Mixed Berry and White Chocolate Cheesecake Slice

Mixed Berry and White Chocolate Cheesecake Slice by Margaret

My strawberries were at their best when I left for my holiday a few weeks ago and now they are struggling to produce any fruit. Next year I'm definitely not going away during strawberry season and missing one of my favourite fruits.The raspberries are being a bit temperamental this year and the berries aren't anything to get excited…

Cappuccino Cake

Cappuccino Cake by Margaret

I made this cake just before my holiday, it's quick and easy to make using the never fail all-in-one method. It was hastily photographed and my photograph doesn't really do this delicious cake justice....I'm playing catchup now with the blog posts and with a safety net of only a few in draft to fall back on, I may have to resort to…

Raspberry, Almond and Custard Cake Recipe

Raspberry, Almond and Custard Cake Recipe by Margaret

The custard layer for this cake is made from Birds Custard Powder, in this house we love it. Posh custard out of a carton isn't suitable, neither is low fat, out of a can, ready made or a fancy version of home made.........it's just got to be yellow custard powder made with milk and cooked without any lumps!Last time I made this cake…

Little Apple and Almond Cakes Recipe

Little Apple and Almond Cakes Recipe by Margaret

These little cakes remind me in taste and texture of almond macaroons which I ate as a child. They are easy to make and taste delicious.My tins (in the photograph below) have removable bases and were given to me by an elderly lady who had been an avid baker but found she was baking less and less. The tins are old, well used and I…

Cheese and Spring Onion Quiche Recipe

Cheese and Spring Onion Quiche Recipe by Margaret

Do you remember the quiche I made a while back? I've taken the same pastry recipe because it works every time and the same savoury custard filling because it's delicious. This time, however, I've used a combination of spring onions which saves cooking onions, Leicester cheese for colour and because I grew up in Leicestershire and…
