Apologies for the silence over the past couple of weeks – I’ve been taking some time off this month to celebrate mine and Katie’s 31st birthdays, and as such I just haven’t had the time to get in the kitchen. But never fear – I’ve managed to tear myself away from binge-watching The Umbrella Academy…

Boozy Chocolate Dipping Sauce
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…
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…
Amaretto Cherry Cheesecake (No Bake)
It’s getting all romantic up in here guys – I dug out the never-before-used heart shaped baking tin for this no bake Amaretto Cherry Cheesecake and everything. Welcome to What Charlotte Baked does Valentine’s Day 2019. Valentine’s Day, Schmalentines Day To be honest, Valentine’s Day is something I think more about for blogging purposes than…
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…
Summer Berries Pavlova with Elderflower Cream
Three chewy meringue layers (homemade meringue is easier than you think – I promise!) filled with delicate elderflower cream and loads of scrummy fresh summer berries. The ultimate summer berries pavlova! I don’t know about you, but I am starting to see a whole load of autumn-slash-Halloween recipes popping up all over twitter and pinterest,…
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…
Lucky Charms Cereal Milk Ice Cream
As we enter what seems like the 15th straight week of 30 degree heat in the UK (and before you moan about how that’s not very hot – we don’t have air conditioning here, alright?) I felt it was only proper to share with you my latest homemade ice cream recipe. And it’s a fun…
Peach Raspberry Smoothie Bowl
After the complete decadence of my recent Snickers Cheesecake Bars, I think we all need something a little bit more healthy on our tables. And healthy doesn’t have to mean bland or tasteless, as you’re about to discover thanks to my brand new (and very colourful) Peach Raspberry Smoothie Bowl. Uh, Smoothie What? If you’re new…
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…
Coconut Angel Food Cake
I’ve long had a goal to bake the absolute whitest cake of all time. Like my whiter than white vanilla buttercream recipe, I’m on a one woman mission to create baked goods that are super pale in colour. There’s something weirdly attractive to me about stark white food… I think I’m drawn towards anything weird…
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…
Key Lime Pie (with Ginger Biscuit Crust)
If forced to choose I would probably pick something chocolatey as my all-time favourite dessert. Maybe a black forest gateau, or a chocolate torte. And I’d be wrong. Because when it comes to puddings, the one that holds the key to my heart is a zesty and sharp key lime pie. There’s nothing better than…
Sticky Toffee Bundt Pudding
Oh my gosh, this is what dreams are made of. A gorgeous sticky toffee pudding – in a bundt pan. With an easy toffee sauce that even a caramel novice can master. It’s what this cold January has been begging for! So yeah, I finally got myself a bundt tin. Well, it was actually a…
Cherry Bakewell Smoothie Bowl (aka Dessert for Breakfast!)
It’s January now, so here’s the compulsory ‘healthy’ breakfast recipe. But, just because something’s got some vitamins and goodness inside it, doesn’t mean it’s not allowed to be yummy and taste like pudding. Plus, I’m always on the hunt for sneaky ways to eat dessert for breakfast. New Year, same old me. What’s a smoothie…
Birthday Cake Sundae (with Birthday Cake Ice Cream)
Well, good riddance 2017. Actually, although this past year has had some hideous moments globally, it’s been a pretty fantastic year for this blog. I’ve posted pretty much consistently throughout 2017, with only a small wobble in December (you can read all about that here). And I’ve had so many more views, comments, tweets, and…
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…
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…
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…
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…
