Lemon & Dark Chocolate Brownies!

I love baking with lemon as it gives the bake just a light tangy taste and this bake was just lovely.


The brownie is made of three layers - the first is the chocolate shortbread base baked out of eggs, flour, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, butter and sugar. The second is the lemon icing mixed out of icing sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and butter and spread on top of the chocolate base. The last layer is just more melted chocolate with a bit of butter to give a glaze to finish.

These brownies were a hit and finished in one day at the Office!

Banana Date Cake with Honey Walnut Glaze!

The Husband and I both love bananas and honey, so a cake that has both ingredients sounds like a good idea.


This lovely cake is baked out of butter, eggs, self-raising flour, bananas, light muscovado sugar, ground cinnamon, dates, honey and chopped walnut and then topped with a honey butter walnut frosting!

The cake was finished in two days at the Office.

Raspberry & Dark Chocolate Brownies!

I know raspberries are no longer in season but last weekend, this seemed to be an ideal easy bake for a very jet-lagged me.

These brownies are baked out of chopped dark chocolate, butter, caster sugar, eggs, plain flour, raspberries and chopped white chocolate, which is how it gets the 'double chocolate' name!

The Husband has pronounced the brownie as 'pretty good'!
