‘Kitchen Sink’ Carrot Cake

The autumn nights are beginning to draw in, which to me means one thing: it’s peak baking season! I’m far too impatient to wait to experience all of my favourite autumnal baking tropes, so I’ve thrown them all into one recipe: my ‘Kitchen Sink’ Carrot Cake! Beautifully moist with complex flavours that change with every bite, you won’t be disappointed if you are looking for a celebration of the fall season!

Personal Prosecco Pavlovas

Pavlovas always make for striking desserts at any table, but they do need a long time to dry out in the oven and can crack all too easily. If you need a more reliable option in a hurry, then why not try some personal pavlovas? This recipe features a vanilla flavoured meringue, prosecco whipped cream and is topped with a variety of berries, making it ideal as a light summer dessert!

Orange and Cardamom Cake

Fancy a traditional sandwich cake, but with more exciting flavour? That’s where the orange and cardamom come in! With a beautifully light sponge and fresh, summer flavours, I’ve suggested that you pair this cake with a vanilla creme mousseline as a distinct upgrade over a regular buttercream! This adds a richness to the cake that makes it just that much more pleasurable to eat and suggests that this is a treat to be savoured!

Gluten-Free Chocolate Muffins

If I’m baking cakes for a big gathering, this recipe is one of the first I turn to! A simple bake which everyone knows and loves, the last batch of these I made disappeared in about 3 minutes, so I’m pleased to say that they clearly appeal!
They’re also near infinitely customisable, working well as both muffins and cupcakes and very accepting of additional fillings, making this a great staple chocolate cake recipe to get to grips with!
