This cake is decadent and celebratory and checks all of the boxes that in my world, make a great cake. Rich, fudgy, chocolatey, and worth the (slightly more than average) effort that it takes. Ground pecans and melted bittersweet chocolate give this cake it’s dense but soft consistency. A dark chocolate ganache with chopped toasted…

Everyday Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m going to confidently say these are the best, the only chocolate chip cookies I ever want to eat. I call these ‘everyday’ cookies because you really can make them every single day. The dough is simple, quick and I’ve now turned it into a one-bowl recipe, yaaaaaay. It doesn’t need to be chilled for…
Chocolate Chip Crumb Cake
Soft chocolate cake, gooey chocolate filling, chocolate crumbs on top, chocolate chips in each layer. This cake is the one to satisfy any and every chocolate craving! It tastes even better the next day, travels well and if you warm up a piece just enough to make those chocolate chips perfectly melty, well, you’re doing…
Orange Olive Oil Cake

Having always wanted to explore the beautiful Christmas Markets all over Europe, I went with high expectations and they were beyond exceeded. After being forced to cancel this trip…
Red Wine Hot Chocolate
Very little beats a thick, dark hot chocolate on a chilly day, except adding a bit of red wine to it! Not just as an afterthought, but cooked along with the chocolate so the flavour mellows but adds something special to the end result, not super wine-y, but complex and grown up. Can you skip…
Flourless Chocolate Orange Cake
Not only is this flourless chocolate cake the fudgy-est, gooey-est cake you’ll ever eat, it’s incredibly easy to make, which means the faster you get to eat it! With the addition of fresh orange zest, the intense chocolatey flavour is balanced and made even more delicious. Let’s bake!
Five Christmassy recipes!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and also the baking-est time of the year! From cakes to cookies, pies to crumbles, winter baking is always my favourite. I thought I’d put together a list of five lovely Christmassy desserts I’ve made over the years and if you’re looking for ideas, I hope these…
