Chocolate Guinness Cake

As a Guinness lover, of course I would fall for such a cake – and it is a winner: rich, dark and velvety! Nigella Lawson’s recipe seemed too rich (250gr butter and 400gr of sugar!) so I followed Jamie Oliver’s. In my ‘interpretation’ below, I used half demerara and half dark brown sugar instead of 200gr of… Read More Chocolate Guinness Cake

Torta di mele – Apple Cake from Sicily

This is a recipe I saw in The Guardian by Fabrizia Lanza, owner of the Anna Tasca Lanza Cooking School in Sicily. In my version below, I used 75gr of caster sugar, 100gr of soft brown sugar and 100gr of dark soft brown sugar – it’s on the sweet side. Ingredients 150g unsalted butter, at… Read More Torta di mele – Apple Cake from Sicily

Courgette, Pistachio and Lemon Syrup Cake

This is a Thomasina Miers recipe and as she says, it is indeed sticky, squidgy and both decadent and virtuous! However, I felt that 175g caster sugar for the drizzle was way too much, so I only used half that –I even think that 250g of sugar in the cake is on the sweet side, so… Read More Courgette, Pistachio and Lemon Syrup Cake

Chocolate Custard Muffins

This is a relatively old Dan Lepard recipe but it’s one of my favourites – he calls them “the best chocolate muffins you’ll ever eat” and I agree!

Chocolate Sockerkaka (Sugar Cake)

I came across this Sweedish Sockerkaka recipe on The Culinary Jumble by accident, while searching how to make cold-brew coffee. This time I drizzled both white and dark chocolate – next time I’d like to try the following: after stiring in some alcohol, reserve the coffee for moistening the cake after it’s been baked and… Read More Chocolate Sockerkaka (Sugar Cake)

Stilton and Date biscuits

This is my first Ottolenghi recipe and I saw it right when we had a lot of leftover stilton and an unopened pack of dates! Our dates were not medjool, so I went with the 200g, but there was lots of date paste left over, so maybe use 12 dates … Ingredients About 12 medjool… Read More Stilton and Date biscuits

I decided to try the recipe below that I found in the Guardian – it’s by Sophie James adapted from The Bojon Gourmet adapted… Read More Chocolate and Olive Oil Cake

Vivian’s torta ceibo

Below a recipe by my friend Vivian, prepared at her bRother’s house in Punta Negra for Bernardo’s birthday. The cake had no official name –it was partly improvised– so I suggested the name Torta Ceibo, after taking pictures of the cake with the lovely and unique flowers of the Ceibo tree growing in the garden… Read More Vivian’s torta ceibo
