Christmas day! I’ve already started my shopping – I’ve got a whole advent calendar to put together for Katie after all – and I’m about ready to start on my Christmas baking. Mulled wine and a Terry’s chocolate orange in the Sainsbury’s order this weekend!…
Cherry Coconut Macaroons
Enough with the peanut butter! It’s time to get things a little more coconut up in here. Yeah, there’s some cherry in there too. Of course. And wherever there’s cherry, chocolate is not far behind. I’m getting so predictable in my old age. Let’s rewind a minute. These cherry coconut macaroons started out their short…
Peanut Butter Sugar Cookies with Easy Royal Icing
It’s official – autumn starts right here. I’ve started wearing woolly jumpers, the Christmas shopping has begun. Heck, I’ve even gone and bought a new winter coat. There’s something special about this time of year that just gets me so excited for the next few months of cold crisp weather, dark evenings snuggled up under…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread
😍 PEANUT BUTTER ALERT 😍 Yep, peanut butter is back. This incredible ingredient was most recently seen in my Peanut Butter Overnight Oats, but if you’re on my blog you are never too far away from a peanut butter treat. It’s my wife’s favourite (or is that salted caramel?) and although I’m not a fan of PB…
Apricot & Marzipan Breakfast Rolls
Who doesn’t love breakfast? It’s the number one meal of the day in my book (well, apart from the 8pm Cadbury chocolate button binge, of course). And sometimes a bowl of cornflakes just doesn’t cut it. For those occasions when you really need to step up your breakfast game, I’ve got just the recipe for…
Swiss Roll Cookies
Swiss Roll. Cake Roll. Jam Roly-Poly. Whatever you want to call it, I’ve only gone and turned it into a cookie. What with the new (and slightly controversial) series of the Great British Bake Off back on our screens this week, I wanted to share something a bit British. And what’s more quintessentially British than…
Mars Bar Tart (No Bake)
I’m taking half an hour out of my bank holiday Sunday to share something I’m super proud of with you all. I’m even tempted to say that today’s recipe might be the best thing to ever come out of my kitchen. Because, whilst I love all the things that make it to this blog, I…
Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
I’ve got something brand new (well to me, anyway) to share with you all today – my first foray into the world of overnight oats. Yep, although my first instinct was “nobody wants to eat cold porridge”, apparently a lot of people do! And now my wife’s one of them. So get on board the…
Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream Cake
What’s the best cake to make in the summer? Ice cream cake, of course! And this one’s got it all – a chocolate brownie cake base, layers of chocolate ice cream, chocolate fudge sauce, and some homemade chocolate whipped cream to finish things off. Plus, some store bought brownie chunks for decoration. Because you can’t…
Pimm’s Crumble
This Pimm’s Crumble is for the booze lovers. For the people who knock back way too many cocktails on a sunny summer’s day. The ones who head straight for the champagne truffle in that big box of chocolates. We’ve all got that one friend who’s never more than two metres away from a glass of…
Maltesers Cheesecake (No Bake)
No bake cheesecakes are quickly becoming my favourite thing to make this summer. Not only do you not need to go anywhere near a hot oven (which is a godsend in our tiny apartment kitchen), but they are also really quick and easy to put together. The only time-consuming thing here is waiting for the…
Caramel Peach Pavlova
And so, the wettest British summer of all time continues. At least I’ve got no annual leave left, so I’m stuck safely away in an (almost) waterproof office all day. And I’m spending my evenings all curled up on the sofa with a blanket, Netflix, and thoughts of autumn leaves and pumpkins. So there’s that. …
Big Batch Cocktails for a Wedding
Summer is here (supposedly) and inevitably, that also means it’s Wedding Season™. We’ve recently celebrated our first wedding anniversary, and that got me thinking about some of the things we made for the wedding that I haven’t got around to sharing with you all yet. Last month I divulged my recipe for the first tier…
Salted Caramel Granola
I’ve got serious granola goals for you today. Totally overbaked salted caramel granola goals. BUT it still tastes good. Easy all-in-one salted caramel, roasted almonds, hazelnuts, and seeds. Oh yeah, and chocolate chips, as always. You can’t have a good breakfast without chocolate. I will live and die by that motto. Well, probably die. [Oh…
Butterbeer Cupcakes
I managed to drag myself away from this weekend’s Shadowhunters Netflix binge for long enough to bake something special to celebrate my all-time favourite fictional series – Harry Potter. Today is Harry’s (37th?) birthday, so I’m going to be munching one of these Butterbeer Cupcakes later on in his honour. If you’ve been to the…
Clementine & Prosecco Jam
The inspiration for today’s recipe came from some bubble bath. I bet that’s not a phrase that’s often bandied about on baking blogs, but it’s 100% true. I loved the smell of my Clementine and Prosecco bath soak so much that I knew I needed to make some jam based on it. And so my…
Snickers Cheesecake (No Bake)
I’m currently on a one-woman mission to eat all the Snickers bars in a five-mile radius. I did manage to stop myself from eating just five of them, which is conveniently exactly the right amount you’re going to need to make this gorgeous no bake Snickers Cheesecake. I’m obsessed 😍😍😍 Where do I even start with…
Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Box Cake
So, earlier in the week I let you in on how to make your own chocolate graham crackers. Because, if you live in the UK, you can’t get hold of a graham cracker for love nor money, especially not a chocolate one. And I promised you that I would be sharing with you a recipe…
