I've realised that I have more than 50 Loaf Cake recipes that I have not shared on here. Loaf Cakes are our go-to when we want a cake that all the family can dig into whether its with a brew at the end of the day or a lazy snack for the ...
Loaf Cake
Jamaican Ginger Cake
One of our firm favourite bakes in this house (in fact, I'm making my 2nd of the week later on today) Jamaican Ginger Cake. Yes, we do still eat the factory made variety (They last about 10 minutes in this house!) but nothing beats ...
Double Chocolate Orange Loaf Cake
A chocolate cake has to be really good for me to love it. I've never been the sort to choose Chocolate Cake on a menu over other desserts. I can vouch that this Double Chocolate Loaf Cake is top notch though. The hint of orange cuts through ...
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 ...

Brown Butter and Vanilla Cake

Cherry Streusel Loaf Cake
The Costello Kitchen was closed for a few days last week (to baking - we still manage to eat other things than cake!). BritMums and school stuff seemed to take over. The ovens are back on with a vengeance today though. I started with ...
Peach & Almond Loaf Cake – Bake of the Week
Another instalment in the Use Your Loaf recipe collection. Celebrating all that is good and versatile about the beloved Loaf Tin. This is one of my nicest bakes - I am so pleased every time it turns out. Particularly, as peaches sometimes ...
Raspberry, Almond & White Chocolate Loaf Cake – Bake of the Week
Of course, no picnic is complete without a slab of cake so on Saturday morning I got out the Loaf tin and made a Raspberry, White Chocolate and Almond Loaf. I believe you must do rustic for a true picnic so there was no decoration and just ...
