Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Cookie Dough Cake
So guys…Today is my birthday! And to celebrate, I’ve been a bit self indulgent and made myself a cake that basically involves all of my favourite things: Chocolate. Peanut Butter. Cookie Dough. Caramel. I mean, who wouldn’t like this combo?! It sounds rich and indulgent which it is, that’s the point, but I’ve actually made […]
Vanilla Berry Cake
I’m pleased to say that this month I’ve teamed up with Perkier and International Animal Rescue for their ‘Cakes for Apes’ campaign to help raise awareness and money for the critically endangered Orangutans in West Borneo. There are only 100,000 left in the wild… But in the 10 years IAR have been going they have […]
Easter Chocolate Cake
It’s somehow the 4th month of 2019 (time is flying by so fast isn’t it?) and April signals longer days, warmer weather (hopefully) and Easter time! Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate seems to be everywhere – along with hot cross buns, little chicks, rabbits and colourful eggs and religious symbols – so from a recipe […]
Chocolate, Fig & Raspberry Cake
With Easter coming up and the season for all things chocolate, this easy and delicious cake combines figs and raspberries for extra sweetness and a fruit touch. A vegan-friendly bake using flaxseed in place of eggs, the texture is still very spongey, soft and gooey so is almost like a brownie which is even better! […]
Strawberry & Redcurrant Cake
Spiked with strawberries and a hint of lemon, these freeze-dried redcurrants make the ideal partnership with a light and spongy cake and creamy topping. Easy to make gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan, this would be great to make for a special occasion or to impress. Another recipe working with freeze-dried product brand, Lio Licious, this recipe […]
Banana, Coffee & Pecan Cake

That’s the message for Alpro’s annual Plant Power Day on 7th March, aiming to show just how easy it is for us to enjoy more plants while reducing your carbon footprint and helping the environment. Sharing tips, hacks, recipes and ideas, although one day won’t change the world, it only takes […]
Dark Chocolate, Pear & Ginger Cake
Since Summer is slowly coming to a close, I’ve created this warming chocolate cake made with Montezuma’s incredible Spice It Up bar. ‘Tiny pieces of famous Chinese dragon ginger in dark chocolate. It doesn’t get much better!’ says co-founder Simon Pattinson, and I couldn’t agree more. I actually didn’t used to be a fan of […]
Peach, Blueberry & Almond Cake
Nature’s Finest Foods kindly sent me a selection of their fruit pots which are ideal if you’re on the go, want to add cooked fruit to recipes, or give to little ones to nibble on – Thomas loves the peach slices especially as they are soft on his teeth. I’ve been a fan of these […]
Chocolate Fudge Cake – Big Chocolate Tea Party
Every Spring, The Sick Children’s Trust run their biggest annual fundraiser, Big Chocolate Tea, which encourages anyone to bake, drink tea and eat cake for a good cause. YEARS ago my friend Ruby and I teamed up and hosted our own Mad Hatter’s themed one in North Yorkshire which was so much fun and went down […]
Cherry, Pear & Almond Cake
Mother’s Day is coming up and now the Spring is finally here (although the recent weather would say otherwise!), I wanted to celebrate by sharing one of my favourite cake recipes to date. Both my Mum and I love the combination of juicy cherries, sweet pears and nutty almonds so it was only right to […]
Mincemeat & Apple Crumble Cake
If you’re a fan of mincemeat this is the dessert for you. A cinnamon ‘shortbread’ base topped with apples and the festive essential, finished off with a crumble topping makes this a vegan-friendly, dairy-free, gluten-free and no refined sugar alternative to your dinner table on Christmas Day. It’s really easy to make and would go […]
Grape, Almond & Polenta Cake
Thanks to Grape Artisan, passionate about speciality grapes in the UK from M&S Food, I received a selection of the infamous Cotton Candy grapes alongside other unusual varieties like Sable and Vitoria, all with their own unique twist on the classic flavour. When you get sent loads of delicious, juicy artisan grapes, what do you […]
