Cheese & Ham Muffins are so quick and easy to make. During an extended heatwave I was keen to bake something quick. Muffins, as you know, are quick to make and to bake. Though the heat was a factor I did, of course, want something that tastes good too. So these muffins fit the bill […]
Candied Peel Muffins are quick and easy to make. Using my soft Italian Style Candied Peel is what really makes them. However if you don’t have that you can use soft dried apricots instead, or even sultanas. The chopped mixed peel that you can buy in UK supermarkets isn’t quite the same thing. That is […]

They are also perfect for a small sweet treat in school lunch boxes, or to take on a picnic. They are great […]

For today’s recipe, I present Chocolate Hazelnut or Raspberry Filled Cakes. These are petite cakes filled with either chocolate hazelnut spread or raspberry jam. Any type of chocolate hazelnut spread will work well, though Nutella is a very popular brand. They are straightforward to prepare. Simply mix the cake batter and spoon it into paper […]
