I’m baaa-aaack. It’s been a while (over a month actually) since I last popped in to share my coconut angel food cake recipe, and I’m hoping that today’s Snickers Cheesecake Bars will be just the ticket to help you forgive me. Pretty please? As I mentioned last time, I have had a very good reason…

50 One Bowl Recipes to Save on Washing Up
If you’re new around here – Hi, I’m Charlotte, and I’m such a lazy baker. Add that to the fact that I don’t own a dishwasher, and the result is a constant pile of dishes next to the sink, that almost always includes many baking bowls. And we’ve got a tiny tiny kitchen. Bad times….
Cherry Bakewell Slices
I’m bringing you some full on British springtime today, even if the snow ruined my weekend. Yep, cancelled plans are part and parcel of living in the UK in March apparently. But not having my friends come to stay meant that I could clock some extra hours in the world’s smallest kitchen and bake some Cherry…
Maltesers Tiffin
As with all my bakes in the last few weeks, there’s a Florida-inspired story behind today’s recipe. We flew out to Orlando from London Gatwick, and got to experience the calming atmosphere of Virgin Holiday’s V-Room lounge before our flight. If you know me IRL at all, you’ll know that I absolutely hate flying. It’s…
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…
Ferrero Rocher Brownies
In my last essay post I promised that normal service would be resumed as soon as possible, and here it is: Ferrero Rocher Brownies. You guys seem to be loving last year’s Ferrero Rocher Pavlova recipe a whole lot this festive season, and so I couldn’t resist breaking open a box of my favourite Christmas chocolates and…
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…
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!…
Caramel Apple Bars
Caramel Apple Bars… because apparently everything I make this autumn has to have a crumble topping. This is defintely a case of a recipe that tastes so much better than it photographs. I even went to the effort of trying to jazz things up with a bit of maple syrup icing. It’s not my fault…
Double Chocolate Millionaire’s Shortbread
Millionaire’s shortbread is one of my all-time favourites. How could I possibly make it better? As always, the answer turned out to be more chocolate. This is a triple whammy of perfection. On the bottom, you’ve got a soft and crumbly chocolate shortbread base. Incredibly simple and quick to make, with plenty of cocoa 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…
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…
Salted Caramel Brownies (Gluten Free)
Happy Wednesday! It’s almost the weekend (well, kind of), and to celebrate I have got some absolutely devine salted caramel brownies to share with you today. They are bloody gorgeous. Controversially, salted caramel isn’t really one of my favourite flavours. Why on Earth did I make these salted caramel brownies then? Well, ever since Alexa…
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…
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…
