Black Bottom Marble Cake

June 18, 2013

I love how pretty this is. Certainly a far cry from the original! I also love how budget-friendly it is… only a handful of choc chips needed, and one egg in the filling. Like its cousin the Wacky Cake, this cake can credit its texture from the combination of vinegar, oil and baking soda. And…

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…

Espresso Chocolate Cake

November 11, 2012

It was supposed to be the perfect excuse to bake – hubby was due to host a ‘Guys’ Night’ at our house, and a bunch of fellas were coming around who would need some grub – so I used an otherwise boring day to rustle up this cake. Alas, the guys were too busy chatting…

Strawberry Banana Bread

November 7, 2012

I think this is my new favourite cake (okay, so it’s called ‘bread’ but that’s because it originated in the USA)! And it’s good for you! Filled with fruit and whole wheat flour, this cake is on my list of new healthy snacks. You may ask why I would want to spoil fresh strawberries by…

Apricot and Carrot Loaf

August 8, 2012

We moved house last weekend, and since then it’s been busy, busy, busy, with no chance for a relaxing bake-up… so after beginning my weekend with a 6.5 hour hike, I resolved that this day, Sunday, was to be my Sabbath (for real)… a day when I could do “nothing” (which really means “whatever I…

Orange Poppy Seed Cake

June 15, 2012

It’s winter and the sun is out; we have bags of oranges, lemons and mandarins given to us by family members (both sides) and it’s a long weekend (thanks, Queen Elizabeth II)! Time to make me some cake. And with all this citrus I figured an orange cake was on the cards. I had made…

Raspberry and Cardamom Cake with Honey Syrup

June 3, 2012

The first time I made this cake, it didn’t rate. There were no marks of affirmation (i.e. ticks) on my cookbook’s page next to this recipe. But it was a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon and I was in sore need of some relaxation time. This cake requires very few special ingredients, so it was…

Dutch Ginger Cake

May 5, 2012

Ginger is my father’s favourite flavour; especially when it comes to cake and chocolate. With that in mind I found this recipe years ago in my old Women’s Weekly cookbook: Best Recipes from the Weekly and have made it often since. It uses only six ingredients, and there is no beating required. It looks good,…

Yoghurt Cake with Syrup

February 25, 2012

I own a lot of cookbooks. So, I’m not really looking to add to the collection. The exception to this was when I was gifted a wonderful cookbook by my housemate two years ago. Titled, “Baking: a commonsense guide”, it is a wonderful assortment of recipes and advice on how to get those recipes right. There…

Maple Huckleberry Coffee Cake

February 11, 2012

It’s no secret; I am a big fan of baking cakes and desserts. It’s my first choice of activity when I have a few spare hours. In that pursuit, therefore, I have collected a number of websites in my ‘favourites’ list, which I visit regularly, to read their stories and collect their recipes. This week…

Apricot Chocolate Chip Cake

June 24, 2010

The other day when I was feeling particularly morose, I sent a message to my boyfriend, saying, among other things, “Hopefully the cake I made is yummy, or I may have to find a cliff and jump off it.” To which he replied, “I’d hate to lose you, but am not too worried – your…
