This version is topped with cheese cheese frosting and a sprinkle of coconut and is a really tasty cake. I also have a recipe for Hummingbird Muffins

I didn’t add treacle to this recipe as I wanted a lighter ginger sponge so that the apple wasn’t overpowered by the treacle flavour. It’s a light cake but still packs a ginger punch. It can be enjoyed with a cuppa or served as a delicious winter pudding with homemade custard . Jump to recipe To start pre-heat th

I thought I would make some mini Christmas cakes this year as they would make great presents for friends or family. I have added dried cranberries into my cakes but you could just use a traditional dried fruit mix. You can add any decorations you like and be creative! I have lots of nice festive cutters that I have used in the past to decorate my Christmas cakes for my cafe. I also think the addition of the baking parchment and festive string really finishes them off but you
