This seed cake instantly transported me back to my nan’s sideboard, where a tin of crumbly, slightly mysterious treats was always waiting—either for guests or for grandchildren sneaking in before tea. Truthfully, I wasn’t always a fan of caraway seeds growing up. To my younger self, they were just “those weird crunchy bits” that got […]

I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting much from this cake the first time I made it. I thought, “Dates and walnuts? That sounds like something my grandma would enjoy on a quiet Sunday.” But after the first bite, I was completely won over. The first time I rushed the soaking step (impatient as usual), and the

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 didn’t think these would disappear so quickly. I baked a test tray to check the swirl, popped into the kitchen to make tea, and by the time I came back—three were gone. The smell of warm pecans and cinnamon? Utterly irresistible. The first time, I got a bit overexcited with the swirl. Rookie mistake.

This loaf wasn’t supposed to be anything fancy. I had half a butternut squash hanging around, a bit too much tea in my system, and an itch to bake. What came out of the oven wasn’t just a way to avoid waste—it was golden, warmly spiced, and shockingly good. The first attempt? Way too wet.

This loaf started as a last-minute solution for two overripe bananas sitting on the counter. With no intention of wasting them again, I decided to make something a bit more special than the usual banana bread. The result? A beautifully nutty, comforting loaf that’s perfect for toasting or enjoying with a cup of tea. The

I didn’t grow up baking bread—I grew up eating it. Thick slices of granary toast, nutty and warm, slathered in butter. But actually making bread? That always felt like something for professionals or retirees with a lot of spare time. Then one quiet afternoon, armed with a bag of granary flour and a bit of

If there’s one cake that’s caused a bit of a stir in my kitchen, it’s this one. Coffee and walnut cake? People either love it or say, “That’s a cake for old people.” (My cousin’s words—she’s wrong, of course.) But this—Mary Berry’s Coffee and Walnut Sponge—changed a few minds at my last Sunday lunch. Even
