Tea Loaf & Fresh Walnuts
November 7, 2010
Our friends at the Heage Firs Farm, just up the road, have a beautiful walnut tree in their garden. If it wasn’t raining quite so hard and I hadn’t got Market kitchen heading over later today to film me making cake I would go photograph the tree plus the carpet of walnuts lying beneath it. […]
Making Whoopie
September 30, 2010
So far I have managed to resist the urge to make Whoopie Pies. Partly, because they are a bit fashionable but also because a lot of the recipes didn’t make sense to me. Then I saw Mowie’s recipe for red velvet Whoopies with orange buttercream. Here are the factors that led to me making them: I’ve […]
Brown Sugar and Yoghurt Cake
September 13, 2010
This Brown Sugar Cake is reminiscent of a brownie, yet it’s not chocolatey. George thinks it’s the best cake ever! He IS my biggest fan. The main flavour comes from the 3 types of sugar: Demerara, granulated and muscovado. Plus some depth from vanilla extract and lemon zest. Then a couple of eggs, followed by flour and […]
Pear Cake
July 24, 2010
It’s been a while since I wrote about cake. Having overdosed on cake related items a while ago I have been laying off the baking a little and concentrating on garden produce. It hasn’t helped our waistlines as much as I’d hoped, but it’s the thought that counts. This recipe is based on the River […]
Cinnamon Buns
June 8, 2010
Check out the bun show It all started with the Kringel that we made for a fresh from the oven challenge. We liked it very much but there was a suggestion that it would be nice with just a bit of icing, …so it was like a big Belgian Bun. This had a couple of […]
Cake Pops
April 2, 2010
I defy anyone to see a picture of a cake pop and not be a bit intrigued. What’s in them? How do you make them? Can I have one? I had seen these on FoodGawker and was itching to have a go. The School Spring Fair seemed like a good enough reason. Surely small children at a […]
Last Minuten Stollen
December 28, 2009
This month’s “Fresh From The Oven” challenge was to make a Stollen. Now I have to admit to reservations about this one. Not least that I don’t like marzipan, but I also knew things would be quite hectic on the run up to Christmas and that I would not have chance to get it done. […]
Let them eat cake
December 9, 2009
I promise that this will be my last cake blogpost…at least until after Christmas! I don’t mean to do it. It just happens. There’s a birthday or something and cake is the answer. Let’s face it cake is the answer to lots of things really. George’s cousin Pascal turned 1 last month so here is […]
Cupcakes again!
September 27, 2009
We have had another busy Weekend of enjoyable tasks. I’ve been baking cakes and Ed has been building a deck, whilst George has been playing with friends and helping out whenever he fancies, so everyone is happy. Our Friends Katie and Adam have 2 lovely little twin girls Evie and Nell, and a boy called […]
Frosted Cup Cakes
August 27, 2009
Here are some tangy orange and lemon cupcakes. The frosted topping has Philadelphia Cream Cheese with a syrup of super reduced orange and lemon juice whisked in. I love it when a recipe works out at just the right quantity to fill a dozen good deep muffin cases. Ernie, our Border Terrier is always very interested when I […]
Claire’s Marmalade Tea Loaf
May 29, 2009
This is my version of a ‘Derbyshire Tea Loaf’ as featured in the Fabulous Places Blog. Make a pot of tea for you and your cake. Drink a cup yourself and pour another cup of hot black tea over: 5oz sultanas (I don’t like candied peel or raisins but use mixed dried fruit if you […]
