The first time I made this lime and polenta cake, I forgot the baking powder entirely. I blame the dog—he gave me that intense “feed me now” stare halfway through measuring, and all focus vanished. The result? A flavour-packed brick. No rise, no fluff. But the taste? Full of promise. What convinced me to try […]

The first time I baked this Coconut and Jam Cake, I completely underestimated it. “It’s just a sponge with some jam,” I thought. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I confidently poured the batter right over the jam, thinking I knew best—only to open the oven 45 minutes later to find a golden cake with

It looked like a dessert crime scene. The sponge seemed harmless—golden, fluffy, innocent. But the second I started slicing and filling? Total chaos. Cream was squelching out like a busted pipe, strawberries rolling off like escape artists, and I ended up looking like I lost a jam fight. But here’s the thing—I stuck with it.

I’ll be honest—this roulade nearly collapsed the first time I made it. I didn’t whip the egg whites enough (rookie mistake), overfilled it with cream, and ended up with what could only be described as a sticky banana avalanche. But do you know what?

I’ll be honest—this cake almost defeated me the first time. Fresh off buying Cook and Share, I thought, “Ah, an easy fruit cake—what could possibly go wrong?” Well… sultanas, that’s what. I didn’t simmer them long enough in the orange juice, so instead of soft and juicy, they stayed dry and chewy, like stubborn little

The first time I baked this, I got overexcited about the plums. They were perfect—juicy, deep purple, the kind that practically wink at you from the fruit bowl. But I went overboard. The middle of the cake collapsed into a soggy mess, the crumble topping slid off like an avalanche, and the whole thing resembled

I baked this one mid-November, planning to “feed” it with brandy through December and unveil it perfectly matured on Christmas Day. But—confession—I caved and sliced it after just four days. The smell alone was too much. Rich, boozy, festive… it practically begged me to cut in early. Truthfully, I used to dread making Christmas cakes:
