- [Cherry Tomato and Basil Focaccia](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/cherry-tomato-and-basil-focaccia/) - Having reached a certain point now, in my baking, I decided that I should invest in a stand mixer, and decided upon a KitchenAid device. Having bought it I thought I would try a recipe from the KitchenAid website, and settled upon a savoury bake, Cherry Tomato and Basil Focaccia. Happily it all turned out
- [Sacher Torte](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/sacher-torte/) - Next up on the baking front is Sacher Torte. This is a 'cake' which originated in Vienna and I first tasted it in the Savoy Restaurant in Prague. As an aside, if you are ever in Prague a visit to Savoy Restaurant is very worthwhile. The food is very good and the restaurant has a
- [Medovnik - Honey Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/medovnik-honey-cake/) - Medovnik is the Czech word for a wonderful honey cake. It is time consuming to make, and quite complicated to assemble. But it is well worth it, as it tastes wonderful. I have eaten it many times in Prague, you can buy a slice in any Cukrana, or indeed whole cakes. As with all my
- [Yummy Scrummy Carrot Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/yummy-scrummy-carrot-cake/) - This is another recipe where I didn't think to photograph the result, but I can assure you the recipe is spot on and the resultant cake was simply perfect. I heartily recommend making this, it is easy to make and even easier to eat. The recipe is from the BBC Good Food website and was
- [Sticky Malt Loaf](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/sticky-malt-loaf-2/) - I had a baking blitz a few weeks back, baking 4 different loaves in a single day. The first of which is a Sticky Malt Loaf. For those who know, and love the Soreen malt loaf this is not like that. But it is certainly most delicious, and its stickiness increases day by day. I
- [Nigella's Quadruple Chocolate Loaf Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/nigellas-quadruple-chocolate-loaf-cake/) - This was the second loaf in my one day baking blitz. I found it on Nigella's website, I also found a video on Youtube, so I was able to watch how she made it. Often searching for a video to match a recipe is a good idea, and it gives an indication of how simple,
- [Orange Loaf Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/orange-loaf-cake/) - The third loaf cake in my baking blitz was Orange Loaf Cake. This is quite a simple cake, with a very nice flavour, just enough orange to make it interesting, but not overpowering. Like an idiot I failed to take any photo of this loaf, or indeed, the next one. So I will have to
- [Madeira Loaf](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/madeira-loaf/) - Almost everybody knows Madeira cake. A nice, simple cake that goes so well with a good cup of tea. It is almost impossible to get this cake wrong. Mine turned out nicely, though I have no photo to share. As if I need to repeat myself, I didn't realise I was going to start this
- [Courgette and Chickpea Filo Pie](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/courgette-and-chickpea-filo-pie/) - Let's get any confusion out of the way right from the start. Courgettes are known in some countries, such as USA as Zucchini, which I guess is of Italian derivation. In the UK we use the French name courgette. This is another recipe from Nigella's website. I usually try to use those recipes that
- [Raised Chicken and Ham Pie in Water Crust Pastry](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/raised-chicken-and-ham-pie-in-water-crust-pastry/) - Yet another savoury bake, this one heavy on the meat filling. It is also different in that it uses a water crust pastry. That is the pastry used for raised pies such as the ever popular pork pie. This particular recipe is from Food.com courtesy of the delightfully named French Tart. It does take a
- [Tarte Au Citron](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/tarte-au-citron/) - For my next bake I went back to some French recipes to find one that matched what I expected from a Tarte au citron. This lovely lemony tart is just perfect with some whipped cream. The pastry is a light, sweet shortcrust one, that can be difficult to roll, if over or under worked. But
- [Chocolate Victoria Sponge Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/chocolate-victoria-sponge-cake/) - A Victoria Sponge, or Victoria Sandwich is a very popular cake in the UK. It is one of my favourites, when baked correctly, as it has a lovely lightness to the sponge and a very tasty jam and buttercream filling. I made one such cake which turned out well, but I then went one step
- [Tarte au Chocolat](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/tarte-au-chocolat/) - Following on from the success of my Tarte au citron I decided to try another tart, this time with a chocolat flavour. This recipe is actually from a book by Christophe Felder, called Patisserie. I bought the book recently and have enjoyed reading right through it looking for things to try. The recipe in the
- [Quiche Lorraine - with Cherry Tomatoes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/08/quiche-lorraine-with-cherry-tomatoes/) - Onto another savoury dish. This time it is Quiche Lorraine, but I added some cherry tomatoes into the mix, which is not the way the purists would do it, I am sure. Having done some research I discover that some people put onions and cheese in Quiche Lorraine, but my readings informed me that these
- [Cherry Bakewell Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/cherry-bakewell-cake/) - I had never heard of such a thing as a Cherry Bakewell Cake. Reading the recipe I saw that it was really a sponge cake with a flavour of Bakewell Tart, and the addition of cherries. I thought I would try it, and made it on the same day as I made my Bakewell Tart.
- [Iced Buns or Iced Fingers](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/iced-buns-or-iced-fingers/) - This recipe is one of my favourites, not too sweet, and quite simple, but deliciously nice. Eating an iced bun, reminds me of a TV ad from years ago, where the actor would eat a cream cake and say 'naughty, but nice'. That is just how I feel about these buns. The recipe I used
- [Brioche](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/brioche/) - I had never tried Brioche, knowingly at least, so thought I would have a go and making some. It is an enriched dough, and is supposed to be very light indeed. It is also very heavy on eggs and butter, and sweetened somewhat by a little sugar. For my bake I decided upon a Paul
- [Roasted Orange Pepper Soup](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/roasted-orange-pepper-soup/) - Taking a break from baking recipes I want to share a rather nice, and very simple to make soup. Orange Peppers have a nice sweet taste to them. So that is what I used for this soup, though red, or yellow would probably be just as good. I think green peppers might be a little
- [Millionaire's Shortbread](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/millionaires-shortbread-2/) - This recipe is strictly for those with a sweet tooth, or two. Any shortbread is nice but add a thick layer of caramel and then another, of chocolate, and you have a rich, sweet variant. It is the sort of thing that you don't want a large portion of, or you will feel decidedly sick
- [Sugar and Spice Rock Cakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/sugar-and-spice-rock-cakes/) - Rock Cakes, or Rock Buns, are a tasty little confection that has been around for quite a while, but was heavily promoted during WW2, when many ingredients were rationed, to give an easy to make treat, with not too much of any of the rationed items. I found a lovely recipe on BBC Good Food,
- [Caramelised Apple Cake With Streusel Topping](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/caramelised-apple-cake-with-streusel-topping/) - I wanted to try a cake with apple in, and did a few searches to see what I could find. I found a very tempting recipe for Apple Streusel Cake on Joyofbaking.com but was a bit concerned about how wet it would get whilst baking. So I opted for a recipe from BBC Good Food,
- [Raised Pork Pie - Disaster Averted](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/raised-pork-pie-disaster-averted/) - For those of a nervous disposition, in culinary terms, you may wish to read no further. What follows is a tale, not of Derring Do but of a woeful attempt to make a Raised Pork Pie. Now the term raised, in this instance, is slightly false, since this pie is made in a cake tin.
- [Flourless Chocolate Lime Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/flourless-chocolate-lime-cake/) - I started hunting for some recipes with lime infused chocolate, thinking to make some brownies, as I have never made those. After checking a few different recipes I found this flourless cake, from Nigella's website and then I found a video on youtube, where she makes it,. I think it was done in canada. Anyway
- [Coconut Rock Cakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/coconut-rock-cakes/) - After the success of the Sugar and Spice Rock Cakes, last week, I thought I would try some different ones. The flavour decided upon was coconut and I found a very good recipe on Hedgecombers website . It is a very straightforward recipe, and the results appear to be very good. I haven't tasted yet, but
- [Devil's Food Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/devils-food-cake/) - For a Devil's Food Cake I turned, once again, to the almost infallible Nigella recipes. Now this cake is seriously rich, with a nice crumb to the sponge and a bitter sweet flavour to the filling and frosting. It is the sort of cake that you may not wish to have too large a slice
- [Stuffed Peppers With A Tomato Sauce](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/stuffed-peppers-with-a-tomato-sauce/) - Taking a break from baking today, I made some stuffed peppers, with a tomato sauce, and served them with rice. It is an easy to make dish, if a little time consuming. The results, however, are well worth waiting for. I served the peppers with some boiled rice, adding a little coconut at the end
- [Coconut Macaroons](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/coconut-macaroons/) - Coconut Macaroons are a favourite memory from childhood, though I cannot claim to have feasted upon them with any regularity. I do recall eating them though, a lovely coconut flavour and quite moist. I looked at lots of recipes to try to decide just how to do them, and in the end I decided to
- [Mandarin Tart](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/mandarin-tart/) - Today I the recipe I have come up with is my own invention. This is quite a departure for me, to try and make something, from my own ideas, with just the limited experience I have already gained. For a Mandarin tart I thought I would try a sweet pastry, and a custard filling, flavoured
- [Easy Chocolate Tart](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/easy-chocolate-tart/) - I have previously made a Tarte au Chocolat, which turned out very well. Today I decided upon a slightly easier Chocolate Tart. The reason for the tart was more to use up some pastry I had left over from making yesterday's bake. I could easily have frozen it and used it another time. In
- [Chocolate Chip Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/chocolate-chip-cookies/) - A nice, simple recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies today, which I found on BBC Good Food . The recipe says it makes 30, but I only got 20. That is clearly because I used rather heaped teaspoons of the mixture. But they turned out very well indeed. I couldn't resist eating one even before they
- [Custard Kisses](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/09/custard-kisses/) - Now doesn't that seem a silly name for a recipe? I found the recipe on BBC Good Food and, when I read it, thought that they sounded quite interesting. The bake is a sort of shortbread, very light and crumbly, and the filling is a butter cream type with some custard powder to add some flavour.
- [Chocolate Brownies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/10/chocolate-brownies/) - A nice, simple, recipe today, Chocolate Brownies. These are very easy to make and have a lovely, rich, chocolate flavour, with a crunch top and a moist insides. The problem with these is that you rather want to eat one each time you have a cup of tea. If you drink as much tea
- [Mississippi Mud Pie](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/10/mississippi-mud-pie/) - I have researched, on the internet, a number of different recipes for Mississippi Mud Pie and found it difficult to decide which was the really authentic one. However it seems that there are two main variants. One has a biscuit base and then filling and topping. The other variant seems to have no biscuit base,
- [Lemon Meringue Pie](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/10/lemon-meringue-pie-2/) - Lemon Meringue Pie is an old favourite in the UK. Often these days those that are available in supermarkets don't really have the meringue as it should be. So a home-baked one is always likely to be preferable. The recipe I used, from BBC Good Food calls it Ultimate Lemon Meringue Pie. Until I
- [Kouign Amann](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/10/kouign-amann-2/) - Kouign Amann, pronounced something like Queen Amarn, is a pastry that I had never heard of, until it appeared as a challenge on The Great British Bake-Off. So I had to investigate, and found that it is similar in texture to a croissant. The recipe I followed is from Paul Hollywood, on BBC Food website.
- [Eccles Cakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/10/eccles-cakes-2/) - A fruit filled, slightly spicy flaky pastry confection is always welcome. So with Eccles Cakes we have something that really hits the mark, so to speak. Thought to have originated in the town of Eccles, in Lancashire, these cakes are a sweet and fruity delight. Using a recipe from BBC Good Food, which I have
- [Bacon and Onion Roly Poly](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/10/bacon-and-onion-roly-poly/) - I love suet based puddings and savouries. This particular one is a roly poly, rather than a pudding. Usually, or at least more often, suet items are steamed or cooked in a muslin cloth and boiled. However for this particular item I really didn't want it to be too stodgy, so I decided to bake
- [Chocolate Fruit Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/10/chocolate-fruit-cake/) - This recipe, for a Chocolate Fruit Cake, is from Nigella's website. According to Nigella's description it is squidgy, which please me, since I was rather worried that my attempt at it was not going to turn out quite right. The most complicated thing about the recipe is following the instructions to double line the cake
- [Cauiflower Soup](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/10/cauiflower-soup/) - After the rather lovely fruit cake I am taking a break from baking, until tomorrow. Instead I have decided to make one of my favourite soups. This is entirely my recipe, no cribbing from anyone else. Therefore, as you might imagine, it is a very simple recipe but tastes delicious. You do need a food
