Carrot and Walnut Cake

I am forever trying to find the best carrot cake recipe. The above is very tasty but the frosting was too sweet and I prefer make to separate cakes than splitting one in two as it just doesnt bake as well. This recipe was from a blogger I love and its is very nice but I prefer more of a cream cheese taste to the frosting than a sugary icing sugar one. Anyhoo, it will all be demolish and in the meantime I have found a Mary Berry recipe I am going to try this weekend. On a mission to find my 'go to' cakes this year.

Oreo Cookies

What to do with a White chocolate easter egg. Make some ganache and some oreo cookies to sandwich it in! I found a ganache a little gloopy but the cookies are great straight from the freezer and left for 10 minutes.

Piggy Mud Bath

I was meeting my chocoholic pal Lisa at the weekend and in order to please her 3 year old too I thought I would add a little humour on top! ( Felicity Cloake Chocolate cake recipe/ the guardian. My go to recipe still)

Baked Chocolate Cheesecake

Well I had a tin of condensed milk in the fridge and wanted to use it up. I found this recipe for baked chocolate cheesecake on the carnation website. Ok so its very very rich, nearly like a slice of truffle on a biscuit base...whats not to like! Even for me a tiny slice is more than enough. The recipe used 300g of melted choc as opposed to other recipes I have seen with 100g. I found the mix a tiny bit sticky but still very indulgent and will all be consumed by me, hubby and family but I think over a longer period of time! I have seen another recipe with half the chocolate and using a mix of ricotta and cream cheese and sour cream which I like the sound of. Will keep you posted.

The Classics are the Best. Coffee & Walnut and Bakewell Oh My!

You just can't beat the classics! Thanks to Nigella for the coffee and walnut cake and to Hugh Fearnsley W for the bakewell squares. Am due a haircut later and with my baking I tip for a snip!

Homemade (Tunnocks) Tea cakes

Oh my, I never thought they would actually work for me! I found a fabulous blogger called the cake hunter and this is her recipe. Nostalgia here we come!.
