The first time I made this Chocolate Orange Cake, it caused quite a bit of drama in my house. Everyone wanted the last slice—it’s that good. The cake is a perfect balance of light, citrusy sponge with just enough cocoa to deepen the flavor, topped with a rich, smooth orange chocolate frosting that’s so good, […]

The first time I baked this cake, I was this close to binning it. The fruit sank like a stone, and the middle? Gloopy. Not my proudest moment. I nearly blamed the recipe (sorry, Mary), but truthfully—I rushed. I didn’t drain the apricots properly or prep the dried fruit like I should’ve. But the second

It all started late one Sunday. I had a couple of sad-looking Bramley apples rolling around in the fruit bowl and not much else in the cupboard. With the weather chilly outside and the kettle on, I thought—why not try a cake? Truth be told, I didn’t expect much. The first attempt? Underbaked. The middle

I’ll admit it—I used to quietly push fruit cake to the side at Christmas, right next to those sad, untouched tangerines. It just never won me over. But last November, while the rain battered the windows and I was itching to bake something cosy, I gave Mary Berry’s fruit cake a go. Everything changed. The

I’ll be honest: the first time I made this Dundee cake, I completely messed up the almond topping. The blanched almonds sank into the batter, and the top ended up looking more like a fruitcake mishap than a proper heritage bake. But I was stubborn. Dundee cake has that charming, old-school vibe—something your gran would

Let’s get real right from the start: my first Bakewell Tart was a buttery catastrophe. The pastry shrank like a wool jumper in a hot wash, the jam went rogue, and the almonds sank straight to the bottom. It was meant for my neighbour’s garden tea… and ended up as a soggy-bottomed crumble pretending to

I baked this lemon-lime traybake on one of those gloomy Wednesdays. Rain slammed the windows, my dinner plans fell through, and the fridge offered little inspiration—except a half-used jar of lemon curd and a lonely lime. That was enough. I decided: Let’s bake. I’ve made lemon drizzle cake countless times, but this recipe brings something

This cake had me muttering under my breath and licking the spoon—sometimes at the same time. It all started on a humid Sunday afternoon. My fridge held one lonely lemon, a few overly ripe passion fruits, and half a tub of double cream I couldn’t bear to throw away. I thought it would be an

I’ll be honest—my first attempt at Mary Berry’s Sultana Tea Loaf was a total disaster. Picture a soggy-bottomed, sunken-centred mess that looked more like a fruit swamp than a loaf cake. The culprit? Impatience. Soaking the fruit for “a cheeky four hours” while I cleaned the kitchen didn’t cut it. Turns out “overnight” actually means

I first made these on a grumpy Tuesday when I was craving something sweet but wasn’t in the mood for a full-blown cake. I discovered a lone Bramley apple in the fridge—slightly bruised but still usable. So, I thought, why not try Mary’s mini version instead of a big cake? To be honest, the first
