We love this fruit cake for its soft texture and delicate crumb. It is quite different from a traditional rich fruit cake, as it contains no added fat and no raising agents. Like a classic sponge cake, it rises solely thanks to properly whipped egg whites. Some people find
This coconut and passion fruit cake is full of light, tropical flavours that truly deserve your attention :). The cake is beautifully fragrant with passion fruit, only lightly coconutty in flavour, and wonderfully quick and easy to prepare. There is no creaming involved
A wonderfully lemony Basque cheesecake! Rich, ultra-creamy and full of fresh lemon flavour, with the signature deeply caramelised top. It feels wonderfully spring-like, despite the winter weather still lingering outside ;). It now joins my delicious collection of Basque cheesecakes.
Advocaat truffles are perfect for a festive afternoon treat and beautifully fragrant with egg liqueur — you can even use a homemade version. These homemade chocolates can be shaped into classic round truffles or made using chocolate moulds. Once coated in chocolate
Another white chocolate cheesecake for the collection — because if not here, then where? ;). This time, I didn’t quite follow Yotam Ottolenghi’s original proportions and reduced the amount of white chocolate. Even for me, 600 g in one relatively small
Mazariner are decadent Swedish tartlets made with a buttery shortcrust pastry, filled with a delicate almond mixture and finished with a tangy lemon icing. Traditionally baked in oval moulds, though a standard muffin tin works perfectly well. The pastry is wonderfully crisp
Mini Easter cheesecakes topped with chocolate ganache and Cadbury Creme Eggs. These iconic little eggs are incredibly popular across the UK during Easter. While undeniably very sweet, they have a loyal fan base! They make a charming decoration for Easter
For those who don’t own a traditional bundt tin but still want to bake something special for Easter — this cake is just the thing. In fact, it’s so light and delicate that it wouldn’t hold its shape well in a classic bundt mould anyway. It tastes absolutely divine — truly irresistible
A light and fluffy cheesecake made with egg whites, paired with a delicious buttery shortcrust base. To make this cheesecake, you’ll need quite a lot of egg whites! It’s the perfect recipe to use them up after occasions like Fat Thursday (when making doughnuts
An orange bundt cake made with a whole orange (yes – including the peel!) or, if you prefer, a wonderfully moist orange cake baked in a standard tin. Delicious, delicate, moist. Although I didn’t manage to bake it for Easter, I happily returned to the recipe a few days
A light, moist and delicately crumbly chocolate Easter cake with a hint of cardamom. It’s based on a classic sponge-style cake made with potato starch (with a few tweaks – swapping the flours and adding cocoa). This is a great option if you don’t enjoy creaming butter
The name “Snowy Fluff” perfectly reflects both the look and the taste of this dessert – I can absolutely vouch for that :). This no-bake cheesecake is made with curd cheese, jelly and whipped cream, topped with toasted coconut flakes. It’s not overly sweet, wonderfully

For me, November smells like apples, nuts, spiced tea, and Scandinavian bakes… Like a squirrel, I stock up on nuts for winter ;). This maple walnut bundt cake was simply a must. A rich pecan-maple filling hidden inside a soft, buttery cake – there’s something truly special
An absolutely irresistible carrot Bundt cake with ground almonds and a delicate orange flavour. Perhaps it’s time to start a new Easter tradition – serving this moist, aromatic cake with its beautiful golden-orange colour? The finely grated carrots blend seamlessly
Seromak – also known as poppy seed cheesecake – is one of my favourite flavour combinations. And since my husband absolutely loves poppy seeds in any form, I didn’t need much convincing to bake it. I must admit, this recipe is exceptional
A classic vanilla and chocolate marble bundt cake – perfectly sweet, beautifully soft and one of the best I’ve ever baked. Highly recommended.
A wonderfully simple oil-based bundt cake, found in my grandfather’s old recipe notebook. A classic bundt cake that many of you will likely recognise. Dust it with icing sugar, add a cocoa swirl, or drizzle with icing or chocolate – however you like. It’s always
