This Black Sesame Cake is wonderfully moist and nutty, with a unique balance of sweet and salty. The cake is topped with a creamy black sesame frosting for ultimate nutty flavor. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Sesame Tahini Cookies
Sesame Tahini Cookies are chewy and delicious, using tahini instead of butter for a rich, nutty flavour. The sesame flavour is further amped up with toasted sesame seeds.
If you’ve tried my Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies, then you’re going to love these Sesame Tahini Cookies. Tahini adds a wonderfully creamy, nutty flavour to the cookies, which balances well with the date syrup.
Hazelnut Cherry Brownies
These Hazelnut Cherry Brownies have it all: they’re super fudgy, ultra decadent and are filled with crunchy hazelnuts and sour cherries. Brownies are one of my favourite treats, when they’re done right. And by ‘right’ I mean they’re chewy, fudgy, with an intense chocolate flavour. Some people prefer cakey brownies, but they’re definitely not my…
Mini Raspberry Cakes
These Mini Raspberry Cakes make a wonderful dessert, as everyone gets their own individual cake. With the pretty pink cream, they are perfect for Valentine’s Day, or for anyone who loves raspberries.
Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
If you’re a chocoholic like me, you need to make this Chocolate Olive Oil Cake! It’s rich, luscious and oh-so-decadent. Basically everything you could want in a chocolate cake! The chocolate flavour is intensified with a silky chocolate glaze, and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt.
Ultimate Cheesecake Brownies
These Ultimate Cheesecake Brownies combine the richest fudgy brownie with a decadent layer of cream cheese. Not only do they make an eye-catching dessert, but they are easy to make.
I am not exaggerating when I say these are the ‘Ultimate’ cheesecake brownies. The brownie layer is thick and chewy and so rich in chocolate flavour. Dark chocolate and cocoa powder are mixed with a touch of espresso powder to heighten the chocolate flavour. If you’re not a coffee fan, don’t worry: you won’t taste the coffee in the finished brownie. The brownie is then topped with a layer of creamy cheesecake, for the most indulgent dessert.
Coconut Cake with Raspberry Glaze
With the perfect balance between sweet and tart, this Coconut Cake with Raspberry Glaze takes tea-time to another level.
I enjoy the flavour of coconut in just about anything; be it cakes, cookies, bread or in savory dishes like curries and seafood. This cake came about because I had recently bought some freeze-dried raspberry powder (it was actually on sale!) and I knew I wanted to use it to make a glaze. So I started thinking about flavours that pair well with raspberry, and coconut topped the list. A taste of the tropics paired with a taste of summer berries. What could be better?!
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.
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.
