Is there anything better than a melt-in-the-middle chocolate lava cake? Well, how about one with a gooey white chocolate centre that’s easy to whip up in no time at all? Still on the fence? I’m definitely going to win you over when I show you photos The cake itself is made with very little flour…

Jaffa Cake Layer Cake
I’ve got something a little bit special today – definitely not a cake you can throw together in an hour or so. But, if you are after a bake which is guaranteed to make people smile, then you are going to want to check out my Jaffa Cake Layer Cake! This cake is a whole…
Salted Caramel Profiteroles
Well, thank god 2016 is almost over. It’s been a pretty weird year all round, but one that it is definitely going to be remembered, both publicly and personally. Aside from all the obvious bad news, there was some good to be found in places. I got married! And we moved onto the street I’d…
Ferrero Rocher Pavlova
Don’t love Christmas pudding as much as I do? Then I’ve so got you covered with this showstopping Ferrero Rocher pavlova. It’s the (second) best way to round off your Christmas day feast. Or why not serve up as part of your New Year’s Eve banquet? Throw some cake sparklers in the top and this…
Churros with Chocolate Peanut Butter Sauce
This week on the Great British Bake Off we were faced with, quite possibly, the weirdest challenge of all time – batter week. Yep, all the bakes this week involved various forms of batter, including filled Yorkshire puddings, weird lacy pancakes, and traditional Spanish churros. I pretty much hate anything made from batter. The word ‘batter’…
Double Chocolate Muffins
The queen of baked goods, double chocolate muffins are the first to get eaten in the office kitchen. Followed closely by the donuts, of course. But there’s really no need to go out and buy them when they are this easy to make! You know me by now – I like to add as much…
Champagne Truffle Ice Cream
I’ve been making a whole load of ice cream lately – there was this lemon ripple ice cream from a few weeks ago, as well as the pistachio ice cream that apparently never actually made it to the blog. Maybe it was just too tasty? Or maybe I just didn’t have the light or time…
Chocolate Orange Viennese Whirls
How is it the second week of The Great British Bake Off already? And how much do you love Val? She needs to stay in that tent for as long as possible. I totally would have made ice cream iced biscuits too. So yeah, last night brought us biscuit week. And today I’m bringing you…
Double Chocolate Millionaire’s Shortbread
Millionaire’s shortbread is one of my all-time favourites. How could I possibly make it better? As always, the answer turned out to be more chocolate. This is a triple whammy of perfection. On the bottom, you’ve got a soft and crumbly chocolate shortbread base. Incredibly simple and quick to make, with plenty of cocoa to…
White Chocolate Strawberry Cookies
Strawberries and cream! In a cookie! I’ve genuinely spent the last week trying (and failing) to get this white chocolate strawberry cookie recipe right. I really wanted to make a slice and bake cookie, but getting the balance between too sweet, too spready, and too yucky turned out to be a lot harder than expected. …
Chocolate Lime Bars
So, I managed to drag myself away from trying to track down Pikachu, and spent Sunday afternoon cooking up these hulk-green chocolate lime bars. I might have gone a little OTT on the food colouring. Let that be a lesson to you. There are a tonne of limes in our fridge at the moment, due to…
Chocolate Waffles
I gave Katie a waffle maker as a wedding present. It might seem unromantic, but at some point the humble waffle became a symbol of the future we were going to share together. We’d imagine the house we would own, the gorgeous kitchen we would create, and the ridiculously over the top breakfasts we would…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies
I’m finally posting a new recipe! Gold star for me! Seriously, I’ve been such a bad baking blogger lately. Last time I promised I would try and post once a week, and that was about a month ago… It turns out that being less than six weeks away from your incredibly DIY’d wedding, having a partner…
Edible Raw Cookie Dough (Egg Free)
UPDATED – After a helpful reader pointed out the potential risks of eating raw flour, please see the note at the bottom of the recipe if you want to bake your flour before using it in the dough. Today’s recipe is a bit of a weird one. It’s just cookie dough. One of the best…
Hazelnut Chocolate Cookies
*Photos updated in May 2017* Did everyone enjoy eating their own body weight in chocolate eggs this weekend? After much pestering from Katie, I did manage to throw together some roast chicken on Sunday evening, along with my best ever roast potatoes. I must share the recipe for those beauties sometime. Not really baking though,…
The BEST Chocolate Sheet Cake
This is the chocolate sheet cake to end all sheet cakes. Guaranteed to be a hit at your kids birthday party, or when you need to feed a whole bunch of people with an easy and pretty cake that looks like you put a lot more effort into it than you actually did. Plus this…
Limoncello Truffles
Today I’m bringing you the recipe for the limoncello truffles I sent my Mum this weekend – or Mom as I call her…she loves it really 🙂 In case you hadn’t noticed, I quite like making truffles. They are easy to throw together if you follow a few simple rules, and the flavour combinations are…
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Easter Nests
Everyone knows how to make Easter nests, don’t they. You crush up some Shredded Wheat, add some melted chocolate, and you’re pretty much done. Today’s recipe doesn’t mess with perfection too much, and instead just adds some peanut butter into the mix, as well as some beautiful golden caramel eggs. Salty, sweet, and pretty as…
White Chocolate Creme Egg Fudge
We are properly into March now, and that means I am going to be stepping up the Easter treats for the next few weeks. Of course that also means I’ve got plenty more chocolate coming your way, as well as the recipes for the Mother’s Day treats I sent my Mum. Can’t spill the beans…
Chocolate Cake Pops
It’s almost Mother’s Day here in the UK, and to celebrate I am bringing you some beautiful gold cake pops, filled with a soft chocolate cakey centre. These chocolate cake pops are pretty and easy to make, in any colour you choose! You are going to love these little pops, because they are a great…
The Best Chocolate Cupcakes
Everyone has their staple chocolate cupcake recipe, and this is mine. The best chocolate cupcakes you will ever make. What’s so great about them? I like to think their greatness is three-fold: Firstly, they are made from melted chocolate rather than cocoa. This does mean the ingredients you will need for these are a little…
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
I can’t even cope with these double chocolate chip cookies. I’ve eaten so many of them that I’m not sure I’m going to fit in my wedding dress for my first fitting next week. If you too want a cookie that you cannot stop eating, then these are the babies for you. It is scientifically…
Salted Caramel Brownies (Gluten Free)
Happy Wednesday! It’s almost the weekend (well, kind of), and to celebrate I have got some absolutely devine salted caramel brownies to share with you today. They are bloody gorgeous. Controversially, salted caramel isn’t really one of my favourite flavours. Why on Earth did I make these salted caramel brownies then? Well, ever since Alexa…
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Bars
Peanut butter, chocolate, and cookies. Surely it doesn’t get any better than that? Well, let me introduce you to my chocolate and peanut butter bars. In case you guys hadn’t noticed, I really like baking. But what I really love is baking things for Katie. And I have never had such an amazing reception from her…
