I’ll admit that after making drop scones, I was left wanting a little more. As good as they are, ordinary griddle cakes just aren’t my favourite. What I really love are pancakes! I’d never tried making them with pineapple before, and since it’s one of Pola’s
These hummingbird cupcakes are a miniature version of the classic hummingbird cake. Made with mashed bananas, pieces of pineapple and a touch of cinnamon, they’re wonderfully moist, soft and full of flavour. They’re topped with a creamy Philadelphia frosting and decorated

A simple upside-down peach and raspberry cake inspired by the blog’s Melba series – including the favourite summer peach and raspberry pavlova cake and the no-bake peach cheesecake. This cake is delicate, enriched with ground almonds and made with buttermilk
A gingerbread cheesecake, although nothing stands in the way of calling it a cake. An incredible combination of many noble festive flavours: warming spices, cheesecake, rum, cinnamon, plum preserves and Amaretto… The cheesecake and gingerbread layers are baked
Red Velvet Whoopie Pies are soft, melt-in-your-mouth sandwich cookies that taste like little pieces of cake. Moist, lightly cocoa-flavoured and beautifully deep red in colour, they are filled with a creamy Philadelphia-style cream cheese frosting
At least once every plum season, an upside-down fruit cake is a must! This Upside-Down Plum Cake, delicately scented with orange zest, is a delicious bake that certainly won’t be making its last appearance on our table. Moist, soft and wonderfully rich
A true classic. If you’ve just come back from the garden with a bucket full of gooseberries, you’ve found exactly the right recipe ;). This is a light and fluffy gooseberry cake topped with a generous layer of buttery crumble. It’s very easy to make.
Absolutely flawless. These chocolate waffles, packed with chocolate chips, are crisp on the outside and wonderfully fluffy on the inside. They’re not overly crisp, but have that perfect balance between lightness and tenderness. They’re delicious
Brooklyn Blackout Cake is an intensely chocolatey layer cake made with plenty of cocoa, generously filled with rich chocolate pudding, coated in a thick layer of chocolate frosting and finished with dark chocolate cake crumbs. It is not overly sweet, while the sour
A simple cake with strawberries and lemon icing. Quick to prepare, requiring no mixer, and delicious. I used the recipe for your favourite cranberry and pistachio cake to create a summer version. Its texture is similar to a muffin cake, which is a big advantage if you are
Poppy seed and sunflower seed pancakes that can easily be placed in both the sweet and savoury category. They are delicious, yet different from the pancakes I have made before. They pair perfectly with fruit and sweet syrups, but they also seem to be asking
I have a suggestion for tomorrow’s breakfast – if you do not have to rush anywhere because you are on holiday. They are delicate and fluffy, even though I made them with wholemeal spelt flour. The pancake batter is very simple to make
My suggestion for this year’s Valentine’s Day. A rich chocolate cake filled with a delicious chocolate cream. Its texture is similar to a chocolate sponge cake – light, moist, irresistible and beautifully simple. It is sure to delight everyone in love, and not only them… Say

A naked gingerbread cake decorated with gingerbread cookies (my own gingerbread dough is still maturing, so this time I used shop-bought cookies). The cake is filled with a delicious peanut butter and almond liqueur cream. Of course, you can easily customise
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.
