Applesauce Fruit Loaf
This has to be the fruitiest fruit loaf ever-and it’s so simple to make! I found this recipe on a UK site and was intrigued. It started out by making apple pulp, by cooking apples in a small volume of water until soft-basically making apple sauce. So, I thought, would it work if I just…
Cherry Madeira
I really like cherry cakes, made with glace cherries. I came across a recipe for Cherry Madeira cake that sounded nice and simple. A madeira cake doesn’t have anything to do with the islands of the same name. It’s actually named that because it was considered the perfect accompaniment for a glass of madeira wine,…
Mixed Berry Tea Loaf
I recently had the chance for a delve in Bulk Barn. It’s in Yarmouth so I don’t get there that often, but it’s the only place I can now reliably get self-raising flour (or ‘self-rising’, as it seems to be known as here) and I was all out. I used to be able to buy…
Blueberry-Lemon Loaf
It’s been a while, mainly because my oven broke down. I was whipping up a traybake cake and had put the oven on to warm up whilst I was mixing. When I looked at it, 30 minutes later, it hadn’t managed to reach 100˚F yet-what a disaster! Nothing I did was making it work. At…
Banoffee Bread-and-Butter Pudding
Do you ever get the fancy for something a bit different for dessert? I did, yesterday. It would have to be something that I could make using things that we had in the house, though-I couldn’t actually go and buy something, that would be cheating too much. We are trying not to eat too many…
Another Birthday-Another Cake
Lemon Raspberry Drip Cake I think that I mentioned that I was trying to improve my icing techniques and, believe me, they can take some improving. I’ve always liked the look of those ‘drip’ cakes, with the perfect ring of drips running down the length of the cake, and this seemed like a good chance…
Easy Fruitcake, with Custard Buttercream
I was looking for more fruitcake recipes, ones not including banana for preference. Not that I dislike banana breads, far from it, but a change is as good as a rest. Anyhow, when I came across a recipe for ‘easy’ fruitcake, that made me look twice. It was made with oil, rather than butter, which…
Double Biscuits
This one is a bit of a blast from the past! When I was a girl, really before I was maybe 10 or 11 (yes, I do have a good memory!), I remember that Mum used to occasionally make biscuits or what she called ‘tablet’. As those in the know might guess, Mum was Scottish,…
Double White Chocolate Raspberry Cake
Birthday time again, so I was looking around for a new cake recipe. I don’t know why I bother, really, as the birthday boy would be quite happy with the ultimate chocolate cake, every time (see The Ultimate-Chocolate Cake). Still, I like to try something new and I thought that a lighter cake would be…
Chocolate-chip Banana Bread
So Mark is putting up with the fruit loaves but he did ask if I could find one with chocolate in it. No sooner said than done! Chocolate and bananas are good bedfellows, anyway, so it should be good. I found a recipe, on line-another of those UK recipes in grams only (I really recommend…