- [Crusty Cob Loaf](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/10/crusty-cob-loaf/) - To go with yesterday's Cauliflower Soup I decided on Paul Hollywood's recipe, on BBC Food website. This is a white loaf with a hard crust on the outside. I watched a video of Paul making the loaf and read the recipe. It didn't give any indication that this would work well in a stand
- [Eclairs](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/eclairs/) - I decided to try to make some eclairs. I must say it was not without problems. Researching the various recipes it was very difficult to decide which one would produce the ideal results. There seem to be two schools of thought. One says cook the pastry oh a high heat for a while and
- [Dundee Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/dundee-cake/) - Dundee Cake is a lovely, fruit-filled cake, topped with blanched almonds. Often eaten around Christmas time instead of a darker, more dense Christmas Cake. I love both types of cake, but Dundee cake is perhaps my preferred one, and it can be eaten at any time of the year. It also keeps well in an
- [Scandinavian Cinnamon Buns](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/scandinavian-cinnamon-buns/) - There is nothing quite like the smell of cinnamon as it is being baked. The aroma really whets the appetite. So I hunted around for some nice bunsrecipes and found one for a Scandinavian type bun in The Guardian . The article actually goes into detail about several different recipes they tried, and then provides, what
- [Chicken and Leek Pie, with a Suet Crust](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/chicken-and-leek-pie-with-a-suet-crust/) - I just love Chicken and Leek Pie, so I thought I would make one, and see how it turned out. But I decided to be slightly different, and use suet in the pastry top, rather than the more commonly used puff pastry. For the filling I used, as well as the chicken and leeks,
- [Cherry Almond Loaf Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/cherry-almond-loaf-cake/) - A nice simple to make cake is a loaf cake. In this case it is Cherry Almond Loaf Cake. I took this from a Nigella Recipe. Reading some comments on her site seemed to imply that the cooking time was longer than that given. However I found that the 45-60 minutes estimated time was just
- [Spiced Teacake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/spiced-teacake/) - A lovely treat is a toasted teacake, with lashings of butter, all washed down with a cup of tea. I looked around for a recipe, and found several that looked promising. The one I settled of was on the BBC Food website, courtesy of The Hairy Bikers. I just want to comment on that site,
- [FruityTea Cake - Loaf](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/fruitytea-cake-loaf/) - I found what reads like a nice recipe to try, for a Tea Cake. The recipe is on BBC Good Food. The recipe calls for mixed dried berries and cherries. In my supermarket the only dried berries were cranberries. So I opted to use mixed dried fruit instead. The flavour should still be good, even
- [My Hob Nobs](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/my-hob-nobs/) - Hob Nob biscuits are actually a proprietary brand, but I have made a similar type of biscuit, just trying out a basic biscuit recipe with some rolled oats in it. They have turned out rather well, with a lovely sweet aroma, as they cooked. They have a nice, brittle crunch to then, and have just
- [Fruit Shortcake Biscuits](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/fruit-shortcake-biscuits/) - Fruit Shortcake biscuits are a childhood favourite biscuit, made with a short pastry and currants. The recipe I used to make these is actually referred to on Good To Know as squashed fly biscuits, from a recipe by Rachel Allen. This is another easy to make recipe, and the results are very tasty indeed.
- [Banana Walnut Cake with Caramel Butter Frosting](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/banana-walnut-cake-with-caramel-butter-frosting/) - My first day back from my holiday and I am baking again. This time is it a little invention of my own, but I came up with the idea after searching through a few recipes which are similar. I wanted to try something like a Banoffee Cake, rather than a pie, so that it had
- [Chocolate Lime Macaroons](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/11/chocolate-lime-macaroons/) - Yesterday I started the Christmas cake making process. But it will be another two weeks before it is ready. The cake is made and has been fed with brandy. Now it is resting in and airtight container. I will post about the cake when it has been finished with marzipan and icing. In the meantime
- [Double Chocolate Chip Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/double-chocolate-chip-muffins/) - For a simple bake, that tastes very good indeed there is nothing like a Chocolate Chip Muffin. The difference with this version is that it has two types of chocolate, firstly some very good cocoa powder in the batter and, secondly, 70% dark chocolate chips. The batter is very loose so care is needed when
- [Mincemeat, for Mince Pies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/mincemeat-for-mince-pies/) - In preparation for making mince pies, just before Christmas, I have made my own mincemeat. Some may wonder why I have posted this on a baking blog. But of course, it is a precursor to another post, on 18th or 19 December, when I will make the mince pies. They are definitely baked items.
- [Mince Tart, with Meringue Topping](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/mince-tart-with-meringue-topping/) - Having produced rather more mincemeat than I needed, yesterday, when I doubled the ingredients in a recipe, I decided to just use some to try out a mince tart. I used a tried and tested recipe for shortcrust pastry, and then filled it with the mincemeat that I didn't have jars for. Finally I
- [Nectarine and Pistachio Tart](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/nectarine-and-pistachio-tart/) - I found a very nice recipe in The Telegraph, for a Peach and Pistachio Tart. However my local supermarket has been out of peaches for at least a week, so I resorted to using nectarines instead, as well as making a couple of other minor changes to the recipe. I will produce, below, the
- [Peanut Butter Cookies, with Streusel Topping](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/peanut-butter-cookies-with-streusel-topping/) - I recently saw these cookies on my Google+ page, and on the World Baking Page. So the original recipe came from here. They seemed to have been made to test out a branded baking sheet. I thought it might be nice to try the recipe myself, but first I had to convert the ingredients to
- [Mini Shortbread Treacle Tarts](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/mini-shortbread-treacle-tarts/) - Well what a lovely recipe I have today, very simple and really quite delicious. The story around the recipe is that I was searching for a recipe for mince pies, that I will be making in the next few days. I saw one that claimed it was very easy. However from reading the recipe I
- [Christmas Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/christmas-cake/) - This Christmas cake has been 3 weeks in preparation. I could actually have started it a couple of months ago, but I knew I was going away and wouldn't be here to feed it for a couple of weeks, so I delayed starting. Christmas cake is a particular favourite of mine, as it is rich
- [Oatie Biscuits](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/oatie-biscuits/) - I thought I would try to come up with a little concoction, very simple, but hopefully quite tasty. Just some flour, butter, sugar and oats, to make some biscuits, similar to hob nobs. Some spare glace moreno cherries, quartered and popped in the middle of each biscuit should give an extra hit of flavour during
- [Christmas Cake Updated](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/christmas-cake-updated/) - This Christmas cake has been 3 weeks in preparation. I could actually have started it a couple of months ago, but I knew I was going away and wouldn't be here to feed it for a couple of weeks, so I delayed starting. Christmas cake is a particular favourite of mine, as it is rich
- [Mince Pies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/mince-pies/) - Today I made my mince pies. You may recall that I made the mincemeat a couple of weeks ago, and stored it in sterilised jars. The mincemeat will keep for at least 6 months in an airtight jar, and I have more than I needed for today's recipe, so I can repeat it in the
- [Chocolate Victoria Sandwich](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/chocolate-victoria-sandwich/) - This is actually a repeat recipe, from a few months ago. I enjoyed it so much and thought it was time for another attempt. I am posting a photo of the latest version. A Victoria Sponge, or Victoria Sandwich is a very popular cake in the UK. It is one of my favourites, when baked
- [Soft White Rolls](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/soft-white-rolls/) - As it is Christmas time I thought I wouldn't be baking for a week or so, but I had the urge. At first I was going to try to make some pretzels, but having read the recipes I decided that was just too much work for today. So I opted to make some soft white
- [Kouign Amann - once again](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/kouign-amann-once-again/) - I made Kouign Amann a few months ago, and it was the first time I had tried them. Having never heard of them until the Great British Bake-Off. The result was a wonderful tasting confection. All puffy, buttery and sugary. It was like something I could never have thought of, truly delicious. I have done
- [Chocolate Oat Cakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2014/12/chocolate-oat-cakes/) - Christmas is over and I am back to trying to find some nice items to bake. I decided on oat cakes. Now they are usually a biscuit(UK biscuit not US biscuit), and quite plain. But I stumbled across a recipe for a chocolate version, which is more of a small cake than a traditional biscuit.
- [London Cheesecake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/london-cheesecake/) - Now this is a treat from my childhood. In those days they were known just as cheesecakes. But I suppose with the advent of that glutinous, cloying cheesy type tart that is so popular these days my childhood favourite has had to change its' name. A London Cheesecake is a puff pastry with a jam
- [Stoneground Wholemeal Loaf and Rolls - With Mulligatawny Soup](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/stoneground-wholemeal-loaf-and-rolls-with-mulligatawny-soup/) - I wanted to try a Mulligatawny soup recipe that I found, but also needed some bread to go with it, so I decided on some wholemeal rolls. However I struggled to find a decent recipe for the rolls that I liked. I did find a Paul Hollywood recipe for a wholemeal loaf, and thought that
- [Custard Cherry Biscuits](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/custard-cherry-biscuits/) - I found a recipe for these Custard Cherry Biscuits on Flickr. I was paging through some photos using Google search and saw the photo. Visiting the website that the photo is on provided a recipe as well. It all looked very simple, so I thought I would give it a try. The result turned out
- [Almond Macaroons](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/almond-macaroons/) - As a child a nice little treat was an Almond Macaroon, which had a lining on the underside of rice paper. I haven't seen them for years, but the name popped into my head the other day. So a search on the internet ensued, and Lo! the delightful Delia came up trumps. Delia Online had
- [Chelsea Buns](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/chelsea-buns-2/) - Chelsea Buns are a lovely, fruit-filled bread, traditionally baked close together so that they join up in baking. I read lots of recipes before deciding what ingredients to use. Some use mixed dried fruit, others sultanas, raisin, apricots, cherries and any number of other fruits. I eventually decided to try to make something that resembled
- [Shrewsbury Cakes (also known as Shropshire Cakes)](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/shrewsbury-cakes-also-known-as-shropshire-cakes/) - Now this recipe is not actually a cake at all, it is a biscuit, or cookie for American readers of the blog. The reason for making these shortbread type biscuits is quite simple. I was watching TV and a guy came on, talking about historic recipes. Ivan Day was the guy's name, he appears in
- [Coconut Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/coconut-muffins/) - I seem to be enjoying muffins quite a bit lately, and have come up with a recipe of my own that I wanted to try. That is coconut muffins, topped with icing and some more coconut. Most muffins don't really have toppings, except maybe some crumbs to add some crunch, but I think these little
- [Mini(Individual) Chocolate & Cherry Gateaux](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/miniindividual-chocolate-cherry-gateaux/) - I came up with this recipe for a Mini Chocolate Gateaux by mixing parts of two or three different recipes together. The idea was to make individual cakes, with straight sides, so a muffin tin was not an option. I acquired a 12 hole pan, with the same diameter as muffin tins, but with straight
- [Individual Pork Pies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/individual-pork-pies/) - There is nothing quite like a pork pie, eaten cold, with some Branston pickle or caramelised red onions, together with some salad or chips. I checked out a few recipes and decided that I needed to amalgamate a few to get what I wanted. I used a straight sided muffin tin to make my version,
- [Lemon Layer Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/lemon-layer-cake/) - I found a very appetising recipe on BBC Food, by Simon Rimmer, for a Lemon Layer Cake. This is a sponge cake, cut into two layers and filled will a marbled lemon and mascarpone cheese filling. I was keen to give it a try and wanted to try, at the same time, to test something
- [Whoopie Pies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/whoopie-pies/) - Whoopie Pies are something that I had not heard about. But I came across them as I was looking around for something to bake. It seems, if what I read is true, that these are becoming increasingly popular. The version I decided to make is heavy on the chocolate. I wasn't sure about the filling
- [Mini Monkey Bread](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/01/mini-monkey-bread/) - Having never heard of Monkey Bread I was intrigued, when I found a photo of some on a site called Zergnet. It is not a site I had heard of either, and can't even remember how I found it. But the site is well worth a look, for those who have an interest in food,
- [Gingerbread Whoopie Pies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/02/gingerbread-whoopie-pies/) - Having discovered whoopie pies last week I thought I would give them a second outing, but this time using ginger.

