Classic Tiramisu
f you’re looking for an authentic Tiramisu recipe that’s better than the one at your favourite Italian restaurant, this is it! And the best thing is it only takes 30 minutes to prepare, and it can be made in advance.
I love this recipe because it has a true zabaglione, which means the egg yolks and sugar are cooked over a pot of simmering water until a custard-like mixture is achieved. No raw yolks here, like some other recipes!
Mini Peach Upside Down Cakes
These Mini Peach Upside Down Cakes light and fluffy and are filled with pieces of fresh peaches. Each little cake is topped with peach slices for an elegant, yet easy dessert.
If you’re looking for a simple dessert to use up the last of your Summer peaches, this is it! I’ve made upside down peach cakes in the past, and I thought to myself, why not make mini ones using a muffin pan?! It worked like a treat (as long as your muffin pan is greased really well!) and the little cakes go so well with a scoop or two of your favourite ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
Plum Cake with Toffee Sauce
Now it’s July, plum season is in full-swing, and this Plum Cake with Toffee Sauce is a delightful way to enjoy this stone fruit. There are several components to this cake which make it so fabulous. The cake itself is spiced with cinnamon, with the juicy plums adding a delicious sweet-but-tart complexity to an otherwise…
Simply Strawberry Cake
An easy cake, where the strawberries shine. This Simply Strawberry Cake contains one pound of fresh strawberries and once you make it, you’ll see why it’s one of my favourite cakes.
If you’re in need of an impressive dessert at your next dinner party, may I suggest this cake?! The strawberries are hulled, halved, and then arranged in a layer on top of the batter. Once it’s done baking, some of the berries will inevitably sink into the cake itself, but a decent number still sit on top, making for one beauty of a cake. Your guests will love you even more for this cake.
Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies
Perfect for whenever that chocolate craving strikes, these Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies will hit the spot every time!
One of the things I love most about this recipe, is that there is no chilling time. How many times have you wanted a freshly baked batch of cookies, only to realise when you read the recipe that it will be several hours before you can enjoy your cookies?! Well now you can have these irresistible double chocolate cookies baked fresh from the oven and into your tummy within the hour. Or within half an hour, if you’re like me and can’t wait for them to cool.
Blueberry Lemon Cake
If you like your cake loaded with fresh berries, you’re going to love this Blueberry Lemon Cake! The blueberries literally burst in your mouth with each bite, which is a glorious feeling. I’m relishing everything that has to do with Spring at the moment, and that includes eating slice after slice of this Blueberry Lemon…
Raw Caramel Slice
If I know one thing, that is surely sweet treats. And you and your family are going to go crazy for this raw caramel slice.
I have had quite the love affair with the caramel slice over the years. I know exactly what constitutes a great one, and unfortunately a lot of them don’t make the cut: Too sickly. Gritty caramel. Not using quality chocolate. The list goes on.
The caramel slice I grew up with was typically made with condensed milk, which would bake in the oven (or still in the can, on the stovetop) until a rich, golden caramel was achieved. It was then poured on top of a coconut shortbread base. Once the caramel was set, melted dark chocolate was poured over the top. True decadence. But sadly, if you’re eating healthy and try to steer clear of sweet treats, it’s not an option for many people. A life without caramel slice?! How depressing. But fret no more! If you want a healthy version of this classic treat, then you have to make this.
Cinnamon Swirl Chocolate Chip Quick Bread
This Cinnamon Swirl Chocolate Chip Quick Bread makes for a delicious snack any time of the day. And let’s be honest; who doesn’t love cinnamon and chocolate together? This quick bread has it all: it’s soft, tender, moist and has an irresistible ripple of cinnamon, and lots of chocolate chips. We’ve been having some very…
Blueberry Coconut Baked Oatmeal
If you’re in need of switching up your breakfast game, give this Blueberry Coconut Baked Oatmeal a go! It’s special while not being fussy, and can be mostly prepared the day before if desired.
I’ve always loved having oats in some form for my breakfast, whether they’re in porridge, granola or overnight oats. But baked oatmeal is a game changer! Packed with nuts, chia seeds and fruit, this breakfast will keep you going and give you lots of energy to go about your day.
I must admit, my first experience with baked oatmeal several years ago was not a good one! I found a recipe for strawberry rhubarb baked oatmeal and followed it exactly as written. Unfortunately, instead of the outside being delightfully toasted with a soft center, my baked oatmeal turned out to be a sloppy mess. There was way too much liquid and juice from the fruit, and I didn’t touch another baked oatmeal recipe for a long time after that! Fortunately, I decided to give it another go and got the consistency right.
