Lemon is a classic flavour for a cake and works well for a crowd as everyone loves it.

Lemon And Blackberry Loaf Cake
Lemon drizzle cake is without doubt one of my favourite flavours for cake and I love the almost pudding-like texture when the lemon syrup has absorbed into the cake. Here Ive added blackberries into the middle of the mixture to create a fruity, colourful loaf which is perfect with a dollop of greek yoghurt or…
How To Save Your Baking Failure
I’ve had many a cake fail in my time and I like to think the only reason I’m good at baking now is because I’ve made so many mistakes in the past. One of the most frustrating things in life for me is spending loads of time and money making a cake only for it…

In general I usually shy away from chocolate cakes, opting for a lemon or Victoria sponge instead, so I’ve tried to develop a chocolate cake recipe that works. I love Nutella more than life so here I’ve added in chopped, roasted hazelnuts to create a similar flavour and the addition of coffee makes the whole…
Surprise Smarties Chocolate Cake
A few months ago I started volunteering for the brilliant charity Free Cakes For Kids and the latest bake I made was a smarties chocolate cake. It was a for a three-year old boy and I decided to have a relatively simple design but with a hidden smarties ‘surprise’ inside. The charity works all over…
