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.
Parsnip, Carrot & Marmalade Cake with Cream Cheese Ganache
A simply beautiful peach tone cake housing a moist carrot & parsnip cake with a honey milk soak, cream cheese whipped ganache, orange bergamot marmalade and silky smooth swiss meringue buttercream.
Blood Orange Baby Cakes with Blood Orange Curd and Bay Leaf Buttercream
Blood oranges are in season so I’m obviously baking with them. This orange and almond sponge is one of my all-time favourites. Whole blood oranges are boiled and then pureed before being added into the cake batter. It makes for an incredibly moist and flavourful sponge. Plus its gluten free too!
Fig, Brown Butter & Lemon Financier Cake
Fig season is my absolute favourite season for fruit and veg. They’re beautiful, soft, sweet, delicate and the perfect hues of purple and pink. I really think they’re a thing of beauty. Unfortunately for me, fig season is extremely short. So I try to eat them as much as possible while they’re around.
Strawberry & Rhubarb Muffins
Its been a while since I baked something comforting and simple. I had some frozen Rhubarb to use up and thought it was the perfect excuse to make some muffins! Moist, light and topped with a ginger crumb; these will suit any seasonal fruit you have knocking around.
Bulgaria - Garash Cake
This delightful Bulgarian cake is made up of 5 layers of walnut meringue sponge and chocolate cream filling. Once it’s firmed up in the fridge for a few hours, its then finished with a simple chocolate shell made with chocolate and oil. Little does anyone know what beautiful layers lay beneath.
