This cake apparently goes by many names. I’m sure you’ve tried it before :). Sometimes it’s known as “kudłacze”, sometimes as lamingtons… Whatever you call it, it’s simply delicious. I don’t think I’ve made it in years, so it was time to dig the recipe out of my

I have a soft spot for chocolate bakes made with farmer’s cheese, so today I’m sharing yet another version of chocolate muffins with a cheesecake filling. Izaura muffins are intensely chocolatey muffins with a vanilla cheese filling, topped with chocolate glaze. They’re

The combination of rhubarb and custard is simply irresistible! This moist rhubarb layer cake has a subtle orange flavour and is filled with custard cream and roasted rhubarb. I’ve skipped the usual sponge cake here because I’ve been making so many lately, but

Perfect chocolate muffins with Nutella. Rich, deeply chocolatey and wonderfully substantial, with ground almonds adding even more texture. They’re not overly sweet – just right. And the surprise? A generous amount of Nutella hidden inside, although you can

Moist, fluffy and wonderfully fresh for days, this strawberry cake is tall and generous in size, making it perfect for sharing. It’s light and airy thanks to the addition of oil and plenty of milk. The strawberries are delicious, releasing plenty of juice as they bake, which

During the fruit season, I make Pavlova with all kinds of fruit. In summer, it’s easy to save up enough egg whites for a meringue cake – all you need to do is make proper homemade ice cream using egg yolks. This weekend I made a Pavlova with coffee cream and strawberries.

American sandwich cookies filled with peanut butter cream. Intensely chocolatey and wonderfully nutty! Chocolate whoopie pies have a texture similar to a sponge or butter cake (and are made in much the same way), staying soft and fluffy. They’re an American

A delicious and original lemon cake with blackcurrants. It’s assembled slightly differently from a traditional layer cake, creating vertical stripes of sponge separated by fruit buttercream. At first glance, it may look rather time-consuming, but it really isn’t – you can have everything

My favourite Italian pizza dough, tested and perfected many times over – simply the best! It makes a perfect, thin pizza base with a classic, slightly thicker crust that is lightly crisp on the outside yet soft inside. The toppings are entirely up to you; I’ve been

This meringue truffle cake is like one giant chocolate truffle. Despite being made in a small tin, it makes a dessert for a crowd. It’s very rich and intensely, almost bittersweetly chocolatey. It’s ready to serve after just a few hours of chilling and, when well chilled

A delicious meringue cake that is soft and marshmallowy in the centre and crisp on the outside. Meringue cake with custard and strawberries is a combination that’s impossible to resist. It tastes wonderful, but like most meringue cakes, it doesn’t keep well and

A fantastic white chocolate cake. There’s a whopping 300 g of white chocolate in the cake! It’s delicate, soft and fluffy straight after baking; as it cools, it becomes denser as the chocolate sets. This is the famous “mud cake”, but made with white chocolate.

An utterly irresistible stracciatella cheesecake with strawberries. It’s impossible to resist! Chocolate and strawberries are a match made in heaven, and this is a combination you simply have to try! And, as an added bonus, there’s no baking involved ;).

An incredibly creamy strawberry layer cake. It has everything you love: vanilla custard, stracciatella cream, strawberries and desiccated coconut. An added bonus is that it requires no baking, which is especially welcome during hot weather :).

Sweet to look at and delicately tart, these daisy-shaped shortcrust tartlets are filled with the best lemon curd, topped with fresh seasonal fruit and dusted with icing sugar. These little beauties are wonderfully dainty – for some, they might even be the perfect one-bite treat.

Delicate lemon cake with blueberries and a lemon glaze. It tastes absolutely delicious and is so easy to make – you simply mix the ingredients together :). A wonderful light and fluffy dessert. It can also be baked as muffins. Highly recommended!

Sweet, delicately coffee-flavoured cupcakes topped with a cloud of creamy frosting and a dusting of cocoa. Cupcakes that look just like little cups of cappuccino :). Light, delicate and delicious.

Possibly the most wonderful Nutella sweet rolls! Their flavour is enhanced with toasted sesame seeds, hazelnuts and freshly grated orange zest… They are absolutely delicious! These sweet rolls are quite small, so I’ve doubled the original quantity of ingredients
