Lemon & Blueberry Loaf Cake
A Lemon and blueberry loaf cake is something I have been wanting to make for a while! I wanted to make a cake where all the fruit didn't sink to the bottom as that would be a complete fail for me. I have had quite a few attempts at getting this recipe perfected and now I am happy as my fruit is evenly distributed!!! I know I am really fussy but I work hard to get my recipes perfect and I know my perfect is a high bar to reach but I wouldn't want anything less. This recipe is

Sticky Ginger Loaf Cake
In the 19th century ginger cake became very popular in British culture. Victorian bakers created ginger loaves creating a rich spiced cake. Historically the flavour comes from ground ginger, dark sugar and black treacle. My version has both ground ginger and stem ginger in it and is a really tasty ginger cake. If you keep the cake for a few days wrapped in parchment and foil the taste and texture will get even better!!! Gingerbread is perfect on a cold day with a cup of tea

Grandma’s Genoa Cake
I have been wanting to add a light fruit cake to my blog for a while and haven’t found one I was happy with so I looked in my Grandma’s handwritten recipe book and found one she called Genoa cake. My Grandma’s recipes are always like doing a technical challenge on GBBO as they always contain the ingredients and nothing much else! I love trying her recipes as they really test my skills but I love the feeling of accomplishment once I have mastered them. Genoa cake is a British
