Banana and Nutella Cake
I really like the idea of banana and nutella together, the oaty muffin recipe is good, but to me this works better… I have tried it a few times now and was happiest with this little adaptation! You can make a big cake, or bake as individual muffins. I found that the oil makes these stay nice and moist, so they are good hot or cold.
Pear and Chocolate chip cake
This was a but of an experiment, and it was absolutely delicious, probably best served cold, with dark chocolate. if you are a total chocoholic like me you could make a chocolate topping instead, or use a dessert spoon of nutella, marbelling it with yummy chocolate gooeyness!!
Eton Mess
A big family favourite! You can make this look as messy or as fancy as you like. Try our meringue recipe, much better than shop bought – http://www.myingredients.com/recipes/jennys-never-fail-easy-meringues/
It is best to prepare your meringues in advance if you are doing them yourself as they need time to cool.
Jenny’s never fail, easy Meringues!
I had never made meringues until today, my friend Jenny said she had this easy recipe that always works and turns out she was so right! These are lovely, a wee bit chewy in the middle and totally light and lovely on the outside! Enjoy!!
Skinny Chocolate cake – Half the fat, but so rich and indulgent…
As I am a total chocaholic… I have adapted a very rich chocolate cake recipe and tested with low fat spread and half fat Elmlea cream to relieve the guilt, and take the pressure off my jeans! It really is lovely, and it still tastes of total indulgence. Perfect for a special occasion – and you can decorate it as you like. :~) This would also work really well as a tray bake for a birthday, or as individual fairy cakes.
Easy Buttercream icing
This is another great icing for any cake, to top with or to fill with. You can colour ir is as you like, or add any flavour you fancy.
Cream cheese frosting / icing
Great for carrot cakes, and any cake for that matter! Delicious – try not to just eat it with a big spoon like me! 🙂
The best Carrot cake
We made this for our comic relief cake off, it disappeared super fast! 🙂 Delicious, moist and light… what more could you ask for?!
