Fudgey, comforting and a chocolate overload, it’s impossible to beat a good brownie!
Well, almost!
If you fancy your treats a little more autumnal, then when not give these guys a try!? Topped with a fusion of cornflakes and nuts and smothered in caramel, my favourite brownie recipe has just got itself an upgrade!

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!

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!

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!

Happy Pride Month! Based on the Progress Pride flag, this chocolate orange cake features a surprise rainbow striped icing inside, alongside white, brown and black sponges and chocolate shards in the blue and pink of the trans flag!

Naturally gluten free and packed with fruity flavours, this cake is perfect for sharing on a sunny summer’s day! If you haven’t given polenta cake a try yet, this recipe is a simple and delicious way to get started!

Baking a celebration cake is great fun, but it can also be a lot of pressure!

Not only are you concerned how the cake will turn out, but it’s hard to choose a flavour you think everyone will like.

In these situations, it’s time to turn to the classic Victoria sponge!
