Really is the best cake marbré (marble cake) ever! 😋 moist, delish and super popular with everyone - couldn't stop eating it! 😄 The soaking syrup makes the difference. Followed chef Francois Perret recipe in French at Gateau et Cuisine Rachida website (great video). It's also in English on Wheel of Baking website. Make this cake and go to heaven... 😉👍Have a lovely weekend! 🌞🙋‍♀️💕
Purple Dawn - blueberry, lime, custard cookie cheesecake. 💜☀️ Really delish, optionally glutenfree, refined sugarfree and nobake 😊 Can bake the gf honeybun custard cookies for it. Cheesecake recipe up on the blog - link in bio then look for purple. 😁💜 Have a lovely end of the week and start to September! 🙋‍♀️☀️😊💕
Simple French buttery shortbreads - sablés Nantais. Also good way to use up egg yolks 😊🥚Recipe from huuuge step by step Patisserie book by Philippe Urraca.
Strawberry and champagne celebration Charlotte cake 😊🎊🍓🥂🍾🎉 No bake, easy, delish and a bit healthier (no sugar syrup, lots of fruit). Pink biscuits de Reims (from 17th century!!) dipped in Cava brut nature - low sugar Catalan champagne. You can taste the Cava 😋 Recipe on blog recently, link in bio then search for strawberry Charlotte. Have a good week! 😊☀️🍓🙋‍♀️💕
Blackcurrant curd recipe ... yum yum 😄😋 Easy, optionally vegan. Quite healthy, with pure maple syrup. It's quite powerfully tangy so great to balance out a sponge.
Like a school dinner cake, but better 🤣👍Homemade blackcurrant curd spread on moist buttermilk sponge (both rescued from my freezer). Dessicated coconut and flakes. Simple. Delish. Love.😋💜 Yay for one-layer cakes?! 😄🎉🎊Have a nice hot end of the week! ☀️🙋‍♀️😎

Lovely stuff you guys made from the blog!

Raspberry charlotte
A fabulous Raspberry charlotte by Kate! Loads of raspberries and great sponge finger casing! The assembly part was actually really easy! and ‘it tasted amazing’ she says, adding it ‘will definitely become a regular pudding in our household!’
A scrumptious orange and rum fruitcake-cake Anglais
Scrumptious orange & rum fruitcake-cake Anglais by Stéphanie in Tahiti ‘This cake is just delicious :) I brought one in the office today and it just vanished in a few minutes! Every one loved it :)’ she reports. Lovely local rum, vanilla, honey!
Apple tarte tatin with Chinese five spices and Tamarind with maple syrup caramel
A fantastic slice of Apple tarte tatin with Chinese 5 spices and Tamarind by Claudette, aka mum! :) It was very nice and using maple syrup is ‘genius’ she reports. The Pink Lady apples used were ‘lovely, juicy and firm’ and cooked on the ring a little over 10 mins. Plus the pastry browned quite quickly so was covered with foil towards the end.
Cake Anglais-fruitcake
A beautiful orange and rum fruitcake-cake Anglais fruitcake made by Dookes! Looks moist and delicious! Dookes’ comments: ‘seriously good!’ and ‘fantastico’!! You can find the guest post recipe at http://wp.me/p2sQo3-US And Dookes’ cake report is at https://hogriderdookes.wordpress.com/2015/03/18/lilis-biker-cake-made-and-tasted/ on his Hogrider Dookes blog.
Beautiful seed and nut loaf made by Claudette
A delicious seed and nut loaf made by Claudette in London. She reports ‘cannot stop eating it … it is really delicious’ And she used more pumpkin than sunflower seeds and a little chestnut flour too.
Le Gâteau Moka
A stunning Gâteau Moka by Kate in Cornwall. The piping is wonderful and she was very pleased with it. She also mentions the cake was delish! :)
Yummy wholemeal spelt croissants made by Dookes. They look very well-shaped and nicely risen too! Dookes says: for a first attempt I have to say I’m pretty pleased. They certainly pass the taste test and have the seal of approval from Kate!’

Brioche rolls
Lovely brioche rolls made by Annette in New Zealand! ‘They turned out really well thanks, my boys certainly enjoyed them, all gone now!’ she reports. But be careful – she noticed that if you don’t use invert sugar or honey but just caster sugar, you’ll need to add a little extra water.
Healthier spelt digestives made my Claudette
Perfect healthy spelt digestive biscuits by Claudette in London. So yummy for tea! :)
Lamingtons
Extremely tasty-looking Lamingtons by Annette in New Zealand. Lovely and moist even without cream inside, she reports. So tempting piled up on that pretty plate. Yum!
