I know what you’re thinking… how can I possibly top last week’s Naked Black Forest Cake? The honest truth is – I don’t think I ever can. I’ve peaked, at age 30. Speaking of age 30, I’ve only got one day left before I turn 31. Tomorrow is my birthday, and to celebrate I’m bringing…
Chocolate Recipes
Who doesn't love chocolate? You'll find loads of scrummy chocolate recipes right here on my blog, as I've got the sweetest tooth of all. From mint chocolate cookies to white chocolate truffles, we've got them all.
Black Forest Naked Cake
I need to stop saying this (because it’s even starting to annoy me now) but this black forest naked cake might just be the best recipe on my blog. Ever. Full stop. It ticks all the boxes: Incredibly delicious chocolate and cherry cake? TICK. Recipe that involves minimal skill or baking experience? TICK Beautiful cake…
Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cheesecake
Christmas might be well and truly over for another year, but if you’re anything like me the you’ve still got a metric tonne of chocolate lying around the house. Every cupboard and spare surface is stocked with Matchmakers, Lindor balls, and selection boxes. But I’ve found a much better use for two of the Terry’s…
Raw Cookie Dough: 3 Festive Ways (Egg-Free)
Hi guys. I’m back! Yeah, I know, it’s been a while… just over four months in fact. I dropped my Ferrero Rocher Gelato recipe back at the end of August, and then ran for the hills. The truth is, this blog had become more of a chore than the fun hobby it started out as…
Dessert Tapas (Mediterranean Week #2)
Who says tapas always has to be savoury? Perfect for those of you with a sweet tooth, this dessert tapas has a sugary spin on all the classic tapas favourites. And so, Mediterranean week continues! Today’s recipe is a bit of a mammoth one. So many ingredients, and oh so many steps. The good news…
Mini Millionaire’s Cheesecakes
I’m writing this from on board the Sapphire Princess, somewhere just off the coast of Spain. We’re just over a week into out two-week cruise, and I’m taking an hour out of my very busy day of relaxing on the balcony to finally write the post I meant to publish before we even set foot…
Snickers Cheesecake Bars
I’m baaa-aaack. It’s been a while (over a month actually) since I last popped in to share my coconut angel food cake recipe, and I’m hoping that today’s Snickers Cheesecake Bars will be just the ticket to help you forgive me. Pretty please? As I mentioned last time, I have had a very good reason…
Seedling Cupcakes (in Plant Pots)
Whilst I may be enjoying a well-earned four day bank holiday weekend rest, this blog never sleeps. And what better way to celebrate Easter (and the start of spring) than with a recipe for some adorable little Chocolate Seedling Cupcakes. There’s absolutely no actual dirt involved. Promise. This time of year is all about getting…
Cadbury Mini Egg Milkshakes
It was only last week that I shared my first ever milkshake recipe here on What Charlotte Baked, and it was so good that I’m back for a second bash at it. And as promised, I’m stepping up the Easter this week. Meet my Cadbury Mini Egg milkshakes: I’m going to come straight out…
Mint Chocolate M&M Cookies
Happy *almost* St Patrick’s Day! I’ve got friends staying this weekend, so I’m getting my Irish on a little early this year. In addition to the thick, creamy, and (most importantly) green Grasshopper Pie Milkshake that I shared on Wednesday, I also broke out the mint M&Ms I brought back with me from Florida and…
Maltesers Tiffin
As with all my bakes in the last few weeks, there’s a Florida-inspired story behind today’s recipe. We flew out to Orlando from London Gatwick, and got to experience the calming atmosphere of Virgin Holiday’s V-Room lounge before our flight. If you know me IRL at all, you’ll know that I absolutely hate flying. It’s…
Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Weirdly, today’s recipe was inspired by a little packet of snack mix that I saw when I was wondering around the aisles of Walmart, on our trip to Florida last month (which it turns out you can buy in the UK too). Reese’s Snack Mix has pretzel bites, peanuts, Reese’s Pieces candy, and little peanut…
Marshmallow Rice Krispies Mickey Mouse Pops
After our epic trip to Walt Disney World a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t help getting in the kitchen and putting the Mickey Mouse sandwich cutter I purchased at the unbelievably massive World of Disney store to good use! Because who doesn’t love Rice Krispies treats – and I bet you’ve never seen Rice…
Valentine’s Hearts & Lips Bark
Happy Valentine’s Day to all you lovely people out there, whatever your relationship status. Because if there is one thing out there we can all get heart-eyes over, it’s chocolate, right? I’ve got the perfect last-minute recipe for you today, just in case you’re like me and somehow completely forgot it was Valentine’s Day today….
Raspberry White Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, and if you’ve completely forgotten (or have just got back from an amazing holiday in Florida and forgot all about it) then have I got the cookies for you! Side note: these cookies also work for non-romantic occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, Fridays… Basically, these raspberry white chocolate sugar…
Cherry Amaretto Fudge
February’s pretty much here, and with it brings a whole host of pink things. Yep, it’s going to be all hearts and chocolate around here for the next couple of weeks. You may say that all this pink is just me trying to hide from the fact that I’m turning 30 in 5 days. You’d…
Toasted White Chocolate Mocha
It’s absolutely freezing in the northern hemisphere right now, and no where more-so than in my bathroom (aka the ice box). And that’s why I’m putting off my much-needed shower to bring you all this most wintery of all drinks – the toasted white chocolate mocha. Yes, it’s a bit Christmassy. And yes, it was…
Ferrero Rocher Brownies
In my last essay post I promised that normal service would be resumed as soon as possible, and here it is: Ferrero Rocher Brownies. You guys seem to be loving last year’s Ferrero Rocher Pavlova recipe a whole lot this festive season, and so I couldn’t resist breaking open a box of my favourite Christmas chocolates and…
Toblerone Hot Chocolate
[AdSense-B] Today’s recipe is served with a side order of sadness. Cue X-Factor style sob-story music. Three Christmases ago something magical happened. I walked into my neighbourhood Starbucks, ready to get myself into the festive spirit and drink something seasonal from one of those gorgeous red cups, and noticed something magical on the menu –…
Candy Cane Chocolate Bark
[AdSense-B] It seems like every baking blog out there has their own recipe for candy cane chocolate bark. It’s pretty much a Christmas staple, and that’s because it: a) is easy to make b) is pretty as hell c) tastes gorgeous and d) makes a really great Christmas gift for anyone who likes chocolate (and…
Mulled Wine Chocolate Truffles
[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…
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!…
