Date and Walnut Cake

Date and walnut cake

This cake was one of the first cakes I made when I got into baking and since then it has become a family favourite! 

I once made it for school and my friends really enjoyed it, one of them has been begging me for the recipe, but now that we both live in different countries I havn't been able to make it for her and she's been craving for this mouth watering cake. So this post is mainly for my dearest friend so that she does not have to wait to come to England to have this cake, she can now make it herself and have it in her own home.

The cake itself is very moist due to the addition of dates and walnuts, which add that little bit of sweetness and texture. If you love dates then this is the cake for you! Don't worry if you are not a big fan of walnuts, I'm not either. However I do suggest to add a tiny amount of walnuts as it does liven up the cake.

Now I am not a big fan of profiteroles or eclairs, but when my niece and I were watching Bake with Anna Olsen I couldn't resist myself to make some. I was quite shocked at how easy they were to make and what surprised me even more was the taste! I absolutely loved them.

Pretty Cupcakes with Raspberry Frosting

Due to my exams I took a break from work, but now that they have all finished I'm back to enjoying my job. For my first day back at work I wanted to give my colleagues something special, what's more special than making something with my own hands? So I thought of the best edible gift...Cupcakes!

In my home we love tea time. It's usually a couple of hours after lunch, around at 4:30pm and the whole family sits down in the living room enjoying a nice hot cup of tea or coffee with delicious biscuits.

Mocha Fudge with Salted Caramel

I love mocha and I love salted caramel, the two work very well together, but whats even better is a rich chocolatey mocha fudge with a slight drizzle of salted caramel. Seriously this is so good and super easy to make.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups

 
Chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter all in a cupcake case. Honestly these are amazing.

Soft chewy cookie cups with a hidden peanut butter surprise. Anyone would love them. I'm not a huge peanut butter on toast fan, but I do love Reese's peanut butter cups and these are just like them. However these are better as they have that tender chocolate chip cookie surrounding the peanut butter filling.

Cinnamon French Toast with Bananas and Chocolate Sauce

My niece is staying for a few days and one thing she always asks for is french toast. She fell in love with it the first time I made it for her which was cinnamon french toast with strawberries, very simple but she loved it! I can't blame her, who does not like french toast for breakfast?
