Coconut and Chocolate Ganache Cake


If you go weak in the knees for warm, chocolatey, buttery flavours – this recipe is definitely one for you.
It’s a cake that seduces - rather than shouts from the hilltops. It has a soft squidgy coconut base infused with vanilla and caramel. And if that weren’t already enough, It’s topped with a generous layer of fudgey chocolate ganache that sends the whole wonderful thing heavenwards. Read more

Sweet Potato Brownies

I’m a huge fan of cakes made with vegetables. They’re such an easy low carb substitute for wheat flour and they give a cake sponge a great consistency.

Upside Down Plum Cake

This lovely fruity cake was inspired by some beautiful ripe plums I bought recently. They begged me to incorporate them into a cake. Knowing better than to argue with a ripe plum I sliced and marinated them overnight in a smidgen of cinnamon, bayleaves and vanilla, to make their flavour sing. I then whizzed up this light, moist sponge with warm gingery undertones as a fitting throne to sit them on.Read more

Fudgey Marble Brownie


This is such a pretty wee cake. It’s also creamy chocolate fudge bliss on a plate. And ultimately that’s what matters the most.
It would be perfectly reasonable to assume that the gorgeous, soft chocolate wodge that defines a brownie, can’t possibly be improved upon. But try adding a delicious vanilla cheesecake cream to that aforementioned wodge and I think you’ll find that it can! Read more
