Wonderful, soft and beautifully fragrant chocolate muffins. They taste a little of banana, a little of coconut, and a little of chocolate – perfectly balanced :). They’re best enjoyed warm, when the chunks of chocolate inside melt irresistibly. Perhaps that’s
A truly wonderful cake with redcurrants – everyone went back for seconds :). It’s a slightly “loaded” version of a classic butter cake. There’s a lot going on here: poppy seeds, coconut, coconut icing and those beautifully tart blackcurrants. Altogether, it’s irresistible…
A rich, moist and fluffy coconut cake packed with plenty of kiwi. Interestingly, baked kiwi tastes a bit like gooseberries :). Finished with a coconut icing, which is the perfect final touch. Highly recommended!
A classic sunken chocolate cake – baked, cooled, then filled with cream and fruit. Here, it’s paired with a delicate coconut cream and a raspberry compote – a truly wonderful combination. Finished with desiccated coconut and fresh raspberries (optional)
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
A fantastic, rich poppy seed and coconut cake. It’s not your everyday bake – quite a few ingredients, a relatively small tin, but the flavour is truly outstanding! It disappeared while still warm, which doesn’t happen often in a house where baking is a regular thing.
Delicious festive shortbread-style cookies with dried cranberries, pecans and coconut. The dough is simple to make, chilled in the fridge and doesn’t require any cookie cutters — making it perfect for easy holiday baking. Highly recommended!
Amazing Easter bundt cake. This lemon yoghurt bundt cake is fluffy and wonderfully moist, though you can brush it with a little lemon syrup if you like. A simple lemon icing is the perfect finishing touch. Highly recommended!
These coconut truffles are wonderful – intensely coconutty, made with very little butter but plenty of melt-in-the-mouth white chocolate. My husband has been making frequent trips to the fridge today! Luckily (for me) the weather cooled down a bit, so shaping them
This coconut cake with plums is one of the most wonderful butter cakes I’ve baked recently. The combination of plums, coconut and lemon might sound unusual at first, but once baked it’s impossible to resist. The cake is soft, moist and packed with fruit. Highly recommended.
A delicious gooseberry cake with a delicate hint of coconut. It is made with a buttery sponge base, topped with gooseberry custard (I used red gooseberries, though green ones work just as well), a light cream layer and a soft coconut meringue. The meringue is not crisp
Bounty loaf cake – inspired by the famous coconut chocolate bar – is a rich chocolate cake with a hidden coconut filling inside. Mine is closer to a dark chocolate version (my favourite), with an intensely chocolatey sponge, but you can use the same coconut filling
Kiwi, coconut and lime cake is an exceptionally moist tropical loaf. Adding kiwi to the batter is something a little different – it’s blended with the eggs using a hand blender, while the remaining ingredients are simply folded in. Topped with coconut icing and fresh
Wonderful coconut cookies with chunks of creamy white chocolate (or chocolate chips), where the coconut flavour is intensified by lightly toasting the desiccated coconut beforehand. Quick and easy to make, these cookies are generously sized, crisp
Raffaello Cheesecake – a delicate, creamy cheesecake with a coconut and almond flavour. Made with curd cheese and enriched with coconut cream, desiccated coconut, and two types of liqueur: coconut and almond. It is baked in a water bath to
A delicate no-bake coconut and almond cheesecake inspired by the flavour of Raffaello, decorated with ready-made pralines and sprinkled generously with desiccated coconut. Wonderfully creamy, made with plenty of coconut cream, it has a light, subtle taste
A delicate and delicious coconut cake with rhubarb and raspberries. Simple to make: the rhubarb and raspberries are baked at the bottom of the tin, and after baking, the cake is turned upside down to serve. The coconut does not dominate the flavour — it’s a lovely, subtle
Yummy coconut bundt cake with a milk chocolate topping and shredded coconut. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a mild coconut flavour, and is easy to prepare. It tastes excellent with a glass of milk.
