I have had a request for a scaled up version of my madeira cake recipe for a wedding cake. The texture of madeira cake is firm enough to cope with ornate icing which makes it a good choice for wedding cakes. However, you do have to remember that it does not keep like a fruit [...]

This is a fabulously fruity and amazingly easy fruit loaf. It’s a great recipe to make with children. I made this with mine when they were not much more than 18 months old. Once they can stand on a chair, they can help to choose the proportions of the dried fruit and put handfuls onto [...] This has been a mainstay of my family for more years than I can remember. It is easy to make and produces a reliably delicious, light and fluffy cake. The only thing which you must NEVER EVER do is open the oven before 20 minutes of the cooking time have passed. You can make a [...] This is our favourite recipe for a traditional Simnel Cake. It’s based on Nigella Lawson’s recipe with tweaks to make it work dairy free. The marzipan balls on top are great fun for the children to make. There are supposed to be eleven (for the disciples of Christ minus Judas, of course) but, when you [...] This makes a great party offering: it looks fantastic and isn’t hard to do! Much more impressive than mince pies for the end of a dinner party, less effort and very Christmassy with a little twist of originality. Enjoy! You will need an 11″ / 28cm loose bottomed flan tin and a wire cooling rack. Recipe: Mince [...] The traditional accompaniment to a glass of mulled wine during the Christmas season. For this recipe you will need 2 sizes of pastry cutters (wine glasses will do in an emergency), 2 tart trays, a pastry brush and a wire cooling rack. Recipe: Mince Pies Summary: Can’t have Christmas without mince pies! Here’s how to make them [...] My mother has been making this cake for Christmas and special occasions in the family for about thirty years. It is truly delicious: moist but not sticky. It isn’t cheap because of all the fruit, but it is well worth the effort for a traditional Christmas cake. Do note that the cake is best made [...] This is a simple recipe which is easy to prepare and looks impressive – always a good combination! For this recipe you will need an 8″ / 20 cm diameter sandwich tin and a food processor. The tin needs to be at least 1½” / 3 cm deep to give you a reasonable depth of filling. Recipe: [...] This cake makes a great Chrismas cake alternative for people who don’t like dried fruit. If, as in our family, you end up doing both fruit and madeira, try making this one square for a different look. For this recipe there are two alternative methods: with and without a food processor. Both ways give good results. [...] This is every bit as delicious as the original (indeed, the original swiss roll is fat free in the first place). The icing is the adjusted part. You must be organised to make a good swiss roll. Don’t start this recipe without reading it all the way through first. You must have everything you need on [...] |
