I love to make traditional cakes and old fashioned cakes, as well as trying to come up with new takes on some old classics. The cakes here range in difficulty level from a no bake traybake such as Chocolate Tiffin to the more challenging Traditional Easter Simnel Cake.
If you’re looking for the ultimate chocolate cake then try my Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Ganache. I used to make this weekly in the tea rooms, giving me plenty of time to try and improve upon the recipe that it was based on – Robyn Stone’s The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe (Ever).
Drizzle Cakes
Raspberry and Lemon Drizzle Cake was the first drizzle cake I came up with for the tea rooms and as it proved so popular I added two additional variations – Blueberry and Lime Drizzle Cake and Strawberry and Orange Drizzle Cake. I hope you enjoy these!
If you love drizzle cakes and scones then you’ve got to try my new Lemon Drizzle Scones, including my Homemade Lemon Curd – it could be the perfect combination! If that’s not enough lemon then I also have a Lemon Drizzle Traybake recipe.
Tea Rooms Cakes
I have recipes for most of the popular classic tea room cakes that I used to serve in my tea rooms – the Classic Victoria Sandwich, the Old Fashioned Boiled Fruit Cake, my Classic Carrot Cake and the Coffee and Walnut Cake, quite possibly the most popular of all. There are drizzle cakes such as the Blueberry and Lime Drizzle Cake that you could also find in the tea rooms and the popular Raspberry and Lemon Drizzle Cake, plus more!
