Cake recipes

Some of my favourite cake recipes.

Chocolate cupcakes with caramelised white chocolate icing Moist, chocolatey cupcakes with a butterscotch-like icing made from caramelised white chocolate – my new favourite ingredient.

Chocolate macaroons My chocolate macaroon recipe with lots of tips and tricks for perfect macaroons.

Banana, coconut and pecan friands Dense, nutty cakes – crisp on the outside and soft in the middle.

Blackberry cupcakes Adding blackberries to the icing makes these cupcakes less sweet than usual, but just as pretty.

Blueberry streusel cake A grown-up cake: flavoured with maple syrup, rosemary, thyme and lots of blueberries.

White chocolate and hazelnut cake A delicious hazelnut sponge cake, covered in white chocolate buttercream.

Wedding cakes I’ve been busy making wedding cakes this year and wanted to share what I’ve learnt along the way.

White Russian cupcakes Cupcakes doused in Kahlua and topped with a boozy icing.

Carrot Cake This is the easiest, tastiest carrot cake recipe ever. Based on an American recipe, it uses sunflower oil instead of butter which gives it that dense and moist carrot cake character.

Easy peasy chocolate cake This is the easiest recipe for chocolate cake and it leaves you with a fudgy, dense moist cake. Smothered in a simple chocolate ganache, this makes the perfect birthday cake, or just a Monday afternoon cake.