- [Tres Leches Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/02/tres-leches-cake/) - This cake, Tres Leches, is one that I had never heard of before. From Mexico it is a sponge cake, infused with three milks, condensed, evaporated and full milk. It sounded interesting, but I wondered whether it might be too sweet for the English palate. But hey! You will never know until you try it,
- [Devonshire Scones](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/02/devonshire-scones/) - Scones, filled with cream and jam are a lovely treat with afternoon tea. I really enjoy them, and found a nice, and easy, recipe from Mary Berry . The recipe will make a good 18 - 24 scones, with a 5cm cutter, depending on the thickness of the dough. They take no time at all to
- [Brioche à Tête](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/02/brioche-a-tete/) - A while back I made some Brioche, from a Paul Hollywood recipe, it turned out very well indeed, as you can see here. Today I decided that I would use the same recipe to try to make some Brioche à Tête, which are rolls, with a little 'head' on them. I did check out some

But I had a Victoria Sponge recipe that I wanted to try, with some freeze-dried raspberry powder. I have another recipe that I want to use it for, but thought I would try out the cupcakes first.

In this version, of individual cakes, I have added freeze-dried raspberry powder to the sponge mixture to give it a little raspberry flavour. Then a smear of raspberry jam on the bottom layer, covered with a nice chocolately buttercream before the top layer goes on. The whole thing
- [Victoria Sponge, with Coconut and Pineapple Icing.](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/02/victoria-sponge-with-coconut-and-pineapple-icing/) - I had intended to make a Victoria Sponge cake with a pineapple filling. But I had to change my plan, part way through. Even after draining the crushed pineapple it was far to wet to contemplate putting in the middle of the cake. It would also not mix well with a buttercream filling, making that
- [Cardamom & Lemon Stamped Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/02/cardamom-lemon-stamped-cookies/) - I found an interesting recipe for these Cardamom and Lemon biscuits(cookies) on the BBC Food site.

- [Abbey Crunch Biscuits](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/02/abbey-crunch-biscuits/) - Years ago McVitie's used to have a wonderful biscuit called Abbey Crunch. They don't seem to make it any more, and it is such a shame. They tasted so good, with a crunchy at texture and a lovely flavour of golden syrup. I just had to try to make some so I set about looking
- [Tarte Tatin](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/02/tarte-tatin/) - When I first started this blog the very first item I mentioned was Tarte Tatin.

- [Strawberry Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/02/strawberry-muffins/) - I had some strawberries that needed to be used before they went past their best.

- [Tarte Au Sucre](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/03/tarte-au-sucre/) - It seems that Tarte Au Sucre, or Sugar Pie is different between France and Belgium and North Ameria. In France and Belgium, from the recipes I have read they tend to be a brioche type bread recipe, whereas in North America it appears that a shortcrust pastry is preferred. For my attempt I found a
- [Anzac Biscuits](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/03/anzac-biscuits-2/) - I decided on a biscuit day, and first up was my take on Anzac Biscuits. ANZAC actually stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corp. That army fought valiantly in World War 1 at Gallipoli and other places. Anzac biscuits, in one form, were sent to the troops. I believe, from reading, that those biscuits
- [Highlander Shortbread Biscuits](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/03/highlander-shortbread-biscuits/) - This is my version of a meltingly light shortbread biscuit. I came up with it after reading a few different recipes for Highlander biscuits, that seemed to use evaporated milk, or some similar liquid. But I found a few that didn't include liquid, only softened butter. So my version is very similar to a shortbread,
- [Chocolate Almond Square](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/03/chocolate-almond-square/) - I found a lovely recipe for Chocolate Almond Square in a book called Chocolate Bible, from Le Cordon Bleu.

- [Genovese Almond Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/03/genovese-almond-cake/) - I found another appetising cake in Le Cordon Bleu's Chocolate Bible, Genovese Almond Cake. Not too heavy on the chocolate, but lots of almond flavour, the combination of which is very good indeed. The recipe called for an 18cm square cake tin, but mine is 20cm. So this time, unlike my last bake, I increased
- [Black Forest Gateau](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/03/black-forest-gateau/) - Harking back to the 1970s makes one think of a firm favourite of those days, Black Forest Gateau. It was almost a staple of the diet in those days, served in almost every restaurant. Although it is not so popular these days that doesn't mean that it isn't a very tasty dessert. I took a
- [Apple and Almond Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/03/apple-and-almond-cake/) - I found a very nice recipe on Nigella.com for an Apple and Almond cake. The recipe doesn't use flour, butter or oil, except for greasing. It just uses apples, sugar, eggs and almonds, with a little lemon juice. What could be simpler. I adjusted the recipe a little, by beating the egg whites separately, until they
- [Mincemeat Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/03/mincemeat-muffins/) - Before Christmas I made some mincemeat, and used it for my mince pies etc, traditional at Christmas. But I had a jar left over, which wasn't a problem as it keeps for up to 6 months in the fridge, if in a sterilised, airtight container. So for my first bake upon my return from a

I decided upon a vanilla muffin with a chocolate centre to see how that would work. They certainly look good, and have a gooey centre, though they are just a little too gooey to be able to peel from the paper. A spoon was necessary to eat the base,
- [Simnel Cake - An Easter Tradition](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/04/simnel-cake-an-easter-tradition/) - Simnel Cake is a very traditional bake for Easter. Made with dried fruits and almond paste(marzipan) it has one layer of the paste in the middle of the cake and another on the top, and is then decorated with 11 marzipan balls.

