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…
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!
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…
Cherry Blueberry Crumble
We’re kicking off Autumn here on What Charlotte Baked with a good old fashioned crumble. But, I wanted to do something a smidge different (of course) and so instead of traditional apples, this crumble is filled with sweet juicy cherries and tangy blueberries. Maybe it’s the most American crumble of all. Does America even do…
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…
Almond Raspberry Drizzle Cake
The Great British Bake Off was back on UK television on Wednesday, and to celebrate everyone’s favourite 11 weeks of the year, every week I am going to be baking something inspired by the previous week’s theme. And to kick things off, here comes Cake Week. The signature challenge set by Paul and Mary was…
Mojito Ice Lollies
After killing it with my Peach Raspberry Ice Lollies a few weeks ago, I thought it only fitting to give my specially imported ice lolly moulds another go. And this time I went boozy. I’m pretty sure Mojitos are everyone’s favourite cocktail. They went down a storm at our recent wedding after all. And you are…
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. …
Peach Raspberry Ice Lollies
Summer is here at last! Well, at least for the weekend anyway. Is there any better way to enjoy the weekend than by spending it in our tiny little kitchen, slaving away over a stand-mixer, and making the world’s most hideous tasting chocolate cake? Yes, most definitely. On the plus side, I did manage to…
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…
Orange Carrot Cupcakes
Orange carrot cupcakes – made using both actual oranges, and orange carrots. This recipe name works on so many levels. Or maybe it’s just the two. Before we begin with today’s recipe, I’ve got to let you know that things might be a little more sparse around here for a month or two. We…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are one of my favourite thinks to bake. They are so easy to make, and result in very minimal amounts of washing up to do afterwards – which is fantastic if you don’t even have a dishwasher. They are better than other types of biscuits, because you don’t need to mess around…
Soft Amaretto Cookies (Gluten Free)
Morning everyone 🙂 Today I’m bringing you sweet and soft amaretto cookies, which include a generous helping of my alcohol of choice – Disaronno. Just a quick post today – I’ve reached the stage in the wedding planning process where my to-do list is becoming more of a to-do book. Luckily, these soft amaretto cookies…
Coconut Ice
Morning all. This is my ‘Valentine’s Day’ recipe – the ever-so unromantic Coconut Ice. I decided to make something pink, because pink = love, right? But then I went and coloured them peach. Top marks for me. I’m trying to rebuild my relationship with the peach food colouring I bought to make the peach disaster…
Flapjacks with Apricot, Cranberry & Orange
These flapjacks are perfect if you want to pretend that your New Year’s resolution to eat more healthily is still going strong, when actually these beauties include a tonne of sugar and syrup. But there’s oats and fruit, so that makes it all okay. Right? These are the type of flapjacks that are soft and…
Fortune Cookies
These Fortune Cookies are loads of fun, and they actually taste amazing too. We have a New Year’s Eve tradition in our house – board game night. There is even a trophy (it looks very similar to this one from Friends – troll doll and everything). Katie has been victorious for the past two years, but…
