As promised, another Schichttorte – but this time with a twist on the traditional recipe. For those of you who watched last year’s Schichttorte episode on the Great British Bake-Off, you’ll remember people commenting on the dryness of the finished cake. After all the amount of grilling, that didn’t really come as a surprise – one…
Why not fill cupcakes, while you’re at it? Somehow I can’t resist punching a hole into the golden surface of the sponge, in order to add just a little extra – marmalade, chocolates, whisky-infused oats, you name it. Perhaps all those piñatas have gone to my head a little, but when it came to making…
When it comes to children’s birthday parties, there’s nothing more entertaining than a giant piñata! This year, as a friend and I joined forces for a combined 4rth birthday bash for our daughters, the piñata had to withstand not only hordes of kids, but also an equally eager gaggle of parents who wanted a go. Fortunately…
This popular traybake is so wrong, and on so many levels, that it simply has to be right. It has everything you’d expect from a cake: it’s pretty, delicious and it contains every ingredient you’ve ever been warned about. And in double quantities. Its German name is ‘Waves of the Danube’, probably because of the beautiful…
When the email arrived in my inbox last year asking me if I wanted to take part in a cookery show, my first response was a snigger. For a start, this had to be a joke; I don’t really watch much TV, never mind cookery shows, so I was ready to dismiss the whole thing…
Strawberries are back in the shops, and although I know it is far too early, it is still tempting to buy a punnet, especially if they are on offer. They are rarely ripe enough to be eaten on the spot, but they’ll make a delicious topping for a tarte like the one Linda brought along…
The last couple of days have been incredibly busy – planning for and going away for and recovering from a May bank holiday weekend has never been easy. This year, especially with a halfway promising weather forecast, we decided to go to the coast: a caravan on Hayling Island, overlooking the Isle of Wight and…
It’s rhubarb season! When I saw Vasun’s delicious rhubarb and coconut crumble on Cupcakesncurries, I knew I had to get my first fix of the season! Little did I know that it would take 3 attempts to get the cake onto this post in one piece … The tartness and acidity of the rhubarb needs to…
When I stumbled over Selina’s poppyseed-filled dumplings on her delicious blog Krümelkreationen the other day, I knew I had to give them a go: lightly sweetened yeast dumplings, filled with ground poppy seeds and drowned in custard … my idea of paradise. You might have noticed that I have a soft spot for Austrian food,…
Today it’s been officially one year since my first post – 365 days of checking for comments, deciding on 176 recipes and working hard to create pictures that do justice to the dish … a steep learning curve is all I can say! It’s been a wonderful year, especially thanks to all of you who inspire me…