- [Financiers](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/04/financiers/) - Financiers are French Petit Fours which I thought I would try from the latest book I bought, Patisserie and Baking Foundations from Le Cordon Bleu. The recipe is actually quite simple, though it does have something I have never tried before, trimoline, also known as invert sugar. I had to find out what that is
- [English Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/04/english-muffins-2/) - English Muffins, ideal for breakfast, or for Eggs Benedict, are known in the UK, or certainly always were as muffins.

Traditionally the layers of crispy puff pastry are filled with creme patissier. However since some of the 'tasters' are not so keen
- [Happy Bread, or Holiday Bread](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/04/happy-bread-or-holiday-bread/) - I saw a photo of this bread on Google+ from FoodIva, and in her post she mentioned that she found it at Eva Toteva's blog, that recipe was in Russian. Happily for me Iva had spent the time to translate the recipe. Eva had called it Holiday Bread and Iva called it Happy Bread. I

Finally they

- [Cheese Straws](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/04/cheese-straws-2/) - Cheese Straws are a lovely savoury nibble, and I was in need of that after rather overloading on sweet things in the past few days. So I set about checking some recipes. I decided on this one, from BBC Food as it was a simple pastry, rather than the time consuming puff pastry. Of course I
- [Bounty Bars - Homemade](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/04/bounty-bars-homemade/) - I just love a Bounty, from time to time. As an exercise in indulgence I thought I would try to make my own.

- [Almond Sponge and Chocolate Pyramid](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/05/almond-sponge-and-chocolate-pyramid/) - In a book I bought I found a recipe for this type of cake. However, the recipe, as with several others in the book, was not complete,and it didn't properly explain the construction of the cake, not to mention the fact that the phots revealed only half the number of layers that the recipe indicated.
- [Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/05/lemon-blueberry-loaf-cake/) - A Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake sounded just too good not to try. So, from JoyofBaking I bring you this easy recipe. As always with that site they give the ingredients in both metric and US style measurements. There is also a video of how to make it. The only difference with mine is that
- [Basbousa](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/05/basbousa/) - Basbousa is an interesting bake. It seems to come from the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey and, maybe Greece, in various guises. Some recipes have coconut, some don't. The one common is that it is made with semolina, though some recipes add flour too. For my attempt, as per Titli's Busy Kitchen omits the coconut. Titli
- [Sablé Breton](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/05/sable-breton-2/) - Sablé Breton, a lovely, crisp and very light biscuit, or cookie, is just the ticket for today.

Fresh strawberries, pureed for the cake mix and for the frosting too, and then some slices of strawberry on top sounded like a good idea. It was a bit of a guess just how much puree to use in each, but with the frosting
- [Chocolate Financiers](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/05/chocolate-financiers-2/) - For World Baking Day, which is today, I have decided to bake some Chocolate Financiers.

- [Crumbly Jam Tarts](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/05/crumbly-jam-tarts/) - I wanted to make some Jam Tarts, always a favourite, particularly with children. But I was so enamoured of the pastry I made for my Cherry Bakewells, since it was crumbly and almost melt in the mouth, that I decided to use that recipe, rather than a more traditional one. Often the pastry in Jam
- [Lemon Sponge Slices](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/06/lemon-sponge-slices/) - I have a lovely, light, recipe today. A lemon sponge which is covered with a lemon icing. Not too much lemon though, as I rather like just enough of the lemon flavour in both to let you know it is there, but not enough to really swamp the taste buds. For this recipe I was

- [Chocolate & Hazelnut Biscotti](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/06/chocolate-hazelnut-biscotti/) - A new departure for me today, biscotti. I have never eaten one, let alone tried to make any.

- [Lemon Pound Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/06/lemon-pound-cake/) - A lemon pound cake seemed like a good idea. Rather similar to what we know in the UK as Madeira Cake, I found a recipe on Foodnetwork.co,uk, I think taken from one by Anna Olson, but with metric weights. This version is heavy on butter and has soured cream too, plus lots of eggs, which

- [Apple Pie](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/07/apple-pie-2/) - I love apple pie and so I thought it was about time I made one. For the recipe I relied on the wonderful Joyofbaking website .

Mine is a Genoese sponge(but only half of it), lightly brushed with some rum to give a little extra moisture, and topped with a chocolate truffle ganache.

Carrot and sultanas in a cake sound very good, but add in some pecan nuts and things get even better. Then to top it off with a creamy frosting
- [Oat & Raisin Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/07/oat-raisin-cookies/) - The soft texture of cookies is a nice departure, sometimes, from the more traditional British biscuit. So I decided to try some cookies, with oats and raisins. The idea was to come up with something that had a little bit of crunch on the outside, but was still soft and moist in the centre.
- [Sticky Toffee Pudding](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2015/07/sticky-toffee-pudding/) - Sticky Toffee Pudding is a firm favourite of most people I think.

