RAW Baking

A chocoholics dream! Chunks of kinder chocolate on the top, along with rich chocolate icing and sprinkled with a spoonful of gold glitter.  A chocolate sponge filled with white chocolate butter icing. As requested by my Niece, Tia for her 14th Birthday Cake. 

I had a very taste slice of Cornish heavy cake from the excellent bakery on St. Martins Island,  Scilly Isles whilst on a recent holiday. Its similar to the classic Rock cake but a bit more crumbly. 😋 This was my first attempt at making a batch myself.  Very tasty if I say so myself! The extra sprinkle of sugar on the top makes all the difference 👌 

Marks and Spencer had sold out of their double choc muffins, so I decided to make my own! I added a lot of dark coco powder to my usual muffin recipe and huge chunks of plain chocolate. It worked. My husband gave me 7.5 out of 10, as opposed to M&S rating 8 out of 10. I'm pleased with that rating as my first attempt!!  To get my rating up, I am told I need to add extra choc chunks on the top of the muffin. No problem!! 

This is my new Brownie recipe. Bursting with both milk and dark chocolate and gooey inside. There is an explosion of chocolate in your mouth as you take a bite.  Delicious if I say so myself!  

These cakes remind me of summer fetes! A classic British cupcake - vanilla sponge filled with butter icing and wings on the top like a butterfly!!

Another family favourite. Luscious lemon drizzle. A lemon sponge covered in as much lemon icing as possible.  One of your five a day. We did eat this outside in  the garden despite the very cold conditions!
