This cake is dark, rich and chocolatey. It’s probably the easiest chocolate cake in the world and can’t fail but to impress. It may be gluten-free but is full of flavour!
Although I started the Christmas season with good intentions of making my own Christmas puddings this year (I even went out to buy appropriately shaped bowls), I never got round to it. So enter this suitably seasonal cupcake recipe, perfect for a last minute Christmas baking hit.
It’s gooey and sticky but really easy to make. There’s no skill involved in the mixing and no matter how rough you are the sauce still forms perfectly at the bottom of the sponge while it’s baking. What could be better on a cold Winter’s day?
This soda bread is great for breakfast and fills the house with a delicious chocolatey smell during baking, while being somewhat more savoury in flavour than a chocolate cake. Given the short amount of time involved in making it and the ease in which it comes together, why not give it a go?
This cake is something my Mum used to bake each year when I was small. Turns out it’s nothing more complicated than a chocolate swiss roll both filled with and smothered with a chocolate butter icing.
3 Michelin star cooking this is not, but it is easy and very tasty!
This is the first year that I’ve made my own mince pies but was so impressed with the results that I’ll definitely do it again. Give it a go yourself and you’ll see what I mean; the pastry is deliciously crumbly and so much better than you can buy in the shops.
A brioche is a cross between a bread and a cake. While quite bread-like in texture, it includes eggs and sugar in the recipe. This creates something absolutely perfect for breakfast slavered with (my favourites) Nutella or Apricot jam. Delicious!
Originally called “Easy Rich Chocolate Cake” and found in River Cottage: Everyday, surely this is the greatest chocolate cake in the world – it’s made of little more than chocolate and butter, after all, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
The challenge is on. Can you do an even better job of baking a Zebra Cake than Jane did?
