Peanut Butter Choc Chip Cookies

These cookies are made with peanut butter, rye wheat flour and oat flakes. I left them in the oven for double the time and although I love a crunchi cookie I should have left them in for the recommended 20 mins.

The recipe is from my new Dan Lepard Cook book and I will definately be making them again. With more oats and chocolate of course...or perhaps leave the choc chips out and dip half the cookie in melted chocolate instead.

A recipe to be customised a little but a definite thumbs up.

Blueberry Sour Cream Cake, Pecan Bourbon Brownies, Cookies!

It sank! Hummingbird Chocolate Malt Cake

I wasnt going to post this cake ( clearly from my photo of it in the fridge above the soup and eggs!) but I wanted to share the good and the bad. Now dont get me wrong, this cake is totally edible but when all three sponge layers sink and you dont know why, its very frustrating!

Like alot of the Hummingbird Cake recipes...its a very sweet cake. The malt cream cheese frosting is very very good however.

I wouldnt make it again as it's just too sweet and thats coming from a sweet tooth. But for a malt/malteser fan its a must!.

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.
