Peach, Ginger and Strawberry Crumble Cake {GF, vegan}

January 25, 2025

I am not even sure how this cake came to be. How’s that for an opening line? Hubby spent the weekend away indulging his passion for fighter jets, and we went camping with friends. Just for one night. About 5 minutes from home. Totally awesome! Whoever came up with the idea to camp 5 minutes…

Coconut, Cardamom & Orange Syrup Cake {GF, vegan}

July 17, 2023

This is a cake I’ve been wanting to make ever since I first made my very easy gluten-free Lime and Coconut Cake. Sure, I get it. Why mess with perfection? Reason: I know that most coconut cakes tend to dry out very quickly, and I wanted one that didn’t. But life got in the way.…

Easy Eggless Banana Bread

May 7, 2020

My goal was a simple one; make a gluten-free vegan banana bread that was straightforward, easy, something that my 7-year old would eat, and that looked and tasted like the banana bread I see in every local café. Easy, right?! I had played around with eggless recipes for years, and never found something that I…

Double Chocolate Banana Cake {vegan, GF}

September 13, 2019

I decided to wing it with this one. After all, making cakes week in and week out gives one a fair idea of how to do it right… right?! Based loosely on my own adaptation of Tracy Benjamin’s Hippy Banana Bread, and loosely on my own ideas of how to make a vegan chocolate cake,…

Lemon Poppy seed Almond Cake {vegan, gf}

April 4, 2019

Vegan Cake Nirvana. I’ve reached it. I seriously thought my quest for the perfect citrus poppy seed cake was to be a never ending one. The key to success was so elusive, it was driving me mad. I caved at various points along the way, sharing a recipe that was ‘almost’ the one… There are…

Lemon Lamington Layer Cake {vegan, GF}

January 24, 2019

This all came about because I was trying to think of desserts that would be suitable for my father-in-law’s birthday party. His birthday is the same date as a rather controversial public holiday. Traditionally, if one is meeting with friends and family for a meal on January 26th, you would serve lamingtons or pavlova for…

Bittersweet Jaffa Almond Cake {vegan, GF}

January 12, 2019

This is my magical unicorn cake, my pie-in-the-sky, my nemesis; the cake that was destined never to work. I lost count how many iterations were tried, tested and failed… how many tins of beans were used in the quest for a vegan chocolate almond torte. And yet here we are, with the recipe for a…

How are your gardening skills? I tend to have a black thumb, but I do like a bit of pruning, so when a friend asked me to help prune her very tall, very laden lemon tree I jumped at the chance. I took over our pruning saw, got out the ladder and proceeded to do…

Black Bottom Cupcakes {vegan, gf}

June 17, 2017

Brrr! I don’t recall being this cold in a long time! Winter is finally here, though it’s sunny still. I love how where we live, the seasons start slowly. Often it will be a full month into summer, autumn, winter or spring before the weather really sets in. What that means for today, is that…

Chocolate & Raspberry Almond Cake {gf/df}

March 30, 2017

If the moniker were not already taken, I would totally rename this blog, ‘The Lazy Baker/Cook’. Because that is what I am. If I can’t whip it up within a matter of minutes, it doesn’t make the cut. Perhaps when I was younger I was attracted to highly intricate recipes, but not now. In a…

Flourless Pear & Chocolate Cake {gf/df}

March 23, 2016

Sunday afternoons are for baking, am I right? At least it’s been that way for me since primary school. In boarding school, all children under the age of 11 had to take a nap on Sunday afternoon. There were only a handful of us older than that, and we stayed up. Oh, what mischief we…
