Blondies are already soft and gooey and the fresh fruit will make it extra moist. I have found a little more flour is needed than usual. I have also found that these are better the next day – if you can wait that long!

As well as adding orange zest to the cake I have also given this cake an orange drizzle. I used granulated sugar in the drizzle which gives the cake a crunchy top. You can of course use caster sugar or icing sugar. Continue reading “Chocolate Orange Marble Cake”

With a mass of left over walnuts this year (I over bought) I set about developing a walnut cake with a little added spice. This cake is moist, light and moreish and I think goes well with a cream cheese icing. Continue reading “Spiced Walnut Cake”
