This egg white zebra cake is one of my favourite ways to use up leftover egg whites from other baking projects – which is exactly how this recipe came about. It’s a brilliant way to use a large batch of egg whites without making meringues.
Blackcurrant-coloured macarons filled with a silky blackcurrant curd enriched with Crème de Cassis liqueur. The vibrant and sweet purple shells contrast beautifully with the lightly tangy filling, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and fruitiness.

Red Velvet macarons were inspired by the famous American Red Velvet Cake. Of course, they must be a deep red colour and filled with a lightly salted Philadelphia cream cheese frosting. Delicious!
Continuing with the theme of chocolate and orange cakes, today I have a new chocolate meringue cake with hazelnuts and oranges. This chocolate and hazelnut meringue cake with oranges is absolutely wonderful! Intensely crisp, irresistible from the very

A double chocolate Pavlova means double the joy :). This smaller Pavlova is made with just four egg whites and features a crisp shell with a soft, marshmallow-like centre. It’s topped with Nutella cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce and finished with Maltesers.
A cake that still smells of summer… And it does not even matter if you think you do not like desiccated coconut — here, even coconut sceptics will enjoy it. The recipe author herself, Nigella Lawson, calls it a “Bounty cake”, which should already be recommendation enough :).
