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…
Easy Recipes
These are the easiest recipes on my site, and the definite starting place for beginners. Usually these recipes are quick and simple to make, or involve minimal baking skill or experience. So get your mixing bowl out and give something a go!
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
Incredibly easy dessert alert! These gorgeous dessert shots pretty much make themselves, and are the perfect way to finish a dinner party. Because who doesn’t love mini desserts? Have one (or three) of each! I’ve got two flavours for you today. If you want something a little sweeter, then raspberry lemonade is right up your…
Cherry Apricot Galette
What on Earth even is a galette? And why would you want to make one? All your questions will be answered today as I share with you something brand new – my first ever cherry apricot galette! Easy one first. That up there is a galette. It’s basically just a lazy person’s pie, without the…
Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes (in Cones)
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 🍧 Yep, that up there is mint choc chip buttercream, not actual ice cream. I promise. The idea for these cute little guys came whilst I was…
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 was a cookie shaped space in my heart that I didn’t even know needed filling – until today. Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are here. And they taste just like the ice cream 🍦 Ice…
Lucky Charms Granola (with Honey & Almonds)
This is the granola recipe you’ve been waiting for! Honey nut granola (because lush) sprinkled with everyone’s favourite cereal addition – marshmallows 🎈 It’s Lucky Charms Granola time ladies and gentlemen! The base here is a tasty, naturally sweetened honey nut granola recipe. 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…
Double Chocolate Cookie Bars
What’s the only thing better than double chocolate cookies? Double chocolate cookie bars, of course. This is the most chocolatey recipe around, and don’t let anyone tell you differently. Literally crammed full of milk chocolate chips, this cookie bar is an intense and fudgy chocolate hit. If you loved my double chocolate chip cookies, then these…
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…
Peanut Butter Jelly Muffins
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…
Mars Bar Cakes
Today I’m sharing with you what is quite possibly the easiest yet scrummiest bake around – Mars Bar Cakes. More exciting than your usual marshmallow squares, these will definitely be the hit of your kid’s birthday party (apart from Jelly cubes though, am I right?) or office charity bake sale. Everyone loves Rice Krispie treats!…
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. I live with the world’s most experienced breakfast cereal eater (probably). My wife literally buys three boxes of cereal every single time we go to the supermarket, and…
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! Meringues are probably my all-time favourite thing to make, and I think I’ve worked out why. Most people have this misguided idea that making your own meringues is both really difficult, and a tonne of…
Chocolate Lava Cakes with White Chocolate Centres
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…
Vanilla Sugar Cookies + 2016 Favourites :)
A very happy 2017 to all of my lovely readers! If you missed yesterday’s post, I shared my recipe for these sweet and salty caramel profiteroles, as well as my resolution to aim for quality over quantity in this brand new year. So, before I get stuck in to today’s vanilla sugar cookies, I thought…
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. This recipe almost reads like a typical apple crumble, but with the key addition of…
Soft Pretzels
Oh my gosh, I’ve had a terrible week. I don’t know whether I’ve slipped a disc or whatever, but I’ve been channelling Rachel from that episode of Friends where Ross has to help her do her makeup. World’s worst back 2k16. And baking does not make it better at all. The things I go through…
Blackberry Apple Crumble Muffins
I’ve basically had a headache for 10 days now (thanks a lot stress), so apologies for the lack of new recipes. It hasn’t been for a lack of baking – I’ve got recipes and photos coming out of my ears, but concentrating for long enough to actually sit down and write something has been a…
