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

I’ll admit, when I first saw this recipe, I wasn’t sure what to expect. An “American” chocolate cake in a British cookbook? It felt like an odd crossover. But with a bake sale coming up and a pantry full of cocoa powder and golden syrup, I decided to give it a try. The first time

I’ll be honest: this cake nearly didn’t happen. I was halfway through whisking when I realised I’d used fridge-cold margarine and forgotten to soften the butter for the icing. Classic me, right? But guess what? That cold marg actually saved the sponge. The first time I made this Butterscotch Traybake, from Mary Berry’s Fast Cakes,

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

The first time I made this pie, I was simply trying to rescue a sad little basket of windfall apples from my neighbour’s garden. I threw in some rhubarb I’d been meaning to use up and thought, “Why not?”—the kind of thinking that either ends in disaster or something magical. Truthfully, it almost flopped. I

I’ll be honest—I wasn’t sure about caramel in cake the first time I made this. It sounded delicious, but my attempt? Not so much. The icing split, the cake layers domed like volcanoes, and what I ended up with was a leaning tower barely held together by a river of buttercream. But it tasted divine,

The Cake That Surprised Me This cake caught me off guard—and not just because I forgot the lemon curd the first time I baked it. (Yes, really.) I’ve made more Victoria sponges than I can count, but when I spotted this apple and lemon twist in Mary Berry’s Quick Cooking, I knew I had to

Mary Berry’s Malted Chocolate Cake: A Nostalgic Favourite with a Glossy Twist I still remember the first time I made this Malted Chocolate Cake. I’d just moved into a new flat and only had one dodgy cake tin with a loose bottom (you can imagine how well that went). Maltesers scattered across the kitchen, my
