Apple, Date & Ginger Traybake Cake
This cake is a real winter warmer! It has both ground ginger and stem ginger in it and is a really tasty sticky ginger cake with juicy apples and crunchy hazelnuts. 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

Christmas Cake Slice
I like Christmas cake but my Husband and boys don’t! So I wanted a recipe so I could enjoy a little piece but without making a whole cake and baking it for hours. I used to buy Mr Kipling Christmas cake slices so I could have a little bit of cake at Christmas but this year I decided to make my own. I have used a mixture of dried fruits, glacé cherries and crystallised pineapple but you can use whatever are your favourites. Jump to recipe Put the dried fruit, glacé cherries a
