Because sometimes you simply just need a slice of cake...In my experience on those kind of days Madeira type of cake is the best - quick and easy to make and so many flavour possibilities. Yes, you can keep it nice and simple by just adding few drops o...

It's quite tricky to make a chocolate cake without eggs, a chocolate birthday cake which was a request from my 5 year old, who happens to have an egg intolerance. It's no an impossible task, but I really wanted to make something without bananas, as tha...

My own banana bread, and what I mean by that is, that it's my own tried and tested recipe. I'm on a look out for a good banana recipes since I can remember. It's way to often that we're left with very ripe, brown bananas that are in need of some love a...

I'm here and I'm alive! It's the middle of the summer season here in Ireland (yes, even though it definitely doesn't feel like summer, with all that wind and rain...). Summer season means holidays, which means lots of visitors to this Green Isle, and K...

We had a little celebration recently - my little girl turned 4 :) and when your little girl asks you for a chocolate sparkly cake with sprinkles - you deliver!Sparkly sprinkles were the easiest part, as I always have a lot of different sprinkles at hom...

If you've run out of time to bake your Christmas cake, or simply not feel like baking it at all, and the sheer thought of baking mince pies gives you shivers - those mincemeat loaves are perfect alternative to both! You have kind of a Christmas cake an...

It's one of those sweet treats, one of those desserts, that are known all over the world, what's more - they're beloved and enjoyed, by those big and small, everywhere. We're tried to make them before, but it was rather unsuccessful attempt... This rec...

I've "discovered" Christmas cake only after moving to Ireland those many years ago. In Poland you would find a lot of different cakes baked for Christmas, but none could be called "the ultimate Polish Christmas cake", as it will hugely depend on the re...

And it's here. My favorite time of the year - Autumn. It's here in full swing - in Ireland it means rain, cold, strong winds, rain, short days, rain, grass changing its color from bright green to dull, brownish, rain, beautiful leaves (before they're a...

It's middle of September so... for me "pumpkin season" has started! :) I know that I'm not alone waiting in anticipation for those first days of Autumn to finally dig into that can of pureed pumpkin, to bake those gorgeous cakes and cookies, to fill in...

I love a nice crumble. They're easy to put together, you can use almost any fruit and you can be quite adventurous with the crumble topping. This recipe was taken (although slightly changed) from Paul Hollywood's "Pies Puds" cookbook. Unfortunate...

It's summer. And what comes with it is an abundance of fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables. No, I'm NOT complaining! What's more - I'm always waiting for this season with anticipation. I like trying making new things, dishes with fruit that we're all f...

There are a lot of them on the web. And I do mean a lot! But I don't mind - as each and every one seems to be prettier than the last one I saw. Called either galette or crostata (first French, the second one has it's origins from Italy). I really like ...

Few days ago there was a big celebration at my hones. My older Baby Girl's birthday. She's 5 years old now "Mummy, I'm a big girl now!". Yes, she is ;) As she was becoming a big girl I decided to ask her what kind of cake she wants for her birthday, ra...

The amount of times I have actually tried and make a good banana loaf. One that isn't too moist, doesn't look like under-baked and it's not too "heavy". I have tried to achieve the "perfect banana loaf" at least 5 times by now - each and every time I f...

I'm a sucker for a good cake. I like cakes with different textures - soft, but something crunchy or creamy in them at the same time. This cake ticks all the boxes! It's soft, but has crunchy streusel topping and... crunchy surprise inside ;) It's a com...
