Super easy to make, intensely chocolatey and irresistibly good, these coconut macaroons are fudgy, chewy and great for some weekday baking. I recently revisited this recipe, made some tweaks, updated the photos and they’re better than ever. Enjoy them as a dessert or indulgent snack and I personally recommend eating them cold from the fridge!

Eggless Triple Chocolate Layer Cake
So pleased with this cake!! It’s so soft and light, made without eggs and absolutely packed with chocolate flavour. Plenty of cocoa, melty chocolate chips and a dark chocolate ganache gives this a triple dose that satisfies all cravings. The ganache is whipped up to make it a decadent, mousse like frosting and you should…
Mango Coconut Sponge Cake
Mango season is basically the best season! And fresh mango is a game changer in classic sponges layered with whipped cream. This one also has coconut for a lovely tropical flavour combination and a little more texture in the cake itself. It’s the perfect summery dessert and doesn’t need hours of work either. Let’s make…
Banana Roll Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
There is no shortage of banana cake and banana bread on this blog, but apparently I’m not done yet. Lightly spiced with cinnamon, this roll cake version starts with a light and airy batter to which you add mashed banana. The springy cake is filled with a cream cheese frosting and rolled up to give…
Date and Nut Energy Bites
This recipe started off as a way to finish some random quantities of oats, almonds and nut butter I had lying around. I had only the vaguest idea of amounts and exact ingredients, but I took notes along the way and ended up with a delicious, super quick snack/dessert, packed with a lot of good…

This banana bread is absolutely addictive but if you can, don’t eat it all on day one, it gets better the next day! A double chocolate version of this reader-favourite eggless banana bread, this one has cocoa and plenty of chocolate chunks to satisfy all cravings. It’s moist and flavourful thanks to the olive oil…
Roasted Zucchini Pesto Lasagna
The last savoury recipe I posted (these incredible onion cheddar rolls) was almost a year ago and each time I do share one here, I wonder why I don’t do it more and vow not to let cake distract me so easily. Well. We’re here now! And this lasagna is just so good, it’ll make…
Strawberry Tres Leches Cake
Back with another flavour variation of tres leches cake! A classic Latin American dessert, this is a soft sponge cake soaked in three milks (‘tres leches’) to create a moist, light and very refreshing dessert. This strawberry version is a great way to celebrate the season. It’s fruity and bright and tastes better the longer…
Chocolate Vanilla Heart Surprise Cake
Once again, I caved to the heart-shaped tug of Valentine’s Day and decided to do a chocolate version of this pink heart surprise cake from many years ago. I’m still not very sure what this kind of cake is actually called, but Google some combination ‘hidden’, ‘surprise’, ‘heart’, ‘inside’, and you’ll find it! It’s very…
