This week's was a classic and my favourite

Victoria Sponge

Here are a few tips for getting the perfect sponge....

🍓Make sure your butter is "squidgable" if you squeeze it lightly it would hold an imprint. Spreads are actually the best texture for a cake just not the best flavour

🍓Use the right size tin

🍓Cook at 170c most ovens 180c is on the hot side 🔥

🍓Set a timer and beat for 1 minute

If you would like the recipe drop me a comment 👇 bellow

Inspired by the constant chanting of

"5 Currant Buns in a Bacon Shop"

Big and round with a cherry on the top 🍒

They scored a 9.5/10

Sticky, sweet, soft and juicy

Blessed Doughnuts

This was actually from a few weeks ago, with half term I have been so busy I haven't had time to do the voice over 🤣 looking at them now makes me want to get the fryer out again

Absolutely delicious 9/10 I think they deserved a 10/10 but maybe I am biased......

I choose raspberry jam for the filling. What would you put in yours? Strawberry Jam? Custard? Nutella??

This is a real help to me when my brain is scrambled 🍳

Having the items broken down into sections

🥦 Fresh
❄️Chill
🥫Dry
🧻Other

means you don't find yourself in the freezer aisles having forgotten the bread at the other end of the supermarket ❄️🍞

Full credit to lovely Katey who taught me this list hack 🛒

🍫✨ BLESSED BROWNIES ✨🍫

This week’s feature went down an absolute treat with my church mum group 🙌🤎
Ultra gooey, rich, chocolatey brownies with that dreamy crackly top 😍

My TOP brownie tips 👇
🤎 Use a mix of caster sugar + brown sugar for the perfect texture
🥚 Beat your eggs for 4–5 minutes until thick and pale — this is the secret to that shiny crackle top ✨
🍫 Keep your chocolate chunks CHUNKY so they stay melty and gooey instead of disappearing into the batter 😋

The verdict from the mums? 👀
Let’s just say there weren’t many crumbs left 😂

Would you try these?
Comment “RECIPE” below and I’ll send it over 📩🍫
