I didn’t bother with tapioca flour, actually used coconut flour instead as I spotted it in SuperValu! But just rice flour works well too

If you like raspberry/coconut slices, you may also like louise cake. Which is super quick and simple to make and oh so delicious.

today I tried a new recipe of banana cake with chocolate chips

That's a new one on me, do you have a recipe for it by any chance? I'm always looking for something different to try

Been watching Bake Off. Been watching, maybe, too much Bake Off.

Last night I dreamt that I was buying a house with the lanky fella from the year Nadiya won.

The night before I dreamt I was working on a new game show with Mel and Sue and I had to clean their panini press.

I should maybe watch something else...

Oh my...... first thought reading that post
"Who needs a while press just for paninis"

But I'm guessing that's not what you meant

I just grab one from online if I make it can't remember where I last plucked it. A Kiwi friend introduced me to the wonder of it. Shortbread base, raspberry jam on cocunutty/meringue topping. Heaven.

Gotcha! That's what I'll do too, thanks.

There's a recipe for it in my Rachel Allen cookbook, must try it out! My bf loves coconut but not shortbread so will see what he thinks lol.

I made these triple chocolate cookies on a whim last night. It was very hard to actually get them into the oven because the dough tasted like chocolate ice cream :P

I adapted Nigella's chocolate chip cookie recipe here:

https://www.nigella.com/recipes/chocolate-chip-cookies

I replaced 50g flour with 50g cocoa, and used a few less chocolate chips (100g milk and 100g white). I also used mostly white sugar because I only had about 75g brown sugar left in the press :P

White sourdough bread. Weekend treat

I made Piratequeen ft Nigella triple chocolate cookies. Oh My Thighs. Ate one and immediately developed a headache... worth it!
Then I found some aged bananas so Donal Skehan's auntie's banana bread is currently in the oven. http://www.donalskehan.com/recipes/banana-bread/
House smells amazing!

LirW

That banana bread is my default recipe! Can't stand that Skehan guy but he has a few decent recipes!

I felt these were on par with the double chocolate M&S ones, what's your recipe?

Would that pipe well? I hate buttercream myself so hate serving it to others. Wonder would it go well on cupcakes.

Pipes well enough and is deadly on cupcakes!

The icing was just 1 cup of blitzed strawberries with a tub of mascarpone and 1 cup icing sugar just barely beaten together then two cups double cream added and whipped until a nice thick consistency. I added a tiny smidge of gel colouring too as I needed it to be very pink... just be careful not to over mix or it will split which happened my first batch

Hi all,

Looking for some advise please. It's my partner's birthday later in the week, his favourite dessert to eat is millionaire's shortbread/ caramel slices.

I was thinking of adapting this into a form of a cake for him but looking for tips.

Was thinking a light double chocolate cake, caramel in the centre and then a chocolate icing with some crushed biscuits.

Any other suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

This girl has dozens of millionaires' shortbread inspired recipes on her blog so no surprise she's made a cake version, maybe you'll get some inspiration from this
