These gluten-free crêpes are perfect if you avoid wheat flour or simply fancy a change. They’re made with readily available ingredients – millet, oats and potato starch – so there’s no need to buy lots of specialist gluten-free flours that you might only use once or twice!
Pavlova with roasted plums and pistachios – what a wonderful combination! The meringue is crisp on the outside and soft and marshmallowy in the middle, topped with sweet, fragrant plums and crunchy pistachios. It’s a real treat! I recommend roasting
If you love Bounty bars, you’ll adore this coconut meringue cake! It has layers of crisp coconut meringue, a creamy coconut filling and a delicious chocolate topping. I used milk chocolate, but dark chocolate works just as well if you prefer a more intense
This pretty pink meringue cake is inspired by the classic Eton Mess, with layers of crisp meringue, fluffy whipped cream and fresh raspberries. It’s a lovely dessert for Valentine’s Day, especially with its delicate pink colour ;). You can make the meringue layers round, as
Torta Caprese is a classic flourless chocolate and nut cake from the Italian island of Capri. It’s traditionally made with almonds and Amaretto, but I’ve given mine a more homely twist, using walnuts and rum instead. There’s no flour or baking powder in this cake
The best apricot preserve ever :). I originally planned to make it with orange liqueur (I thought the combination would be wonderful), but a friend insisted that apricots and Amaretto are simply meant to be together ;). I don’t usually use pectin to speed things up
How to use fresh raspberries? Why not bake an Irish Cream meringue cake! Delicious meringue layers, crisp on the outside and delicate and marshmallowy in the centre, sandwiched with a light cream flavoured with Baileys. Absolutely heavenly! Instead of Baileys
I’ve never baked a cake quite like this before! It’s completely different from anything else – naturally gluten-free, made with nothing but eggs, sugar and nuts. It’s very easy to make, soft, moist and genuinely delicious. I did find it rather sweet, though, so I’d recommend slightly
Addictive chocolate Nemesis – an intensely chocolatey, moist cake with a texture like chocolate truffles. In fact, it’s hardly even fair to call it a cake – it’s so delicate that it literally melts in your mouth. There’s no flour or even ground nuts in it… just chocolate, butter and
An intensely chocolatey cake made with Cassis liqueur, a blackcurrant liqueur, and finished with a silky chocolate glaze. Its texture is reminiscent of a brownie, but it’s lighter, delicately airy and wonderfully moist. Best of all, it’s completely flourless.
This is a wonderfully delicious, intensely aromatic cake, “perfumed”, as my children like to say, with flavours and aromas that instantly transport you to the Middle East. Cardamom, lemon, rose water and rose petal preserve are the stars of the show here.
I loved the idea of this dessert from the very beginning, but I waited until I had four egg whites left over from baking Norwegian sweet buns the day before. This is it! An elegant, classic Italian dessert with a coffee twist. Crisp meringue with a delicate
I wouldn’t be myself if I hadn’t baked this cake ;). It had been on my mind for quite some time. I have to admit, though, that it isn’t to everyone’s taste – the opinions online were rather mixed – so perhaps that’s why I kept putting off making it. Now I know it was definitely
Pomegranate and rose cream meringue cake – crisp on the outside and marshmallowy in the centre. The meringue pairs beautifully with the juicy pomegranate seeds, keeping the dessert from tasting any sweeter than it actually is ;). Decorated in red and white
Poppy seed and coconut layer cake is a wonderful layered poppy seed cake that could be the star of this year’s Christmas table! Layers of poppy seed and coconut sponge are sandwiched with a delicate, lightly lemony custard buttercream and generously soaked.
Chocolate cake with cream and easter eggs is a perfect Easter treat for little and grown-up chocolate lovers alike ;). If you’d like to add this chocolate cake with cream alongside your Easter babkas, mazurkas and cheesecakes, you simply must try this recipe.
Chocolate mousse cake is an exceptionally delicate, light-as-air cake with an almost mousse-like texture – hence the name “mousse”. The name perfectly captures its light, almost melt-in-the-mouth consistency. The whipped egg whites folded into the batter
With this recipe, I’m bringing this year’s pumpkin adventure to an end. If you still have a good supply of pumpkin at home, why not preserve a little of that autumn flavour in jars? Pumpkin jam is very easy to make, but pumpkin itself needs a little company to bring