- [Coconut Cupcakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/03/coconut-cupcakes/) - I love coconut and cupcakes are a favourite too, so the two together seemed like a natural combination. I had some coconut milk left over from a previous recipe, that I needed to use. So that formed the basis for the recipe. A nice light sponge is what sets a cupcake apart, so I needed
- [Chocolate Hazelnut Brioche Flower](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/03/chocolate-hazelnut-brioche-flower/) - I saw a recipe for a Brioche Flower that was quite impressive, so I took a look around and found several recipes and videos, all on a similar theme. The all use Nutella, which is something I had never even tasted. But I was intrigued, so I bought a jar and had a little taste
- [Hot Cross Buns](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/03/hot-cross-buns/) - Easter, and specifically Good Friday is the traditional day for eating Hot Cross Buns. In fact it wouldn't be Easter in the UK if there were no Hot Cross Buns. They are a deliciously fruity and spicy bun, with a cross on the top. I have made them before, but today I used a recipe
- [Butter Cookies - With A Cookie Press](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/03/butter-cookies-with-a-cookie-press/) - I decided to bring my cookie press back into action today, with some butter shortbread cookies. My recipe will make 72 cookies, so doubling the amount will make a good 144, which is ideal for a family. Double pressing the cookie press also makes larger cookies, so a smaller number will be achieved. But the
- [Blackberry & Lemon Cheesecake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/03/blackberry-lemon-cheesecake/) - After the success of my Raspberry and Lemon Cheesecake I decided to try a blackberry version. This time though I would use frozen rather than fresh berries. In the UK frozen berries are much cheaper than the fresh ones and work very well in making sauces etc. In fact mine turned out very well.
- [Steak & Mushroom Pie - Butter Shortcrust Pasrty](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/03/steak-mushroom-pie-butter-shortcrust-pasrty/) - I have a lovely book, Perfect Pies, by the Hairy Bikers. They do a show on BBC and the recipe can be seen on BBC Food website. I love a meat pie for dinner so this recipe was ideal. However I did change how I made it. The original recipe has the filling cooked in
- [8 Stranded Plait/Braid Loaf](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/03/8-stranded-plait-braid-loaf/) - I saw this 8 strand loaf being made by contestants on The Great British Bake Off a few years ago, and have often wanted to try it. The recipe is one of Paul Hollywood's on BBC Food. So I thought I would use that, except that my plaiting/braiding is different to how that recipe says
- [Biscotti - Hazelnut & Date](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/04/biscotti-hazelnut-date/) - I do like biscotti and am always up for trying something new, in terms of flavour combinations. So hazelnut and date seemed like it was worth trying. I saw it on Paul Hollywood's site. Biscotti are quite easy to make and don't take long. But they are very rewarding, since they not only taste great
- [Lamingtons - An Australian Treat](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/04/lamingtons-an-australian-treat/) - Lamingtons are something I read about a while back and have been considering making. So I watched a few videos and checked out some recipes. Originating in Australia and named after an erstwhile governor of Queensland, these cakes seem to come in several variations, but all have a cake centre, a chocolate coating and then
- [Raspberry Mousse & Jelly(Jello) Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/04/raspberry-mousse-jellyjello-cake/) - I decided to try something a little different to what I usaully do, A light sponge cake covered with mousse and then jelly(or jello). I chose raspberry as my flavour since it is one of my favourites, and should go well in a mousse. I also decided that rather than make a raspberry coulis, as
- [Orange Friands](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/04/orange-friands/) - Having made friands a couple of times recently, and enjoyed them very much I thought I would try a different flavour. I decided upon orange, and guessed that the zest of three oranges would be enough to give a good flavour. Friands are very easy to make, and taste so good , being moist and
- [Thumbprint Cookies X 3 - Lemon Curd - Raspberry- Marmalade](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/04/thumbprint-cookies-x-3-lemon-curd-raspberry-marmalade/) - I decided to try some thumbprint cookies, having never had them before. I saw, from researching, that the cookie dough would be very short indeed, so would crumble at almost the slightest touch. That appealed since I love a short biscuit. For filling I decided to experiment, since I had some home-made lemon curd as
- [Almond Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/04/almond-cake/) - I saw a wonderful looking cake for an Almond and Lemon Cake. The recipe involved taking flaked almonds and roasting them and then grinding them to use as the base for the cake. In my version I vary it slightly, in so much as I just used ground almonds, unroasted. But I did roast some
- [Lemon Crinkle Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/04/lemon-crinkle-cookies/) - I came across crinkle cookies, having never heard of them before and decided I would like to try them. At first I thought I would make some chocolate ones, but eventually decided upon lemon. Crinkle cookies are balls of dough, rolled in icing sugar and as they bake the dough cracks to give a very
- [Crumble Topped Shortbread With Blueberry Curd](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/05/crumble-topped-shortbread-with-blueberry-curd/) - I decided to make a variant on shortbread today. A shortbread with a layer of blueberry curd and topped with more shortbread to form a crumble topping. Of course any curd would do, and it isn't necessary to make your own, shop bought curd, particularly lemon or orange would do very nicely. But since I
- [Key Lime Pie](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/05/key-lime-pie/) - It is a gloriouis spring day, with the temperature soaring to a balmy 20C(68F), and with the sun shining. So what better to make than a Key Lime Pie, ready for more sunshine and warm weather over the weekend. Of course, in the UK we are unlikely to be able to source Key Limes,
- [Rum-soaked Sultana Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/05/rum-soaked-sultana-muffins/) - I had some sultanas that I wanted to use up. They are those nice, juicy dried fruits, known in the USA as golden raisins I think. I love to make them nice and plump before use, so soak them in something to do that. So I cam up with the idea of rum-soaked sultana muffins.
- [Chocolate Crinkle Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/05/chocolate-crinkle-cookies/) - Having made some crinkle cookies for the first time a couple of weeks ago I thought I would try some chocolate ones today. I checked a few recipes and they all seemed to vary to some degree, some using cocoa powder only, some using melted chocolate only and some using a combination of both. For
- [Steamed Treacle Sponge](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/05/steamed-treacle-sponge/) - Although I have called this a treacle sponge, which it how it is known in the UK, it actually has golden syrup, rather than dark treacle in it. It is a nice departure from baking in the oven, to steam a lovely sponge in a bowl in a saucepan of simmering water. This
- [Chocolate & Cherry Kladdkaka](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/05/chocolate-cherry-kladdkaka/) - I recently made Kladdkaka, a Swedish sticky chocolate cake, that was a big hit by all who ate it. Several others have made it too and found it very simple and so tasty. Today I decided to make it again, but this time with the addition of some glace cherries to add a different taste
- [Apple Turnovers](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/05/apple-turnovers-2/) - For apple turnovers I made an inverted puff pastry. The amount in the recipe will actually make twice as much dough as needed for 8 turnovers, so I will freeze half of the dough to use in another recipe in a couple of weeks. To make inverted puff pastry you need to make a thick
- [Chocolate Marble Loaf Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/05/chocolate-marble-loaf-cake/) - I do love a nice loaf cake and this chocolate and vanilla one, marbled as it is, whets my appetite immensely. Luckily it is easy to make and doesn't take very long, and is well worth the time and effort. Once baked the loaf cake is perfect just as it is, but some people may
- [Individual Steamed Sponges - 3 Flavours](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/06/individual-steamed-sponges-3-flavours/) - Having made a large, stove-top steamed treacle sponge the other day I thought I would try some individual one, steamed in the oven, with some different flavours too. I found a recipe on Good Housekeeping which I doubled for my purposes. It actually made slightly more batter than my 8 dariole moulds could take, so I
- [Soft & Chewy Lemon Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/06/soft-chewy-lemon-cookies/) - I found a recipe for some lovely soft and chewy lemon cookies on Averiecooks which I just had to try. With lots of lemon these seemed just ideal. The recipe is easy to make and the resultant cookies are indeed very soft and chewy and really quite delicious. I did make a minor change, using golden
- [Lemon Frosted Vanilla Pound Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/06/lemon-frosted-vanilla-pound-cake/) - This pound cake is made in a 2lb loaf tin. Flavoured with vanilla, and lemon zest, it is topped with a lovely lemon icing/frosting. The texture is dense, as with all loaf cakes, and is very similar to what in the UK is known as Madeira Cake. Although it takes a while to make, it
- [Perfect Blueberry Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/06/perfect-blueberry-muffins/) - I did a lot of research about blueberry muffins as I wanted to make sure I have a lovely light and tasty version. Many of the recipes that I saw had a heavy texture and didn't rise very much, though that was inetntional. Some rose well and were nice and light, so that is what
- [Croissants](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/06/croissants/) - I have wanted to make croissants for some time, as I love them with that lovely fluffy texture and the rich buttery taste. I looked at a number of recipes and watched quite a few videos before deciding how to proceed. I used a recipe from Paul Hollywood who is a judge on Great British Bake
- [Lemon & Cream Cheese Swiss Roll](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/06/lemon-cream-cheese-swiss-roll/) - I had long wanted to try to make a Swiss Roll and decided to do so using lemon as a flavouring with cream cheese. I used a recipe that I found on BBC Food but I adjusted the amounts of ingredients as i used a larger baking tin. I also changed the filling. The sponge for
- [Orange & Almond Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/07/orange-almond-cake/) - Today I made an Orange & Almond Cake, which is something new to me. It was suggested to me by one of my sisters. You may recall my references to a sister in Canada, Margaret also known as La La. But it was not she who made the suggestion. I also have a sister in
- [Coconut & Pineapple Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/07/coconut-pineapple-cake/) - Having made an orange and almond cake I had the idea for a similar one, but with coconut and pineapple instead. This would be a moist cake with that lovely coconut flavour with a good helping of crushed and pureed pineapple added in. Now I wondered whether I could just use the same volume of
- [Individual Minced Steak Pies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/07/individual-minced-steak-pies/) - I found a recipe of a lovely minced beef or steak pie that I wanted to try. The recipe was by Paul Hollywood on the BBC Food site. His version was called a football pie, with the top having a football pattern. I just wanted to make the pies. I also didn't have the 4
- [Amaretti - Cookies/Biscuits](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/07/amaretti-cookies-biscuits/) - Amaretti are a wonderful Italian cookie or biscuit. Almond in flavour with a crunch on the outside and a soft, chewy, centre. I looked at several recipes and they came in various guises, but all were fairly straightforward to make. I opted for a recipe on the BBC Food website, though with a couple of amendments.
- [Chocolate Crinkles & Grantham Gingerbreads - Grace & Claire](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/08/chocolate-crinkles-grantham-gingerbreads-grace-claire/) - I am back from a wonderful trip to Canada to visit family. Whilst there I did some baking with my great nieces Grace and Claire. I took my camera with me so was able to film the process. We had a lot of fun making Chocolate Crinkle Cookies and Grantham Gingerbreads. Both recipes are already
- [Chocolate Friands - with Liam](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/08/chocolate-friands-with-liam/) - {"type":"block","srcClientIds":["2352aaa3-319e-4f74-ae35-b6814e278b8c"],"srcRootClientId":""}Another bake that I did whilst in Canada was with my great-nephew Liam, who was baking for the first time. We decided to make some Chocolate Friands, a very tasty almond based cake. Friands are most widely known in Australia and New Zealand, where they use special friand tins. We couldn't get one in Canada,
- [Abbey Crunch - With Liam](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/08/abbey-crunch-with-liam/) - Continuing my Canadian holiday I did another bake with Liam, my great-nephew. This time it was Abbey Crunch biscuits/cookies. Liam's Mum had tasted these when I made them last year, and she enjoyed them very much so I thought we would make some more for her as Liam's second bake. The recipe is already on
- [Madeleines - With Grace and Claire](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/08/madeleines-with-grace-and-claire/) - For my final bake in Canada I was with Grace and Claire again, this time making some Madeleines. These lovely french delicacies are simply wonderful. The light textured sponge, with a hint of lemon is just perfect. We made two sizes, mini ones, that are really just one bite and the more usual full-sized
- [Dried Blueberry & Oat Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/08/dried-blueberry-oat-cookies/) - Well I am back from a lovely holiday in Canada, and ready to get on with more baking. Today's recipe is for some cookies with dried blueberries. I love oats as well, so they seemed an ideal addition to the blueberries to make the cookies. As well as that I decided that I needed a
- [Dried-Blueberry Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/08/dried-blueberry-muffins/) - Today I had intended to make a blue cheese and fig tart, but the temperature has reached about 30C which is far too hot to successfully make a shortcrust pastry, so I have opted for something entirely different, muffins using dried blueberries. Muffins are a very good standby recipe, so easy to make and so
- [Blue Cheese & Fig Tart](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/08/blue-cheese-fig-tart/) - I wanted to make a savoury tart last week but it was rather too warm to be making pastry. So I did it today, Blue Cheese and Fig Tart, from a recipe I saw on BBC Good Food. I originally wanted to do one with goat's cheese but couldn't find something that I really thought
- [Chocolate Banana Loaf Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/09/chocolate-banana-loaf-cake/) - Today I baked a lovely Chocolate and Banana Loaf Cake, and topped with a chocolate ganache. This is a simple recipe which I adapted, slightly, from BBC Good Food. That had banana chips on the top as well but I didn't see the need for them and am always slightly dubious about quite how hard
- [Chocolate Mint Brownies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/09/chocolate-mint-brownies/) - Today I made some wonderful brownies, with a mint filling and topped with more chocolate. These are a very rich and moist brownie with the lovely hit of mint. The recipe does take a time to make, as you must wait between each step for the brownie to cool, the fillling and then the topping
- [Boston Cream Cupcakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/09/boston-cream-cupcakes/) - Having enjoyed Boston Cream Doughnuts when I have been in Canada and the USA I wanted to make something with that taste. Not wanting to do doughnuts I thought firstly of Boston Cream Pie, but then decided on some nice simple cupcakes instead. I haven't actually had much time over the past few weeks, for
- [Snickerdoodles - A Cinnamon Sugar Cookie](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/09/snickerdoodles-a-cinnamon-sugar-cookie/) - I have never tried Snickerdoodles, and hadn't even seen them before, so I decided to make them to see what they are like. A sweet sugar cookie that is flavoured with cinnamon sugar on the outside the recipe is very basic, and easy to make. I did some research, checking various recipes and they
- [Bakewell Tart Squares(Frangipane Squares)](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/09/bakewell-tart-squaresfrangipane-squares/) - I just love Bakewell Tart, that wonderful confection that has a pastry base with a layer of raspberry jam and then topped with frangipane. It is simply delicous. I have made a couple of variations of Bakewell Tart for this blog, but today I decided that I would make a large tart that can be
- [Mandarin Friands](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/10/mandarin-friands/) - Having enjoyed Friands when I have made them previously I thought I would attempt a variation today and see how they turned out. For the variation I thought of Mandarin oranges, or Satsumas as they may be known in some places. I love mandarins, the sweet, and sometimes slightly tart, very juicy citrus fruit. They
- [Strawberry & Cream Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/10/strawberry-cream-muffins/) - I have found a wonderful recipe for my first bake in a new flat. This recipe is Strawberry & Cream Muffins, which saw on BBC Good Food. I was immediately taken with the concept and it doesn't use any oil or butter, simply double cream and eggs, with a hint of vanilla as the liquids.
- [Lazy Daisy Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/10/lazy-daisy-cake/) - Trawling through the internet a couple of weeks ago I came across something called Lazy Daisy Cake. It looked rather interesting and from what I have been able to glean dates from the 1930s or 1940s. It is popular in Canada and some parts of the USA. I had never heard of it, but I
- [Seed Cake - With Caraway Seeds](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/10/seed-cake-with-caraway-seeds/) - The Observer/Guardian have been doing a series of 20 Best Cakes, one of which was a seed cake, made with caraway seeds.

