Scottish Shortbread by Marlin RinehartThis is the most famous cookie of Scotland. It’s a must to use pure butter. Traditionally, shortbread contains no other flavor.

Vanilla Custard Sauce (British) by Marlin RinehartThis sauce is served over steamed puddings, fruit crisps (crumbles), and any dessert that would be enhanced by a creamy vanilla sauce.

Butter and Flour Free Chocolate Cake by Hungry JennyThis contains chickpeas which might sound strange but actually works really well! It doesn't taste particularly 'chickpea'-like and is still incredibly moist despite having no butter. You can easily make this completely gluten-free by using gluten-free baking powder too. This was made in an 8" square tin. |

So when someone enters the room with say a home made Black Forest Cake, we get a chocolate buzz just looking at it! Black Forest cake is the English names for the German dessert Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte… |

Carrot cake by DominikaCarrot cake is quite a "heavy" dessert and it sounds much healthier than it really is. The high content of oil, sugar, full fat cheese and walnuts are miles away from the low fat diet. That is why I don't bake it very often. The battle starts as soon as I put this yummy cake on the table and in 10 minutes crumbs are the only… |
