I have been trying to use up what I have in my freezer, so that I could defrost it. One of them was a sheet of Butter Puff Pastry, that had become quite dry and the edges were cracked. I spread the mixture of Brown Sugar and Cocoa Powder over the sheet, rolled it up, …
A bag of Walnuts had been sitting in my pantry for a long time when my daughter gave me another bag of Walnuts. So, I have been trying to use them. Today, I made this Shortcake using Auntie Betty’s Belgian Shortcake recipes. It was seriously delicious. Cake Tin 20cm Square Cake Tin Ingredients 110g Butter …
Tea Loaf, a quick bread (OR cake) packed with Dried Fruits, can be enjoyed at anytime, but I like to bake it at Christmas time. It is absolutely easy to make. Dried Fruits are steeped in Hot Strong Black Tea. I don’t add Butter, but I recommend to enjoy this sweet loaf with Butter, generously …
I make my Pound Cakes using 125g of each Butter, Sugar, Eggs and Self-Raising Flour. When you add extra dry ingredients such as Cocoa Powder, I reduce the amount of Flour. However, I tend to use large Eggs, and 3 Eggs weigh about 150g. So, I used 150g each Butter, Caster Sugar, Eggs and ‘Self-Raising …

Is this another type of Magic Cake? I was trying to recreate a Lemon Custard Cake that I saw on the internet. I used my own cake batter, but I realised it was too thick for what I was trying to make. And the Custard was too much and it covered the batter completely. I …
I looked for a recipe of Scones that can be made with Almond Meal, but most recipes that I found required some sort of Flour(s) as well. So, I tried to make my own, based on my Scone recipe. Replacing Wheat Flour with Almond Meal didn’t work. I needed to alter the recipe. I ended …
My husband’s auntie Joan gave her Lemon Cake recipe to my daughter many years ago. It is a Lemon Syrup Cake. I was making the cake today, then I realised that I had Oranges as well. I thought the cake would be more delicious if I used both Orange juice and Lemon juice, so I …
This is based on my ‘Choco Chip Cookies’ recipe that I have been using for decades. For Matcha flavoured cookies, I prefer White Chocolate Chips, but you can use Dark Chocolate Chips OR Milk Chocolate Chips.

This cake is very alcoholic and it is only for grownups, who love Rum and Sultanas (OR Raisins). I always have a jar of Steeped Sultanas, that can be used for baking and also added to Ice Cream and other cold desserts. However, the Rum-Steeped Sultanas that I used today were quite old, and extremely …