- [Hazelnut & Raspberry Friands](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/10/hazelnut-raspberry-friands/) - Friands are a favourite of mine, since I discovered them last year sometime. Usually made with ground almonds as the main base they are a delicious cake which is very popular in Australia and New Zealand in particular. For the ones I made today I varied the recipe, using hazelnuts and almonds, to give a
- [Black Treacle/Molasses Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/11/black-treacle-molasses-cookies/) - I saw a lovely sounding recipe on Joy of Baking for molasses cookies. So I thought I would try it out, but using Black Treacle instead of molasses. The reason for that is that I had black treacle, and it is very similar indeed to molasses, being made from raw cane sugar. Indeed in it much
- [Raspberry & Cream Cheese Brownies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/11/raspberry-cream-cheese-brownies/) - Having read an article in a magazine about brownies topped with cream cheese and raspberries I decided I would try it out. The magazine suggested buying a brownie mix, but I prefer to make things from scratch whenever possible. So I came up with my own interpretation. A rich, moist brownie that was to be

In the UK we do love our traditional Christmas Cake. So, although I have posted this recipe on my blog before, I am going to be making my Christmas Cake. This needs to be done in advance of
- [Cheddar Crackers](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/11/cheddar-crackers/) - I came across some great looking cheese crackers, made with Cheddar cheese. They looked so good so I wanted to make some to see if the taste was as good as the look. Having checked all over the internet I came across several sites and videos with precisely the same recipe, so I was unable
- [Homemade Mincemeat](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/11/homemade-mincemeat/) - In preparation for making mince pies, just before Christmas, I have made my own mincemeat. I actually posted this recipe on my blog two years ago, but today I have done it again, this time with a video. Some may wonder why I have posted this on a baking blog. But of course, it
- [Bourbon Biscuit Dessert](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/11/bourbon-biscuit-dessert/) - Bourbon biscuits are a favourite in the UK. They are two chocolate biscuits sandwiched together with a chocolate cream filling. I found a recipe for a dessert(he called it pudding) in Gary Rhodes' Step by Step Cooking. It was for two large bourbon biscuits, sandwiched by two layers of chocolate brownie and a layer of
- [Sultana Loaf Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/12/sultana-loaf-cake/) - I do love sultanas, they are nice and juicy and give a great texture and taste to almost any cake. This loaf cake has sultanas that have been soaked in cold tea for at least 5 hours. I have also added some mixed spice to give a wonderful additional flavour. I saw the recipe, without
- [Danish Pastries](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/12/danish-pastries/) - I have been wanting to make some Danish Pastries for quite a while, but I have put it off as the process is quite time consuming. However today I finally bit the bullet and made some. The lovely puff pastry that is so redolent of Danish pastries, in various shapes and filled with any number
- [Christmas Mince Pies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/12/christmas-mince-pies/) - As Christmas approaches our minds turn to what treats we are going to enjoy. High up on the list, in the UK at least, is always mince pies. I read, only yesterday, that supermarkets sell 370 million of them each year, with the average person eating 27. I find that average number rather high, but
- [Blueberry Upside Down Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2016/12/blueberry-upside-down-muffins/) - I saw a lovely video on Joyofbaking for Cranberry Upside Down Muffins, which looked very good indeed. I am not a lover of cranberries as much as I am of blueberries. So I thought I would try to make the same thing, but with blueberries instead. Of course I had to adjust the recipe since
- [Lemon Icebox Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/01/lemon-icebox-cookies/) - I love the idea of refrigerator, or icebox, cookies. Making dough and then just baking as many cookies as you need at the time and storing the dough in the fridge or freezer to bake later, as you need them. For mine I decided upon a lemon flavour, and tried something a little different when
- [Almond Shortbread Cookies/Bisuits](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/01/almond-shortbread-cookies-bisuits/) - Everybody likes shortbread and this recipe is really delicious. A crisp, light, crumbly shortbread with the added pleasure of the flavour and texture of ground almonds. Very easy to make and even easier to eat this is one that everyone can try. It doesn't take long either. Mine turned out very well indeed, just as
- [Rosette/Kaiser Bread Rolls](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/01/rosette-kaiser-bread-rolls/) - Today I decided to make some bread rolls. I have bought a few items from an Italian company, including a cutter with a rosette pattern, similar to a Kaiser Roll cutter. So, having eaten Kaiser rolls for years when I was in Prague I decided to make those, albeit with my rosette cutter. I also
- [Owl Butter Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/01/owl-butter-cookies/) - I found a lovely recipe on etsy blog bt Heather Baird. She used this a little gifts for people to take away after Thanksgiving dinner. They looked so cute and I thought they would be something that children would enjoy helping to make. I decided that I would give them a try too. They are a
- [Mini Carrot Cakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/01/mini-carrot-cakes/) - I love carrot cake, as it is moist, sweet and with a taste of cinnamon too. I came across a recipe on Tesco Realfood for a mini version, and only 6 of them which is ideal for me, but doubling up the recipe would make 12 for those who need more. The recipe is very easy
- [Chocolate Marshmallow Teacakes.](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/02/chocolate-marshmallow-teacakes/) - Chocolate Marshmallow Teacakes are a firm favourite in the UK. They are readily available in all supermarkets.

- [Bread Cones](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/02/bread-cones/) - Somebody suggested that I might like to make some bread cones. I hadn't really thought about it until then, but set about looking to see some. I watched a few videos and decided that they would be quite simple to make and a novel way to eat lunch. As ever, with bread, the recipe takes
- [Cherry, Lemon & Coconut Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/02/cherry-lemon-coconut-muffins/) - I saw a lovely recipe on My Favourite Pastime for a muffin with glace cherries, lemon and coconut. They looked great and I love all those ingredients, so I decided I should make them and see how they turn out. Muffins are so easy to make, just mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, the wet
- [Bread Mix - Cheese & Onion Loaf](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/03/bread-mix-cheese-onion-loaf/) - Today I decided on a slight departure from my usual baking. In the UK we can get some wonderful bread mixes to make loaves or rolls. These mixes are very simple to use and can go into a bread machine or just be mixed by hand. In most cases it is as simple as adding
- [Almond Sponge & Caramel Frosting](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/03/almond-sponge-caramel-frosting/) - I enjoyed my Almond and Coconut Sponge so much that I decided the cake recipe needed to be used again, but with a different filling and topping. Caramel, a nice thick one, seemed ideal. I also decided to make a square cake, rather than a round one, so although the cake recipe is identical I
- [Passion Fruit Curd Tarts & Lemon Curd Tarts](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/03/passion-fruit-curd-tarts-lemon-curd-tarts/) - I recently bought some Passion Fruit Curd, which was delicious, so I decided to make some myself adn see how it turned out.

- [Viennese Cookies - Sablés Viennois](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/03/viennese-cookies-sables-viennois/) - Viennese Cookies, or Sablés viennois, are a lovely buttery cookie/biscuit similar to spritz cookies. But they are piped into shapes, rather than pressed. The recipe is very simple and I have tried it a couple of times, in different guises, to see whether it affected how well the shapes were retained. In both cases the
- [Butter Tarts](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/03/butter-tarts/) - Yesterday I made Passion Fruit Curd and Lemon Curd Tarts, but I had a disaster with the video. So although I posted the recipe on this blog I couldn't post the video on Youtube. So I decided to make something else today, just to get something on Youtube. I decided upon a suggestion from my
- [Pine Nut & Sesame Seed Dunkers - Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/03/pine-nut-sesame-seed-dunkers-cookies/) - I was reading some Waitrose Magazines and came across a very enticing, and simple, recipe for Pine Nut and Sesame Seed Dunkers. Dunking, for those who don't know, is dipping a biscuit or cookie in tea or coffee. In the UK we love to dunk our biscuits, so this seemed like a great recipe to
- [Blueberry Hand Pies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/03/blueberry-hand-pies/) - I decided to make two different sized Blueberry Hand Pies, using ready rolled puff pastry, as opposed to making my own which is what I usually do. Since the filling was to be some wild blueberry conserve added to frozen blueberries the use of ready rolled puff pastry makes these a very quick and
- [Passion Fruit Curd Cupcakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/04/passion-fruit-curd-cupcakes/) - I only recently tasted Passion Fruit and really enjoyed it. So I bought some and made some curd and then used that in some tarts. However I had a problem with the video, so I couldn't put it on youtube, but it is in this blog.

They are very similar to Goosnargh biscuits, also from Lancashire. But the ratio of butter to flour in Tosset cakes is higher than in Goosnargh, so the resulting biscuits

So it is no surprise that I am making more friands, the delicious almond based cakes that are so popular in Australia and New Zealand. I think they are becoming more popular in the UK too and
- [Lemon Squares - Lemon Bars](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/04/lemon-squares-lemon-bars/) - I felt like a big lemon hit today so I set about making some Lemon Squares, or Lemon Bars as they are known it some places.

