Tropical Ginger Traybake
I find it hard to think about bakes that are easier and more handy than a good traybake. So versatile, they can be chopped into huge chunks or dainty slices if more portions are needed. Most of my traybake recipes are really speedy bakes ...
Coffee Walnut Loaf Cake
You can't beat the comfort of an old baking favourite. I was just in the mood for a slice of cake to enjoy with my brew and my latest book, so Coffee & Walnut Loaf Cake it was. Simple decorations work best with this - Some powdered ...

This has turned out exactly as I imagined/hoped it would. If you are a fan of Mint Aeros, then this is the cake for you! Not too many ingredients and fairly quick to make. Bake of the Week RoundUp My chosen featured bake for ...
Apple, Date and Cinnamon Flapjacks
Sometimes you should just accept that things are not going to go your way - The first 2 times of making these Apple, Date & Cinnamon Flapjacks was one of these times - I came down with a rotten cold on Sunday evening but tried to ignore ...
