coconut cake with homemade banana jam

04:02 Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »


the idea of banana cake drenched with some coconut milk icing is known however i wanted to turn that on its head with a coconut based cake with banana jam instead as there is no doubt the flavours agree with one another. Eaten alone- it is sweet, puddingy and decadent enough- is charming.

I got my oh so tasty jam recipe from the below link

The favourite cafe cake. I used an ordinary coffee sponge recipe for this-using Mary Berrys latest book. I had about 25g of almonds left and so added that to the mix, leaving out a bit of flour.

I decided to attempt some bread and bread that does not require much rising being as last time i made bread it resembled a pancake.

A fan of a bit of sweetness to a savory dish i had to garnish it with some caramelised onions and gruyere. Surprisingly it did rise! yay!

White Chocolate and Rasperry sponge with chocolate chunks

05:29 Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »


We all know rasperry and white chocolate harmonise one another the sharp and the smooth milkiness. I wanted to shake that up a bit and add in some dark chocolate chunks in the sponge.

Topped with a bit of my raspberry jam.

A step on from the previous lovely apple and blackberry crumble is a cake of this type.
Lovely served warm with cream or ice cream.

I hand picked the berries and apple with my father on a lovely Sunday afternoon and what better to bake than a crumble with the two.

Irish apple cake

07:51 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »




My Irish ancestory must have screamed out to me to bake this one, an Irish bramley apple cake with a touch of cinnamon. I loved the sourness the bramley added, a nice dense, doughy consistency for the cake- the idea is it is more of a pudding. Topped with some vanilla sugar and cinnamon again and some cream is lovely with this.
