Mini Lemon Drizzle Pound Cakes

March 20, 2017 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with We Bake, the community that rewards you for baking.  When I was a little girl growing up in rural Canada we had a small village shop that sold just about anything you could ever need. There was a meat counter where you watch them cut thick slices of bologna for your dinner …

Spiced Apple Cake

Spiced Apple Cake

November 6, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

I dreamt about apple cake last night. True story. This is likely because I had set aside today, Sunday, to deal with the contents of my refrigerator. This included three beautiful Bramley apples I’d requested my teenage son buy for me the other day for a commissioned recipe, and then decided not to use. It’s …

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Swirl Halloween Spider Cake

Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Halloween Cake

October 12, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

Three layers of peanut butter and chocolate flavoured cake swirled together sandwiched with peanut butter frosting and topped with a milk chocolate ganache and a giant Halloween spider. A recipe in collaboration with SKIPPY® Peanut Butter. I confess that when it comes to Halloween I really am still a child at heart. I grew up …

Pineapple Upsidedown Cake with Vanilla Custard

Pineapple Upside Down Cake & Vanilla Custard

September 13, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with Redmond Multicookers. Nothing beats a bowl of hot creamy custard on a cold Autumn’s day when the chill is in the air and you can smell the winter coming. Except, perhaps, if it’s hot creamy custard that you’ve made yourself, and it’s served over a slice of still-warm pineapple upside down cake! …

Pistachio & Coconut Cake with Rose Syrup

Pistachio & Coconut Cake with Rose Syrup

September 9, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

Creative cake-baking just for the fun of it on a dark, dreary, rainy Autumn day. I made a cake! I made a cake and I’m really rather chuffed at how well it turned out. You see, I’m currently going through an ’empty the store-cupboards’ phase in preparation for stocking up for winter. The fact is …

Lavender and Lemon Bundt Cake

Lavender & Lemon Bundt Cake + Bake Box Review & Giveaway RRP £80

April 10, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with Bake Box. Silicone baking moulds have to be one of the best inventions to hit the baking world, ever. Yet they scare me. Especially elaborate silicone bundt moulds with all sorts of little nooks and crannies for cake to get stuck into, entirely ruining the look of a bake. I confess that …

Hungarian Plum Cake Recipe with Almonds

Hungarian Plum Cake Recipe

October 7, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

This quick and easy Hungarian plum cake is a great way to showcase fresh, seasonal plums. It’s very nutty and delicious, perfect with an afternoon cuppa. Post updated 16 August 2018. “Mum, why it so windy?” It’s that time of year again. The gales have returned causing ferry transport disruptions. It’s getting dark early and …

Summer Fruits Cake

A Summer Fruits Picnic Cake

August 25, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Sun, sea, sand and a summer fruits loaded picnic cake! It’s really not been much of a summer to speak of, here in Shetland. Saying that, I don’t think the UK mainland has been particularly blessed with an abundance of rays this season either. We’ve had a couple of good weekends – see our camping …

Cherry & Almond Crumble Cake Squares

August 19, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

Think bakewell tart, but better. Rainy days mean baking days, no? Our car has been sitting in the car park at our local garage waiting to be looked at for over a week now – the little circle on the dashboard with the exclamation point is staying illuminated while driving and the last time I …
