There’s nothing quite like the autumnal flavours of a huge toffee apple. I, however, find them stupidly difficult to eat, so I made this Gluten Free Apple Cake with Toffee Frosting for slightly easier consumption and something perfect to share (oh and I reckon tastier…!) Enjoy bakers! Ingredients for Gluten Free Apple Cake with Toffee […]

Purple Fruit Loaves
July 7, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Free From, Gluten Free, Loaf
This gorgeous weather has me craving berries, and the shops are full of the purple variety (blueberries/blackberries etc…) so, I thought I’d stick them in a bake and simply call them ‘Purple Fruit Loaves’. This is a gluten free recipe, but if you aren’t gluten free, you can substitute the gluten free oats and flour […]
Gluten Free Raspberry and Walnut Cake
April 4, 2016 by bright-admin - in Cake, Free From, Gluten Free
The longer, slightly warmer days have got me all ‘Spring-like’ so I thought it time for a Spring inspired bake – My Gluten Free Raspberry and Walnut Cake with a cheeky lemon drizzle. I’m back off tour for a week and wanted to make something that I could share around. My Dad was popping over […]
Chocolate Orange Cake
March 3, 2016 by bright-admin - in Cake, Dessert, Indulgent
IT’S EASTER – and what better excuse do you need to make this delicious Chocolate Orange Cake. Lent, for me, usually revolves around giving up chocolate, so I always fancy something indulgent and chocolatey as an Easter Sunday reward. So here it is, simple as that – My Chocolate Orange Reward Cake. Ingredients for Chocolate […]
Vegan Cranberry & Pecan Upside Down Cakes
December 12, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Christmas, Cupcake, Dessert, Free From, Healthy Alternative, Muffin, Vegan
These Vegan Cranberry & Pecan Upside Down Cakes are not only for the Vegan crowd. I wanted to make something that I could serve at a dinner party (or any party for that matter) and no one would know whether it was vegan/healthy/indulgent/whatever – a crowd pleaser, something that would go down well with everyone, […]
‘Lighter’ Blueberry Yogurt Cheesecake
August 8, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Dessert, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative
Everyone loves cheesecake, right? At least everyone I know loves cheesecake. I’m surrounded by cheesecake fiends. However, I’m not a fan of the MASSIVE calorie/sugar/fat content. I needed something that resembled a cheesecake that I could have half of and not feel toooo guilty. Nothing in the shops was inspiring me, so I made my […]
Coffee & Chocolate Mini Loaves
September 9, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Indulgent, Loaf, Traybake
My boyfriend’s Dad, Ian, is a coffee fiend…and I don’t think he would mind me saying that. So trips back to see his parents in Milton Keynes often inspire some baking. Therefore these, Coffee & Chocolate Mini Loaves, are for Ian. The man who helps with my blog, assists me in anything technical and plies […]
Mini Victoria Sponge Cakes
February 2, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Cupcake, Dessert, Indulgent, Valentines
It’s still feeling summer-y and it’s also my Grandad’s birthday. My Grandad is notoriously picky when it comes to food, he likes simple flavours and nothing too far from the ‘ordinary’. My vegan/gluten/nut free coconut and lime energy balls would not be up his street, but who doesn’t like a classic Victoria sponge? To be […]
Blackberry & Yogurt Spelt Cake with a White Choc Drizzle
May 5, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Dessert, Indulgent
Yet another birthday got me baking, this time my Dad. This Blackberry & Yogurt Spelt Cake with a White Choc Drizzle isn’t necessarily the first thing one might think of for a birthday, but my Dad always likes something a little different. He’s not one for a big chocolate mess or a creamy vanilla bomb, […]
Maple Syrup Carrot Cake
April 4, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Indulgent
It was my brother’s girlfriend, Angela’s, birthday and I wanted to make her a cake. I know Carrot Cake is her fave and I thought, what with Easter coming up, it might be quite apt. Not one for being too traditional, I wanted to put a little bit of a spin on it. So was […]
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cake
March 3, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Indulgent
My little brother, Tom, recently moved into a new flat. Instead of the traditional plant pot, I thought I’d bake him a house warming gift. When I suggested this to him, without a moments hesitation he said ‘I’d like a Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cake’. This, coming from my bother who takes at least a […]
Blondies With Hot Fudge Sauce (For Bravo)
January 1, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Brownie, Cake, Indulgent, Traybake
I caved. I’ve been so good this January, but I wanted a treat and, I say, if you’re gonna go bad, go really bad. So here are my (really bad but really good) Blondies With Hot Fudge Sauce. In honesty, I added the hot fudge sauce because I had lots of fudge left over from […]
Christmas Celebration Cake
December 12, 2014 by bright-admin - in Cake, Christmas, Dessert
Just a simple Christmas Celebration Cake. My birthday is very close to Christmas so I always have a joint birthday/Christmas party, a great excuse for all my favourite people to get together and, of course, I always bake. So, a short intro, but there’s a lot to this recipe. Here it is, the Christmas Celebration […]
Christmas Scones with Brandy Butter – Wholemeal
December 12, 2014 by bright-admin - in Cake, Christmas, Dessert, Healthy Alternative
Oh Christmas scones. Beautiful lovely Christmas Scones. If you’re a follower of my blog you might remember how much I love a scone. So as its Christmas, I thought I’d make a ‘Christmas’ scone, but one that I wouldn’t feel so bad eating, hence the wholemeal flour. Although if you’re of the ‘who cares, it’s […]
Traditional Bonfire Night Parkin (Wholemeal)
November 11, 2014 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Halloween, Indulgent, Traybake
Traditional Bonfire Night Parkin is a customary bake from Lancashire to celebrate/commiserate (however you want to look at it) Guy Fawkes’ failed attempt at blowing up the houses of parliament – Guy Fawkes was from Lancashire. It’s traditionally eaten on the 5th Nov while watching fireworks. Also, to me, this is the very beginning of […]
