These chocolate cherry cupcakes by Nigella Lawson (from How to Be a Domestic Goddess) taste absolutely wonderful. They are soft, delicate and beautifully fragrant, while the cherry jam keeps them wonderfully moist. I will definitely be returning to this recipe very soon
A true British classic and one of the most beloved puddings in the UK. Sticky Toffee Pudding is a moist, rich date sponge served warm and drenched in a luscious toffee sauce. While the sponge itself is made with dates, the real essence of this dessert lies in the decadent toffee

Perfect chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel and popcorn. Honestly, it’s hard to resist at every stage of making them: licking the bowl with the batter, tasting the caramel, then the delicious frosting… Topped with popcorn (oh my!) and drizzled with extra caramel sauce.
A baking theme that’s been popular for quite some time – unicorns! It’s safe to say that unicorn cupcakes never go out of style, and you’re never too old for them. I originally planned to make them for Children’s Day, but didn’t manage in time – so I made them later…
This time, I wasn’t the one baking. Whenever my older daughter has a friend over, they often disappear into the kitchen and… bake. First, they choose a recipe from one of the cookbooks, then gather all the ingredients and equipment they need. These are their first steps in the kitchen
Another take on a flavour combination that’s already a favourite on the blog – alongside the Rocher meringue torte and Rocher cake, these irresistible chocolate hazelnut cupcakes simply had to happen. I made them for Children’s Day… don’t ask who ate the most ;).

I have a feeling cherry season is coming to an end… so I decided to say goodbye with these simple and delicious cupcakes. The cherries are baked into the cake and also used to decorate the chocolate topping. A small addition of yoghurt makes them extra light and fluffy.

Beautiful, spring-like and absolutely delicious. For this recipe I used a traditional all-in-one sponge-style cupcake batter – still one of my all-time favourites! Chocolate chips work perfectly in these cupcakes. Today they’re presented in an Easter version, topped
Delicious pistachio cupcakes for true pistachio lovers! They’re also the perfect way to satisfy your pistachio cravings if, like me, you’re feeling a little short of them after the holidays ;). These cupcakes are triple pistachio: ground pistachios are added to the sponge, pistachio
