Friday was a momentous day. Seriously. The 9th of June is from this moment on to be known as ‘Brownie Day’, and celebrated with a batch of the perfect little fudgy chocolate brownies you see below. I have been trying to successfully bake fudgy chocolate brownies for my entire adult life, and that’s not an exaggeration….

Although this stuff is…
Mint Limeade
Something a little bit different for you today – I don’t think there’s ever been a drink recipe posted on What Charlotte Baked before, although please do correct me if I’m wrong! Let’s start our foray into drinks with a high, and you can’t get much higher than Mint Limeade, right? Made with fresh limes…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Fudge
Oh candy, my old friend. It’s been too long. The last time we had fudge around here was last Easter, so I wanted to come back with my fudge-game strong. And this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Fudge is about as good as fudge gets, in my opinion. How many times can I use the word…
Raspberry Lemonade & Lime Ginger Dessert Shots

Happy Monday everybody! Yeah, so what if it’s been raining all weekend, it’s time to summer-up and get making these Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes – baked in adorable ice cream cones ?

Chocolate Cherry Loaf Cake
Want a chocolate cherry loaf cake, where all the chocolate chips and juicy cherries don’t just sink straight to the bottom? Well, go on then, if you insist. This isn’t the first loaf cake I’ve shared with you, and it 100% won’t be the last. There’s something incredibly simple about mixing up some batter, chucking…
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
We’ve done chocolate chip cookies, double chocolate chip cookies, and even chocolate and hazelnut cookies. But there’s always been something missing.

There’s slivers of toasted almond trapped in big oaty clusters, sweetened with…
White Vanilla Cupcakes
Yesterday I shared with you all my tips an tricks for how to get your vanilla buttercream the absolute whitest, but now you need something just as white (well, almost) to pipe it on to, am I right? Well, how about my white vanilla cupcakes. Sounds perfect. This is my new absolute favourite cupcake recipe that inspired…
How to Make Super White Buttercream
It’s no surprise that buttercream contains butter. And butter is yellow. So, you’re never going to get it stark white like you could with other (less tasty) frostings. But, there are a few tips and tricks I can show you to get it your buttercream as white as possible, depending on how far you’re willing…

Intense Double Chocolate Granola
I’ve been brainstorming granola recipes all weekend, to the point where I’ve just taken delivery of a bulk order of cereal mallows ? Granola may just be my new favourite thing to bake! It’s so easy, and is always appreciated greatly by my wife. And top of my list, as requested by the woman herself, was double chocolate granola. …
Homemade Lime Curd
This past weekend was pretty much summer here in the UK, and of course that meant that everyone ventured out and about for picnics and barbecues in the park. I did manage to get in the kitchen and throw together a couple of things – the salted caramel banana bread I shared with you earlier in…
Salted Caramel Banana Bread
I don’t like banana. So why is today’s recipe salted caramel banana bread? Because, my wife does. I really love that photo! I definitely think my photography skills have massively improved in the past year and a bit of being a baking blogger. Yes, I’ve still got loads to learn, but I’m getting there. Happy…

There’s peanut butter in the batter. There’s raspberry jam running through the middle (along with some more peanut butter if you fancy it). There’s no need for a stand mixer. I give you – Perfect Peanut Butter Jelly Muffins! Want to make these? The most important piece of advice I can give you is to…

Cherry Bakewell Granola
Making your own homemade Cherry Bakewell Granola is easier than you might think – and I have it on extremely good authority that it tastes like perfection.

Mini Chocolate Cherry Pavlovas
Looking for chocolate swirled meringue nests, filled with chocolate cream and cherry compote? Then you’ve come to the right place!

Pumpkin Spice Roll Out Cookies
What? No bright orange Halloween bake? I could pretend that I deliberately avoided creating anything tacky on purpose… but the truth is that unfortunately my hidden pumpkin cake did not go to plan at all. It was a mess. Less hidden pumpkin, more hidden blob. It tasted good though – so I’m sure there is a…
Toffee Apple Crumble
And the crumble-binge continues. This is my last one this autumn, I promise. And why not go out with a bang? This toffee apple crumble is the absolute best dessert to come home to after watching the Bonfire Night fireworks.
