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…

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,…
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…
Super Berry Granola Cookies
And just like that, Easter was done. If you’re anything like me, then you are pretty much sick to death of chocolate right now. It won’t last past Sunday, but for now I’m ready to get my sugar hit from much less chocolatey treats. And that’s exactly why these Super Berry Granola Cookies are the…
Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake
Because spring is here (apparently), I’ve been doing a spot of spring cleaning around here. If you’re a regular reader of this blog then you might just notice a couple of changes to the homepage – you’ll now be able to find seasonal categories when you first arrive here, as well as my latest posts…
Hummingbird Sheet Cake
Today’s recipe was incredibly hard to photograph. I’m not sure why, but there’s something about a hummingbird sheet cake that just doesn’t come across well on screen. Too much brown and beige I think. It’s basically the cake version of me – as soon as you point a camera at either of us, everything just…
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…
Raspberry White Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, and if you’ve completely forgotten (or have just got back from an amazing holiday in Florida and forgot all about it) then have I got the cookies for you! Side note: these cookies also work for non-romantic occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, Fridays… Basically, these raspberry white chocolate sugar…
Cherry Amaretto Fudge
February’s pretty much here, and with it brings a whole host of pink things. Yep, it’s going to be all hearts and chocolate around here for the next couple of weeks. You may say that all this pink is just me trying to hide from the fact that I’m turning 30 in 5 days. You’d…
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…
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…
Apricot & Marzipan Breakfast Rolls
Who doesn’t love breakfast? It’s the number one meal of the day in my book (well, apart from the 8pm Cadbury chocolate button binge, of course). And sometimes a bowl of cornflakes just doesn’t cut it. For those occasions when you really need to step up your breakfast game, I’ve got just the recipe for…
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…
Caramel Peach Pavlova
And so, the wettest British summer of all time continues. At least I’ve got no annual leave left, so I’m stuck safely away in an (almost) waterproof office all day. And I’m spending my evenings all curled up on the sofa with a blanket, Netflix, and thoughts of autumn leaves and pumpkins. So there’s that. …
Clementine & Prosecco Jam
The inspiration for today’s recipe came from some bubble bath. I bet that’s not a phrase that’s often bandied about on baking blogs, but it’s 100% true. I loved the smell of my Clementine and Prosecco bath soak so much that I knew I needed to make some jam based on it. And so my…
Creamy Lemon Ice Pops
Possibly the easiest recipe in the whole world coming at you today. Only three ingredients – yogurt, lemons, and a little bit of runny honey. Mix them altogether, wait six hours, and you’ve got yourself some creamy lemon ice pops. So many confessions to make today. Firstly, those aren’t popsicle sticks. I used up the…
Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes
If you’ve been around here before, you might be aware of my undeniable love for cherries and chocolate. Black forest gateaux is my all-time favourite dessert, and I’ve already shared a few choc/cherry recipes with you before, including my chocolate cherry loaf cake, chocolate cherry hot cross buns, and my chocolate cherry mini pavlovas. But…
Ombré Summer Berry Ice Pops
Yep, it’s getting seriously summery around here. On Monday I gave you my Pimm’s Cupcakes, and today I’m turning up the summer sun to 11 with these gorgeous Ombré Summer Berry Ice Pops. They’re beautiful, easy to make, and are packed full of summer berries. So, what are you waiting for? One of my earliest…
Pimm’s Cupcakes
I absolutely love tennis. I can’t play it for toffee, but the two weeks of the year when Wimbledon is on TV is one of the best times of the year – second only to Christmas, obvs. I’ve been lucky enough to go to Wimbledon three times (maybe four?) and there are a few things…
Peach Lemonade
It’s the first of July tomorrow so I guess that means we are already half way through 2017. Somehow. The super sunny weather may seem like a distant memory, but I’ve got you covered with the summeriest soft drink around – my gorgeous peach lemonade. Because seriously, what’s more sunshiny than sweet juicy peaches and…
Apple Raspberry Danish Braid
Has this not been the sunniest week ever, or what? Somehow I always seem to pick the best weeks to take off work – especially as we are holidaying here in the UK this year. And have I got a summery treat for you today, even if you are stuck inside the office. Meet my…
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…
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…
