Mention the words “hot fudge sauce” and immediately I think of rich, chocolatey deliciousness. This quick recipe is perfect for dessert emergencies or spontaneous chocolate cravings, and in my opinion is better than store-bought sauce. I remember making a similar recipe as a child and drizzling the sauce over vanilla ice cream – the best! So, it was time to recreate that food memory and I’m so pleased with the results.
This week, we’re diving into a cosy bake that’s just right for tea time gatherings or as a birthday spoil. My husband and I celebrate our birthdays this week so a cake theme seemed fitting! This one’s a goodie – soft chocolate cake meets juicy and sweet pears, all topped with a crispy and buttery chocolate crumble. It’s a cake recipe that brings simple elegance to your table.
In Cape Town at this time of the year the weather keeps us on our toes – you never quite know what you’re going to get. Overall it’s milder, the days are sunny and the evenings are cooler (my idea of heaven)… with the odd scorcher, sudden downpour or balmy evening snuck in between. Basically, in this in-between season, we need to be ready for anything!

Holidays like Easter bring out my inner child. I love the egg hunts (you’re never too old in my opinion), the treats, the pastel colours – it’s hard not to get excited! Of course, having kids keeps that magic and excitement alive and these adorable Easter basket cupcakes are the perfect holiday baking project for them to enjoy.
Last month I tried making frozen yoghurt bark for the first time. This light and refreshing snack could not be easier to make and I was so happy with the results. I also get very excited when I try something new and the kids love it (mom win!). When they’re craving a sweet treat or something cool on a hot afternoon then this frozen yoghurt bark hits the spot.
Valentine’s Day is coming up and if there’s one treat that never gets old it’s chocolate! This triple chocolate dessert is perfect for spoiling your loved ones (and yourself) and is sure to sweeten up your celebration. It’s dark and rich (not too sweet, which I love) and has a gooey melted chocolate centre. Creamy vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries complement these warm brownie pots beautifully, it’s pure indulgence.

Let me start this post by saying that as parents I don’t think we need to be packing gourmet Pinterest-worthy lunchboxes every day, we are pressured enough as it is! However, I do think that variation and balance are important, and so the purpose of this post is simply to put lots of ideas out there so you can pick and choose the components that you think your children will enjoy and that are do-able in your home.
It’s my last post for the year and of course it had to be a festive recipe. I’ve been busy in the kitchen baking edible gifts and trying to do as much advance prep as I can for Christmas dinner and if you’re there too I hope it’s going smoothly! We’re ending the year on a sweet note with a recipe that’s inspired by a classic. Let’s face it, trifle is wildly popular at this time of the year but (confession time) I’m really not a fan. I think it’s the soggy combination of boozy finger biscuits, custard and jelly and the piles of cream on top that give me the heebie-jeebies, and it’s just not a dessert that I’ve ever taken to. There are very few dishes that I’ll avoid but when it comes to trifle I’m on a strict “no thanks” diet, ha!
