I had to play around with this recipe a few times to get it just right, and I’m so glad I persevered because these ginger and dark chocolate bars are absolutely delicious! They’re chewy and oaty with a tasty hint of ginger. The dark chocolate layer at the bottom finishes them off perfectly. I would definitely classify these as a treat snack, and they are rather lovely as an afternoon pick-me-up.
When it comes to flavour combinations lemon and coconut are firm friends, and they combine beautifully in this fluffy layer cake. Whether you’re looking for a celebration cake or just something special to enjoy at tea time with the family this cake is a fantastic bake.
I’ve been so looking forward to this Easter weekend and a chance to slow down, catch my breath for a few days and enjoy time with my family. We’re keeping things very simple this year without all the fuss and frills, but there will still be plenty of treats to enjoy. I decided to put together a round up of decadent Easter dishes that you can make over the coming weekend.
Easter is around the corner and I decided to give one of my favourite bread dough recipes a chocolate twist for the occasion. This brioche dough is enriched with milk, egg and butter making it extra delicious and soft. It’s really easy to work with and the buns are utterly divine to eat!
We are obsessed with stone fruit at the moment, especially plums. If only their season could be longer! We’ve been enjoying peaches, plums, mangoes and cherries in all sorts of recipes but mostly straight from the fridge – such an easy and delicious snack, especially when it’s hot outside. The end of season is fast approaching, and I wanted to get a quick plum recipe in before that happens.
What do you do when you find a jar of molasses at the back of the pantry? You grab your apron and whip up some ginger cookies! I love the depth of flavour that molasses adds to ginger flavoured bakes. I’ve also used muscovado sugar and crystallised ginger in this recipe and the resulting flavour is incredible.
The holiday season is on the horizon (are you counting the days like me?) and that means there’ll be lots of gatherings coming up. This latest recipe is perfect for entertaining and I hope you’ll love it as much as I do. Besides tasting great this snacky delight is also something that you can whip up relatively quickly. The crackers can be baked in advance and the feta can be whipped in minutes, so there’s no last minute stressing just before your guests arrive.
We love a batch of freshly baked muffins around here, and these delightfully soft and light apple muffins with a crispy crumble topping are fabulous for tea time. Apple and cinnamon is a flavour match made in heaven, and these muffins come together easily using ingredients that you’ll find in your pantry.
