    Rhubarb can be used for many desserts, but I believe this is the easiest way to use it. Just add thinly sliced Rhubarb to Cupcakes. I used my ‘Basic Plain Cupcakes’ recipe but I increased the amount of Sugar as Rhubarb is quite sour. You don’t need to precook Rhubarb. Crunchy crumble topping is optional. …

    This is Dairy-free version of my ‘Whatever Fruit You Have’ Cake. I used Sunflower Oil instead of Butter.

    Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding is a very popular dessert in Australia. This is an old classic recipe I wrote down in my recipe book decades ago. It requires a scary amount of Sugar. You can reduce the amount slightly. I have once halved the amount, but the pudding was not very tasty. You need a reasonable …