- [Lemon Posset - A Very Easy Dessert](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/04/lemon-posset-a-very-easy-dessert/) - One viewer asked if I could make something that didn't contain lots of butter. Since I don't like oil in cakes very much I decided to try a lovely old-fashioned British recipe, Posset. According to Wikipedia Posset was a British hot drink of milk curdled with wine or ale, often spiced, which was popular from

- [Caramel Slice - Squares](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/05/caramel-slice-squares/) - I was recently reading through an old recipe book that I brought back from Canada last year, 150 Delicious Squares. This book is by Jean Paré and dates back to the early 1980s. I read through the book and quite liked the look of several recipes. I also noted that almost half the recipes included

- [Cheese and Onion Pasties](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/05/cheese-and-onion-pasties/) - Today I decided to make some savoury pasties. I have a new tool that I thought would work very well for shaping the pasties. I chose cheese and onion, with potato, as the filling. So what I needed was a nice shortcrust pastry, though puff pastry would have been fine too. It is just that
- [Flapjacks - A Tasty Oat Traybake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/05/flapjacks-a-tasty-oat-traybake/) - In the UK Flapjacks are a firm favourite. They are very simple to make, and just so delicious and contain so few ingredients. Most of the ingredients are likely to be in the food cupboard of most British homes. So these are not the same as flapjacks in the USA which I believe is a
- [Passion Fruit Curd & Peach Tart](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/05/passion-fruit-curd-peach-tart/) - Having made more Passion Fruit curd I decided to make a tart using it. For that I needed shortcrust pastry and some fruit. I decided on an easy recipe and used tinned peaches.

I then took a look at Youtube and I found an episode of her 1960s TV show where she made the cake. It looked interesting so I thought that I would try it.
- [Summer Berry Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/06/summer-berry-muffins/) - As the warmer weather is now with us my thoughts turned to summer and I decided to make some muffins with a variety of summer fruits.

- [Individual Berry Pies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/06/individual-berry-pies/) - Having used frozen berries for my muffins I decided to use fresh berries for some free form pies. I wanted individual ones with a nice shortcrust pastry. Of course it would be ok to use shop bought pastry but I like to make my own, using a mixture of butter and lard as the shortening
- [Apple Shortbread Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/06/apple-shortbread-cake/) - I saw a few videos for something known as Gateau Breton. That is a French shortbread cake. I then saw one recipe from Eric Lanlard that put apple inside the cake. I thought that looked very interesting but I decided to do a slight variation on that, with caramelised apple. I love caramelised apples, particularly
- [Coconut Biscotti](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/06/coconut-biscotti/) - I just love biscotti the had, twice baked, biscuit/cookie that originated in Italy. I also love coconut and had some coconut flour that needed using. So I decided to make biscotti with it, using flaked coconut too. Usually I just use eggs, or egg whites, as the liquid element of biscotti but today I inluded
- [Peach Purée Cupcakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/06/peach-puree-cupcakes/) - Who doesn't enjoy a cupcake from time to time? Certainly I do!. So today I decided to make some.

She asked about a coconut cake, that may I could make when I visit later in the summer. So I looked around and found several loaf cakes that looked quite good. But I actually opted to, very slightly, amend a recipe on Lovefoodies. The adjustments were really more
- [Light Almond Cupcakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/07/light-almond-cupcakes/) - Today's recipe is for a cupcake. This one has a lovely almond flavour and is very light. I decided not to put buttercream or frosting on the top, as people can decide for themselves if they want that. For me the light little cake is good enough as on its' own. To make them lighter
- [Vanilla Mantecadas](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/07/vanilla-mantecadas/) - Yesterday I discovered Mantecadas, having never heard of them before. I saw some photos on Pinterest and that piqued my interest. So I started to look for some recipes and read up a little on the origin. Mantencadas seem to come in various forms and are from Spain. The ones I saw were a Mexican
- [Buttery Shortcrust Apple Turnovers](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/07/buttery-shortcrust-apple-turnovers/) - I love shortcrust pastry, especially when it's crisp, buttery and flaky. So when I saw a recipe on Food Wishes for what Chef John called Buttercrust pastry I thought I would like to try it, instead of my usual shortcrust, for some apple turnovers. I have made apple turnovers before, but that was using puff pastry.
- [Chocolate Fudge Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/07/chocolate-fudge-cake/) - Today I have a lovely recipe, from BBC Good Food, for a Chocolate Fudge Cake.

- [Cinnamon Swirl Loaf](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/08/cinnamon-swirl-loaf/) - As I am soon going over to Canada to visit my sister's family I thought I would test out my recipe for a cinnamon swirl loaf. I would usually want to add raisins as well but I am aware that my great-nieces don't like raisins in their bread so I made mine without. For the
- [Coffee & Walnut Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/08/coffee-walnut-cake/) - Though I don't like coffee and am not a lover of walnuts I decided to make a Coffee & Walnut Cake as some in my family like it very much.

- [Moose Cookies (Basic Cookie Dough)](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/09/moose-cookies-basic-cookie-dough/) - Firstly let me apologise for the length of time since my last post. This was due to a failure of my internet connection, and courtesy of lamentable service by Virgin Media to get me reconnected. What was supposed to take no more than 48 hours ended up taking more than 5 days, and there is
- [Lemon Icebox Cheescake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/08/lemon-icebox-cheescake/) - I saw a recipe for an icebox or, as we might call it, a refrigerator cheesecake. The recipe was on Cook's Country and it looked very good, so I thought I would give it a try. The only baking is of the biscuit crumb base. For flavour there is lemon juice and lemon curd, mixed into

- [Sticky Malt Loaf](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/07/sticky-malt-loaf/) - When I first started my blog about 3 years ago one of the early recipes was for a Sticky Malt Loaf. I recently had a question on my youtube channel as to whether I had ever made such a loaf, as a lady in Australia said that her Mum loved 'Soreen Malt Loaf'. Well this
- [Raspberry Scones](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/09/raspberry-scones/) - While I was visiting family in Canada I made some raspberry scones for my niece as they are a particular favourite of hers. These scones are not quite how we know scones in the UK, but the texture is very similar, just the shape is rather different. That said the batter for these is rather
- [Amish Friendship Bread](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/09/amish-friendship-bread/) - It was suggested to me that I might like to try to make Amish Friendship Bread. I hadn't heard of it so I did a little reading. It seems that the particular recipe, or variations of it, are not really what Amish people really eat. Rather, it is the process of making a starter dough
- [Feta Cheese & Chive Scones](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/09/feta-cheese-chive-scones/) - Now that my internet is back to normal, or at least I hope it is, I can post again.

I also decided, at the last minute
- [White Pullman Loaf](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/10/white-pullman-loaf/) - I only recently came across pullman loaf tins and really like the idea of these for making bread for sandwiches. The tins tend to be about 4 inches by 4 inches, so smaller than the sandwich loaves in the shops but still very good. While I was in Canada on holiday I made a cinnamon
- [Raspberry Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/10/raspberry-muffins/) - I had some frozen raspberries in the freezer so I decided that today I would use them to make some muffins.

For the marzipan a chocolate and almond

That is a rich, silky smooth dessert made with cream and sugar. I then decided that instead of serving in glasses, with little biscuits, I would make tartlet cases and put the posset in those for serving. The
- [No Knead Rustic Bread](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/11/no-knead-rustic-bread/) - Home made bread is always a treat, even if it sometimes takes a lot of work. The aroma of baking bread is hard to beat. But it is great to be able to make some bread with very little effort, even if it does take a while. That is why a no knead recipe is

- [Crispy Chocolate Sandwich Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/11/crispy-chocolate-sandwich-cookies/) - Today I made some wonderfully crispy biscuits and sandwiched them together with a chocolate ganache.

- [Sultana Scones](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/11/sultana-scones/) - Scones are one of my favorites, especially with sultanas or raisins in them. So I decided to make some. The texture of the English style of scone is different to the North American one, it is less cake-line, and should be light and fluffy and slightly crumbly as well. Best eaten fresh they can be

- [Cherry Madeira Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2017/12/cherry-madeira-cake/) - I decided to make a cake with Morello glace cherries in. I have done a similar cake before a few years back.

- [Coconut & Jam Sponge Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2018/01/coconut-jam-sponge-cake/) - Coconut and Jam Sponge is an easy cake to make, and tastes so good. This particular one can be cut into squares and enjoyed just like that, or it can be cut into larger pieces and served with custard as a dessert.

- [Sausage Plait](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2018/02/sausage-plait/) - Having started my little series on making pastry I decided to use the first batch, rough puff pastry, to make a sausage plait.

- [Cut Out Sugar Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2018/02/cut-out-sugar-cookies/) - I do enjoy biscuits of almost any type. Buttery ones are high on the list of favourites, so shortbread, butter cookies and sugar cookies are all near the top.

However I did like the look of them, as they have lots of very good ingredients, as well as not
- [Easy Rye Crackers](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2018/08/easy-rye-crackers/) - I saw a very nice recipe for some simple crackers on Titli Nihaan's The Bread Kitchen. These were rye crackers and I thought I would try them out. They are a very thin cracker, that are crisp and crunchy, with a lovely snap to them when you break them.

- [Brownie Pie](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2018/07/brownie-pie/) - I got this idea for a Brownie Pie from a website that sells cake pans. Basically the pie is a brownie base that is covered with some chocolate custard(or pudding in the USA). I tried the recipe on that site and the resultant 'pudding' was distastrous, to say the least.

- [S'mores Pie](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2018/08/smores-pie/) - I am just back from my holiday in Canada. While I was there I had the opportunity to make a couple of videos with Grace and Claire again. The first of these is this recipe for a S'mores pie which is a favourite of Grace.

I have seen several recipes for these slices and
- [Ring Doughnuts](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2018/03/ring-doughnuts/) - I wanted to make some doughnuts. So the other day I made up a small batch of dough I made two jam doughnuts.

