I’ll be honest—the first time I tried making Mary Berry’s chocolate roulade, I cracked it right down the middle. I thought I’d whisked the eggs enough, but nope—the sponge tore like wet tissue paper when I tried to roll it. But that disaster taught me a lot. Now, I know exactly how to achieve that […]

This recipe came about on a dreary Wednesday when I found myself with two forlorn apples, the last bits of an apricot bag, and no motivation to leave the house. I’d never tried Mary Berry’s Apple and Apricot Cake before, but it looked like a forgiving option—and honestly, I was just craving something warm, fruity,

I’ll be honest: I made this one out of pure frustration. I’d tried three other lemon cakes that week, and every single one either turned out too dry or too sweet. Then, I remembered Mary Berry’s Lemon Yoghurt Cake from her Baking Bible. Greek yoghurt? Separate the eggs? It seemed worth a go. The first

The first time I made this cake, I made a rookie mistake: I juiced the orange before zesting it. I ended up scraping soggy peel out of the juicer like a madwoman, half-laughing, half-wondering if Mary Berry herself would be tutting at me from the telly. But when I got it right? Pure magic. This

I used store-bought puff pastry, stuffed them too full, and sealed them half-heartedly. The result? Currant blowouts and soggy bottoms. Once I finally

This cake is one of those recipes where you bake it once, and it lasts forever. The first time I made it, I skipped the overnight fruit soak (huge mistake), used whatever dried fruit I had on hand, and baked it in a cheap tin that scorched the edges. The result? Dry, uneven, and more

The first time I made this was in mid-December, when I was short on time and completely done with recipes that needed overnight soaking or constant boozy feeding. I simply wanted a fruitcake that tasted like Christmas without the hassle. That’s when this recipe came into play. I whipped it up during a snowstorm (no

When I first tried making this cake, I wasn’t expecting much. I had a nearly expired tin of condensed milk and a stash of leftover raisins and cherries from Christmas—so I thought, why not? Turns out, quite a bit can go wrong if you don’t let the boiled fruit mixture cool before adding the eggs

I first baked this Banana and Honey Loaf on a chilly Wednesday afternoon—the kind where the sky darkens by 2 p.m., and you crave something golden and comforting in the oven. I had two overripe bananas begging for attention and a half-empty jar of honey hiding in the cupboard (you know the one—slightly crystallized, probably
