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.

Layered Ginger Cake with Caramel Frosting
Since I’ve been pregnant, ginger has been a lifesaver and I just can’t enough of it. This inspired my latest recipe working in collaboration with Graham’s The Family Dairy using their super creamy but fat-free Quark, a staple in my fridge that can be used for all kinds of sweet and savoury dishes. You can […]
Not-So-Indulgent Chocolate Easter Cake
I think out of all the Easter-themed recipes I have created and posted on my blog recently, this is my favourite Easter #IndulgingInnocently creation. To coincide with International Sweet Potato Week (from 1st – 13th April) in collaboration with American Sweet Potatoes (you may have seen my other recipes over here) I’ve created a wonderfully delicious […]
Orange, Almond & Polenta Cake
With Mother’s Day coming up and the signs of Spring in full bloom, it’s all about vibrant colours and a change in direction for foods we’re craving. Of course, that still means including cake in your life 😉 Recently I’ve been introducing more polenta into gluten-free baking and feel like I’ve achieved the ideal consistency […]

Mood-Boosting Berry Vanilla Crumble Cake
On behalf of Seasonal Berries I was challenged to create a mood-boosting recipe as part of their Be Berry Bright campaign. “Relying on high sugar foods, biscuits and crisps to keep us going can leave us riding the blood sugar rollercoaster. We feel buzzed for a spell but soon our energy, concentration and mood can […]

Ladies, gentlemen, we’re close to that day of the year when people go crazy for all things heart-shaped and love-themed… Yes, whether you’re a single pringle ready to mingle or happily married with a baby on the way (guilty), you can’t escape good old Valentine’s Day! I don’t personally see what all the fuss is […]
