Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Vanilla frosting

    • Melanie on May 24, 2014

      Easy and tasty.

  • Chocolate frosting

    • Melanie on May 24, 2014

      Easy and tasty.

  • Vanilla cupcakes

    • Melanie on May 24, 2014

      Light and fluffy. I paired this cupcake with a rosewater icing and chopped pistachios.

    • alexthepink on October 26, 2018

      Batter seems runny and grainy, but the cupcakes are delicious.

  • Chocolate cupcakes

    • Melanie on May 24, 2014

      Lovely texture and flavour. I paired these with the chocolate frosting recipe.

    • tootkingkitchen on March 11, 2021

      My go to cupcake recipe. Nice and light with flat tops for easy icing

  • Hazelnut and chocolate cupcakes and frosting

    • sarahalley on December 31, 2011

      These came out pretty well, but weren't the best cupcakes I've ever made.

  • Peaches and cream cupcakes

    • Melanie on May 24, 2014

      I liked these cupcakes - adding fruit into the batter helped to keep the cupcakes moist. I made mini cupcakes - cooked for 12-15 min in a FF oven at 155C.

  • Carrot cake

  • Banana loaf

    • pomona on September 22, 2019

      Cake rose flat - remarkable and never happens to me. It looked great but then sunk in the middle as it cooled. I was concerned it hadn't finished cooking but turns out there was an air pocket in the centre. Cake was baked through, great texture, great taste.

  • Key lime pie

    • pomona on October 05, 2018

      Made it for a work event where it was hoovered up. Quality of limes matters.

  • Pumpkin pie

    • rbarathan on August 07, 2011

      check portions - recipe makes enough for two pies

    • pomona on September 22, 2019

      Made the filling with a butternut pumpkin and baked it in ramekins without pastry. Too sweet but otherwise tasty. Didn't have the custard texture of other, eggier pumpkin pie filling I have made. Baked the pumpkin in wedges, skin on for 40 mins at 200. Drained them in a colander while cooling to get it to a more tinned consistency.

  • Blueberry pie

    • pomona on October 05, 2018

      Used the blueberry mix recipe and my own pastry. Very nice, not too sweet. Would be great warm with ice cream.

  • Traditional brownie

    • Apsie on May 04, 2020

      This is my go to brownie recipe, it is often requested by family and colleagues when baking is on the cards. It is simple to make, one pan, one tray, no mess, always works, and has so little flour in the recipe can easily be substituted to make it gluten free.

    • sarcastic84 on January 02, 2022

      Foolproof brownie recipe - made with the wrong sugar & butter & still came out ok. Perfect for making additions to as well. Use cheesecake from Paul Hollywood's weekend baker brownie recipe & add frozen raspberries.

  • Chocolate muffins
