Lemon-glazed Carrot & Pineapple Muffins {gluten and dairy-free}

February 12, 2015

Consistency. It can be a good thing. It can also not be a good thing. My dad always used to call me (or rather, my actions) like a “bull at a gate”. If you can imagine a bull at a gate, charging, not using a lot of logic. Running, crashing, with no real thought of…

Lemon Blueberry Polenta Cake in a Mug

October 24, 2014

Spring has sprung!! The sun is out (most days) and the trees are blossoming. The birds are nesting, and all’s right with the world. Amazing, isn’t it, how the mood lifts when the sun is shining?! It does with me, and I know I’m not the only one. It’s even been warm enough to visit…

Easy Microwave Lemon Curd + Lemony Wholemeal Pikelets {toddler approved}

We grew up with a large lime tree out the back. My mother made countless Lemon Meringue pies with the juicy, yellow fruit. It was only the other week that I realised that it was indeed a lime tree, and not lemon! We were over at the in-laws picking ripe, yellow limes off the ground…

Double-Lemon Shortbread

When you see him eating cake for breakfast, you know you’re onto a good thing. Being the proud baker that I am, it makes my heart sing when Alex enjoys what I create in the kitchen. It can be a bit of a hit and miss thing because we tend to like different things. But I…

Lemon Syrup Polenta Cake

November 10, 2013

I had to buy lemons the other day. Usually I wouldn’t, as so many of our friends and family have them growing in the backyard. But this was an emergency, there was no chance of seeing any of those folks, and I had desserts to make. Turns out a bag of small, ripe lemons didn’t…

Lemon Curd Butterfly Cakes

I do love citrus season! Ever since seeing Claire’s Lemon Surprise cupcakes, I’ve been salivating at the thought of making my own. But it couldn’t be a regular cupcake or butter cake recipe – that would require the electric mixer – and because I’m baking at night (sshhh… the baby’s sleeping…) this one’s another melt-and-mix.…

Fabulously Sunken Lemon Drizzle Cake

June 8, 2013

It’s not perfect. But it is perfectly edible. When I told hubby I wouldn’t be blogging this one, he protested, “But it’s a great cake”… “But it’s sunk” I replied. He argued that I should blog a real story, even a flop for once, regardless of how pretty or perfect it might be. So here…

Lemon Glazed Cheesecake

March 3, 2013

Wow, wow, wow! This is definitely my new favourite dessert! Being a lady of leisure while I wait for baby to arrive, I met a friend for coffee the other day and decided to indulge. Bad idea! The dessert I chose, though it looked like a baked lemon cheesecake, was decidedly on the bland side.…

Raspberry Almond Muffins

September 4, 2012

Sometimes I just can’t keep well enough alone! These muffins are a riff on a classic that works… Raspberry Vanilla Muffins are also good, but somehow they never had enough texture to satisfy me. Call me a purist if you like, but muffins should be kind of healthy, and certainly contain more than one type…

Lemon & Passionfruit Cupcakes

April 6, 2012

Am I the only one who gets annoyed at recipes that do not turn out? Surely, I ask myself, it is necessary to test a recipe several times to ensure its success, before putting it in print? I don’t think that’s an unreasonable assumption. And yet, a recipe from my Baker’s Bible, “Baking – a…
