After looking at things that pair nicely with beetroot to have something different, to my surprise, supposedly chocolate does. I saw a few chocolate and beetroot cakes and thought that I had to try this. I was expecting the chocolate to overpower any beetroot taste, but it does have a subtle flavour in there, which...

I saw a YouTube video where someone made a cake using just Oreos. An Oreo flavoured cake? I was sold at that. But, it's a double win that you only need 3 ingredients to make it. The YouTuber baked the cake on the stove, which looked like I could mess that up too easily, so... Continue Reading →

It's not long now before we can grab a slice and actually find out how it tastes! I just used Morrisons pre-made marzipan and icing as it's vegan, and I wouldn't know the first thing about making them myself! I went with traditional raspberry jam to glue down the marzipan to the cake. I did... Continue Reading →
Now that I've moved out, and with lockdown and all, we're planning on having Christmas at home, just my partner and I. I haven't had Christmas cake since I turned vegan and my experience of making a Christmas cake is helping my mum cream butter and sugar together. So, we'll see how it goes. I... Continue Reading →
A few of our bananas were getting too ripe to eat by themselves, so what better way to use them in than some sweet treats? I used homemade peanut butter for this. It's actually the first batch of peanut butter I've made, and it took an insanely long time compared to the usual walnut butter... Continue Reading →
I've not made a three-layer cake before, so this was an exciting experience. I've also not made gateau before, and I hope cream and berries on cake classifies as gateau? Oh well, if not, you still get to eat something tasty! I thought I'd use some butter to make this cake; just to mix things... Continue Reading →
We had loads of pears growing in our garden and I couldn't decide what to make with them. It's actually the first time in over 20 years this pear tree has produced anything! It's finally grown enough to become a proper pear tree. Pear purée seemed like a good thing to make, and fruit purée... Continue Reading →
We picked loads of blueberries from our garden a few months ago and there's still quite a lot in our freezer so what better way to enjoy them than in blueberry cupcakes? I let the blueberries defrost first before adding them as the frozen clumps are too much effort to break apart. Makes: 12 Preparation time:... Continue Reading →
I remember making a chocolate cake for my birthday last year, and I don't think I've had it since then. So, this was long overdue. I baked my sweet potato because I think it's tastes best cooked this way, but if your chocolate cake cravings are too strong you can always just boil it. You... Continue Reading →