I was intrigued and, happily, Felicity had tried recipes from several sources before arriving at what she called the perfect version. So
- [Rhubarb Upside Down Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/06/rhubarb-upside-down-cake/) - I was asked by Patricia, one of my Youtube viewers, if I could do a recipe that uses rhubarb. So I decided upon an upside down cake using rhubarb. Rhubarb is usually available in my local supermarket, but especially so at this time of year. Lots of keen gardeners in the UK grow rhubarb too,
- [Apple Roll Cookies/Apple Newtons](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/06/apple-roll-cookies-apple-newtons/) - A while back I made a particular favourite of mine, Fig Rolls, also known as Fig Newtons. Today I decided to make an apple version of those cookies. The important thing in this particular recipe was to ensure that the apples didn't release too much juice into the cookie dough during baking. So I stewed
- [Orange & Caramel Chocolate Chip Friands.](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/06/orange-caramel-chocolate-chip-friands/) - I recently bought a large bag of Callebaut Gold which are white chocolate chips which are made with caramelised milk added. This makes the chips taste of a lovely smooth caramel as well and the rich white chocolate. So today I decided that I would make my favourite friands, which are orange flavoured, and drop
- [Coconut Tarts](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/06/coconut-tarts/) - I do love coconut and have made quite a few recipes that include it, but today's recipe makes coconut the star. These individual coconut tarts are made in small, fluted, moulds. But they could equally well be made in a bun tin. In that case the pastry would have a wider base, but be shallower
- [Malted Caramel Chocolate Chip Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/07/malted-caramel-chocolate-chip-muffins/) - I wanted to make some muffins today and although I had milk, dark and white chocolate chips I decided I would make mine with the lovely caramel chocolate chips that I recently bought. Those are simply delicious and I thought they would work so well in a muffin. To add some additional flavour too I
- [Strawberry Cream Cheese Tarts](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/07/strawberry-cream-cheese-tarts/) - I saw a lovely recipe on elmundoeats for Strawberry Cheese Tarts and I thought i would like to make them. But rather than push pastry into tart tins I wanted to experiment with making some little cups by laying discs of pastry on an upturned muffin tray. So that is what I did for my version.
- [Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/07/lemon-drizzle-loaf-cake/) - Lemon drizzle cake is such a lovely treat. This loaf cake version is light and airy, yet moist too as it has lemon drizzled over the top to soak in and give a wonderful flavour. The key to the recipe is really the mixing of the ingredients for the cake. It is essential to get
- [Cheesy Oatcakes - Gluten Free](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/07/cheesy-oatcakes-gluten-free/) - I do like oatcakes, a fairly plain and gluten free biscuit. They are very easy to make and go so well with cheese and pickle etc. So I decided to make some, but to add a little additional flavour too as they can be a little bland. So the addition of some grated parmesan cheese
- [Scotch Pasty](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/07/scotch-pasty/) - Scotch Pasty is something that I hadn’t tried before. In fact I hadn’t even heard of Scotch Pasty until a YouTube viewer mentioned it. So I did a bit of searching on the internet and found a recipe from HERE. Basically the recipe is for scone like mixture that is divided into four parts and
- [Almond Croissants](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/08/almond-croissants/) - I do love croissants, so it was inevitable that at some time I would make Almond Croissants. And so it came to pass! These rich, buttery, croissants are filled with a tube of almond paste to add some delicious extra flavour and some new texture too. The recipe, made entirely from scratch, is time consuming
- [Baguette Style Bread Sticks](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/08/baguette-style-bread-sticks/) - I wanted to make some large bread rolls, shaped like a French Baguette but with a slightly different crust and texture. I wanted the crust to be hard when baked but to soften a little after cooling. Although I put my ‘baguettes’ in a small tray to bake they will bake perfectly well just on
- [Chocolate Sponge & Chocolate Ganache](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/08/chocolate-sponge-chocolate-ganache/) - As I am in Canada, and it is my great-niece Grace’s birthday I decided to make her a simple chocolate cake, which is one of her favourites. For the cake I decided to use a recipe from Mary Berry, using the ‘all in one’ method. This is where are the ingredients are tipped into the
- [Mini Scones with Chocolate Chips](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/08/mini-scones-with-chocolate-chips/) - Having bought a new pan in Canada I just had to make some mini scones in it. Although the pan is for these scones they can also be made by putting them onto a parchment lined baking tray to bake as usual. The scones are shaped in triangles, which is more usual in North America
- [Chewy Oatmeal & Raisin Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/08/chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies/) - With temperatures in the UK at 32C(90F) for the past couple of days I wanted to bake something that didn't take too long in the oven, so that I didn't heat up the flat too much. In the event even though these cookies bake in 10 minutes the flat still hit 34C and took quite
- [Nantes Cakes - Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/09/nantes-cakes-cookies/) - I recently acquired a very good book about the food that Claude Monet, the artist, used to like to eat. It included a lot of recipes of that food and also included lots of information and also photos of some of his paintings. Coincidentally shortly after I bought the book one of my subscribers on
- [Gâteau Nantais - Nantes Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/09/gateau-nantais-nantes-cake/) - In my last post I made Monet's Nantes Cakes, which were are almond based biscuit or cookie. But there is actually an almond based cake which originates in Nantes and that is known as Gâteau Nantais or Nantes Cake in English. I thought that I would made this cake as, from reading several recipes and
- [Coconut & Chocolate Muffins](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/09/coconut-chocolate-muffins/) - Who doesn't love chocolate muffins, often with chocolate chips too. I certainly do enjoy them. So today I decided I would make some, but with the addition of some coconut flour and using coconut milk instead of buttermilk to give a different flavour. As always with muffins these are very easy to make and take
- [Pepparkakor - Swedish Ginger Snaps](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/09/pepparkakor-swedish-ginger-snaps/) - Having recently bought a vacuum sealing machine so that I can use it to store food for longer and more efficiently I wanted to make some biscuits/cookies and then use the machine to pack some and see how long they will store. So for that I decided to make Pepparkakor, Swedish Ginger Snaps. In Sweden
- [Jam Roly Poly - School Dinner Memories](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/10/jam-roly-poly-school-dinner-memories/) - As another in an occasional series of recipes I have Jam Roly Poly. This was a school dinner favourite when I was a youngster. Served with custard it was something everybody looked forward too. This is a steamed suet pudding, which when made at school would probably have been wrapped tightly in foil and steamed
- [Pumpkin Loaf Cake & Cream Cheese Frosting](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/10/pumpkin-loaf-cake-cream-cheese-frosting/) - I have never eaten pumpkin cake, though I have tried pumpkin pie a few years back. The pie was good but I prefer something less mushy so I decided that I would make a cake, or a loaf cake using pumpkin puree. In the end I decided on a pumpkin loaf cake or, as some
- [Digestive Biscuits](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/10/digestive-biscuits/) - Digestive Biscuits(cookies) are a perennial favourite in the UK. I don't know anybody who doesn't like them. So I thought I would make a version of them which, although not exactly the same certainly come close to what can be bought in the shops, so far as taste is concerned. The texture of the home-made
- [Lemony Hot Milk Cake](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/10/lemony-hot-milk-cake/) - Over the weekend I made some Cheddar cheese, which needed whole milk. I had some of that milk left over so I needed a recipe to use it up. I did a little searching and found a very nice recipe on giallozafferano.com for a hot milk cake flavoured with some lemon zest. It only needed 200ml
- [Mini Panettone](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/10/mini-panettone/) - I decided to make a start on some recipes that would be good for Christmas. First up is mini panettone. I already have a recipe on the blog for Panettone, which worked very well. But mini versions are very good too, and ideal for one person. With mixed fruit and peel they are perfect for
- [Date Tarts - Cape Breton Pork Pies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/11/date-tarts-cape-breton-pork-pies/) - I recently came across a very lovely treat, Cape Breton Pork Pies. These are actually a sweet little date tart. So the name Pork Pies is a misnomer. The recipe originates from Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Canada. These little delights seem be eaten at Christmas time. That is ideal for my purposes as I
- [Panforte - An Italian Christmas Favourite](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/11/panforte-an-italian-christmas-favourite/) - One of my Youtube subscribers asked me if I had ever made Panforte. The simple answer was no. In fact I hadn't really heard of Panforte so I looked it up and watched a few videos. Panforte is a type of dense, chewy, cake which is made with nuts, normally almonds and candied peel. There
- [Copper of Naples - Rame di Napoli Chocolate Cakes](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/11/copper-of-naples-rame-di-napoli-chocolate-cakes/) - I discovered a lovely little cake(or very soft cookie) which in Italian is Rame di Napoli. In English Copper of Naples. These little cakes which actually probably originate from Sicily when Sicily and Naples were united in the 19th century. They are usually enjoyed at Halloween, but for me I think they are perfect at
- [Deep Filled Mince Pies - For Christmas](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/11/deep-filled-mince-pies-for-christmas/) - As Christmas approached, with some rapidity, minds turn evermore to what needs to be baked. Mince pies are always fairly close to the top of the list. Of course they are readily available in the UK in all the supermarkets. In fact it is claimed that 300 million are eaten in the UK over Christmas
- [Czech Christmas Bread -Vánočka](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/12/czech-christmas-bread-vanocka/) - Continuing with recipes for Christmas, today I have Vánočka which is a Czech Christmas Bread. The Czechs, in common with many people in Central and Eastern Europe, celebrate Christmas on 24th December and this bread is served for breakfast in many homes. It is a traditional bread made with an enriched dough and flavoured with
- [Lemon Amaretti Biscuits/Cookies](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2019/12/lemon-amaretti-biscuits-cookies/) - After a feast of rich foods for Christmas it is time for something a little lighter, I am sure. To that end I decided to make some amaretti biscuits, which I have done before, but this time I wanted to flavour them with lemon. Amaretti are a delicious biscuit, nice and chewy and simply made
- [Gluten-Free Chocolate Brownies with Hazelnuts](https://geoffsbakingblog.com/2020/01/gluten-free-chocolate-brownies-with-hazelnuts/) - I don't often eat brownies but I do like them very much as an occasional treat. When I saw a recipe for a gluten-free version in The Guardian I decided to give it a try. That recipe suggests walnuts where I decided upon hazelnuts. But you can use any chopped nuts, dried fruits or chopped up
