Dulce de leche mazurek is undoubtedly the king of the Easter table. This version isn’t quite festive, as it was baked in January – more of a mix of dried fruits and nuts. For Easter, I recommend decorating it with a decorative pastry edge – it will look beautiful! It’s absolutely delicious
A delicate and fluffy cake with the addition of rhubarb and raspberries. If fresh raspberries aren’t available, you can use frozen ones – no need to defrost them first. This rhubarb and raspberry cake is perfect with a cup of tea in the afternoon. Sweet with a slightly
An absolutely irresistible chocolate courgette cake. Deeply chocolatey (you really need to enjoy dark chocolate), soft, springy, and lighter than a brownie – even if it might not look that way at first glance. It’s hard to stop at just one slice, and you won’t taste

The children went back to school today after nearly three weeks of Christmas holidays. After lunch I served their favourite cake – a rich chocolate cake that I bake and then top with fruit set in jelly. It’s not a brownie-style cake, not dense or heavy. The children

Lemon and blueberry bundt cake is a delicious lemon-flavoured cake with the addition of fresh berries. It is slightly unusual compared with many traditional Easter bundt cakes – festive bakes often include dried fruit (as in fruit cake), which also helps them keep
