This Strawberry Picnic Cake one of those bakes that looks super fancy but actually involves barely any effort – if you’re a dab hand with a wooden spoon and can slice a strawb, then you’ve got this.
Sometimes, it’s nice to go back to the basics and bake something easy but satisfying. These Blueberry Muffins are stupidly simple to bake and sure to put a smile on top of a blue week. 🙂
I’m not the biggest fan of salad – there needs to be a little something-something more than just leaves for me to dive into one – but the halloumi and lamb are the stars here, as well as the sweet whiskey drizzle I whipped up to go on top. It’s the perfect companion to the salty halloumi. Very easy to make and a lil’ bit boozy – once you’ve got the base down, you can use it to make any flavour of dressing you like. 🙂
Bananas and Custard is one of those stupidly simple yet completely satisfying desserts, innit? Easy. Awesome. These pancakes are filled with custard, and topped with bananas. If you’ve never filled pancakes before, it’s really easy and once you’ve tried it, there’s any number of ways you could go. 🙂
I usually bake Welshcakes on St David’s Day, but honestly, the ladies at Bakestones in Cardiff Market knock mine right off the board. They’re so good! So this year I decided to make this Welshcake Batter Fudge. It’s not the prettiest looking fudge around (just like Welshcakes aren’t exactly the prettiest cakes), but tastes just like the real deal thanks to the sultanas and a hint of mixed spice. 🙂
