Carrot Cake with Burnt Honey Custard Diplomat
An elevated classic for those who adore a carrot cake but want something a little special. This is my favourite carrot cake recipe at the moment. It’s full of earl grey soaked sultanas and lots of orange zest. It’s incredibly moist. It’s topped with the most silky burnt honey custard diplomat cream. Honey is cooked on the stove until bubbling and amber before being turned into a pastry cream. Once set, it’s whipped up with double cream to leave you with a deliciously light cream which tastes like sweet caramelized honey.
Forced Rhubarb & Ginger Gingham Swiss Roll
This pink gingham swiss roll is whimsical and it adds a pop of colour to your afternoon coffee and cake. I am a true rhubarb lover and, like many other foodies, await the arrival of forced Rhubarb as if its Christmas morning. Pair it with fluffy ginger cream and it's absolute heaven.
Pear, Cereal Milk & Ginger Layer Cake
A slice of all things delicious. Comforting spicy ginger cake, caramel pear compote and a sweet cereal milk infused pastry cream which is whipped up with mascarpone.
Brown Butter, Chai Spice Banana Loaf
I love banana cake, I love brown butter, I love chai lattes and I also love dulce de leche. Put all of those things together and you have this lovely, comforting slice.
Dark Chocolate & Cherry Brown Butter Streusel Muffins
I’m not a huge muffin gal but every once in a while I get an itch for both making muffins and eating them. They’re low effort, high reward. So easy to make but my goodness they’re delicious. I like to think of these as my grown up muffins. The batter is buttery and light but it’s packed full of indulgent dark chocolate and juicy rich cherries. I’ve browned the butter in the streusel to add in some nutty caramel flavour and it makes for a really great muffin.
Apricot & Elderflower Cake with Crème Fraiche Cream
A wonderful celebration of Apricots. A simple victoria sponge soaked in elderflower syrup topped with a crème fraiche cream, punchy apricot compote and roasted apricot halves. A stunning slice to ring in the summer months.
