This is a light fruit cake – not dark and heavy like traditional fruit cakes but still wonderfully delicious and a perfect accompaniment for any Christmas occasion. My husband – who doesn’t eat fruit cake – said WOW, “this is the best fruit cake I’ve ever tasted!” so that must tell you something. It’s such…
Sweet Treats
Coconut and Chocolate Biscuits
Yummy, quick and easy to whip up!!! This recipe can be doubled (just in case)…… dipped into white or dark chocolate and then into your favorite nut sprinkles. Perfect tea time (anytime) treat.
Peanut Butter Cupcakes
I first tasted peanut butter cupcakes earlier this year when a friend said they were the best cupcakes she had ever tasted. So easy and so yummy. I like peanut butter a lot but I had never thought about it in a cupcake recipe! Well folks all I can say is mmmm mmm mmmm! Try…
Christmas Trifle in a Jar
Whilst researching “trifles”, I came across many different versions, some had jelly some didn’t, some had alcohol some didn’t, some had boudoir biscuits, some had cake, some had cream and others had custard…and some had it all!! I came to the conclusion that anything goes really! I wanted to make a trifle that was pretty…
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins and Blueberry Icing
Okay…these are very yummy and so so pretty..I wasn’t sure to call these cupcakes or muffins, but either way they are delicious! The icing is quite tart but is balanced by the sweetness of the muffin / cupcake..interesting for the palate! The only thing is, I had trouble finding freeze-dried blueberries to make the icing….
Devil’s Food Cake
I’ve always wondered what exactly a Devil’s Food Cake was and after reading a few recipes I discovered that it’s really a chocolate cake, with a little coffee in it and then vanilla icing. I must say that I could hardly taste the coffee in this recipe and perhaps it could be made a little…
Pumpkin Pie
I have never made or tasted Pumpkin Pie before but I have been very intrigued as it has been trending on Pinterest over the last few weeks, I guess as Americans look forward to celebrating Halloween and Thanksgiving. Anyway, a visitor to JustEasyRecipes kindly gave me one of her recipes which I modified slightly. This…
Rice Krispy Treats
This is a classic that all kids (and even adults ) love. This recipe is a great way to get your little bakers into the kitchen and create a tasty Rice Crispy treat. Beware these are moreish!! These are best made and eaten on the same day.
Red Velvet Cupcakes
I love anything red velvet and these are sooo yummy! There’s nothing quite like a red velvet cupcake is there? Mmm…so decadent and delicious! This recipe makes a lot of batter – I could actually make 2 cake layers and 6 cupcakes with this mixture. If you just want to make cupcakes it will make…
No Bake Lemon Cheesecake
Making a lemon cheesecake couldn’t get easier than this – seriously! With only 7 ingredients, you’ll whip this baby up in no time. It’s best to allow it to chill overnight or for 10-12 hours…. You could eat it after 2-3 hours but it won’t be as firm and the texture will still be quite…
Oatmeal Choc Chip Cookies
This is another one of the recipes I got from Three Trees Hill Lodge when we stayed there a few weeks ago. These cookies were in a jar in our room and needless to say that in 2 days, I had polished them all off. They were THAT good people. Seriously you’ll go mad for…
Lamingtons
The secret to a good lamington is the chocolate coating. You want the icing to soak into the sponge, so be generous when rolling / pouring the coating over the sponge. This lamington recipe is easy and tasty and is perfect for afternoon tea – Please leave feedback in the comments section below, I’d love…
