Pumpkin Pie
This is the ultimate Autumn pudding. If you have never tried pumpkin pie, now is the time to give it a go! Although pumpkins are a very seasonal fruit, but a butternut squash will work just as well. Continue reading “Pumpkin Pie”
Oat Cookies
These are my quick ‘go to’ cookies when we are in need of a treat very quickly. Although they are chewy they also travel well and won’t crumble in lunch boxes or picnic hampers. For this reason these cookies are also our road trip treat too!
These cookies are great plain or they can be jazzed up with melted chocolate and your favourite chocolate bar as pictured. Continue reading “Oat Cookies”
Millionaires Poke Cake
I have made this cake several times experimenting with the size of poke holes, first I tried pencil sized holes (picture 1), these are great for runny sauces but with a thick caramel I don’t think the holes were large enough for quality seepage. Each time I made the cake I made the hole progressively larger until I went with an apple corer (picture 2). Well we certainly had caramel filled holes and this was certainly a hit! The down side was, with the quantity of caramel in this recipe and the fact the holes take a lot of filling the layer of caramel on the top was quite thin. You also need to take care that you do not ‘core’ through the base as the result could be a little sticky!
We all liked the larger holes with more caramel in the cake then on top. Try it and let me know what you like best! Continue reading “Millionaires Poke Cake”
Chocolate Courgette Cake
Carrot cake is perfectly acceptable in our house but when Courgette cake was mentioned everyone physically recoiled! Mum used to make courgette cake years ago and reassured me that it is was really good and you couldn’t tell there was courgette in it. Now we have a glut of courgette in the garden and the only one who eats courgette is mum; I was under pressure to do something with the ever growing supply of courgette.

White Chocolate Fudge Blondies
These White Chocolate Fudge Blondies are very similar to my Chocolate Fudge Brownies, except I have used white chocolate instead of dark chocolate to achieve the ‘blond’ look. Continue reading “White Chocolate Fudge Blondies”
Raspberry Cheesecake
It has taken me quite a while to find and perfect my cheesecakes, when I say perfect…. to make them the way my family and I like them. A while back my mum developed a cough every time she ate shop bought cakes and biscuits. When I stated making cheesecakes it soon became clear that I couldn’t use crushed biscuits for the base or it would result in a lot of suffering. I experimented with various bases and our favourites are a short bread (please see my shortbread recipe) or an oaty crumble base which I have used in this recipe for you. Because I cook the base do allow plenty of time for cooling and refrigerating. Continue reading “Raspberry Cheesecake”
Fruit Scones
You really can put almost any dried fruit into a scone, I have used raisins in these ones. Continue reading “Fruit Scones”
Honey and Lemon Scones
Lemon and honey is such a perfect combination, and in the heat of the summer lemon is so refreshing.
I used a plain runny honey, however if you favour honey that is more floral then the flavour will be much more enhanced. Continue reading “Honey and Lemon Scones”
Cheese and Marmite Scones
A perfect accompaniment to Cheese is Marmite. I realise you either love marmite or hate it. To be honest I do have to be in the mood for marmite, however the addition of marmite to these cheese scones really lifts the flavour. So if you are a marmite hater or just a mild dis-liker I do recommend giving them ago.
I have used just one teaspoon of marmite in these scones, however if you are a real marmite adorer please feel free to add more! Continue reading “Cheese and Marmite Scones”
