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…
Pink Lemonade Curd
Summer’s well and truly here now guys – Kate’s even swapped the winter duvet for the summer one. And to celebrate let’s get cooking up some pink lemonade curd. Zesty lemons and tangy raspberries come together to create something a little bit special. And it’s totally do-able for anyone. Yes, even you! This isn’t the…
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…
Strawberry Eton Mess Cupcakes
There are cupcakes. And then there are these incredible Strawberry Eton Mess Cupcakes. Strawberry cakes, filled with sweet strawberry jam, and topped with a very special extra creamy flour buttercream. Oh, and don’t forget the fresh strawberries and meringue pieces on top. It’s all the best bits of British summer-time, in a cupcake. Let’s start…
Coconut Lime Cupcakes
After last week’s very summery Raspberry Lemon Swiss Roll, I’m continuing on the path of pretending it’s summer in April by giving you the most tropical of all cakes – Coconut Lime Cupcakes. Summer, come at me. You might be thinking, Charlotte, those cupcakes look awfully coconutty (and a bit wintery) with their snowy coconut…
Raspberry Lemon Swiss Roll
A light and airy vanilla sponge, filled with fresh raspberries, whipped double cream, and a generous helping of tangy lemon curd. I think you’ll agree that today’s Raspberry Lemon Swiss Roll is quite possibly the best Swiss Roll in the world. It’s definitely the summeriest ☀️ Okay, fair enough, it does have a crack or two on…
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…
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…
Champagne Truffle Ice Cream
I’ve been making a whole load of ice cream lately – there was this lemon ripple ice cream from a few weeks ago, as well as the pistachio ice cream that apparently never actually made it to the blog. Maybe it was just too tasty? Or maybe I just didn’t have the light or time…
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…
Lemon Ripple Ice Cream
… that doesn’t really look all that ripply. Apologies. I put plenty of sprinkles on it though, does that count? The supposed ripples in this homemade lemon ice cream come in the form of lots of tangy lemon curd. My lemon curd came from a jar, but bonus points if you make your own. I’ve…
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…
