Banana & Chocolate Cake

So it’s no secret that I LOVE cake. I will use any excuse for cake, and when I know something is only sweetened with bananas and dates, that’s all the convincing I need before I delve in and devour the entire thing. I’m not saying you…

Spiced Apple Muffins

I can never get enough of apples. They are so sweetly delicious on their own – and even better in dessert. Last week I felt like something fruity, soft and spongy – so I created these Clean Spiced Apple Muffins. A great one for spring – and even better to bring to your friend’s dinner party (I will have one of these over a TimTam, thank you). As you bite…

Christmas Hedgehog Log

Each year my family makes a variety of Christmas desserts that are usually devoured within 48 hours of completion; this includes a very famous marshmallow log & chocolate hedgehog Christmas tree. Inspired by both, I created a clean Christmas Hedgehog Slice that would be devoured just as quickly as the sugary kind, and it was a big success! Guilt free thick chocolate mixed with almonds and walnuts for a biscuit…

Christmas Fruit Slice

Ah, it’s that time of year again… boozy 3-course dinners followed by rich desserts and an even bigger hang over the next day. It’s difficult to stay on track during the silly season, so I’ve created weekly delicious, healthy treats for the lead up to Christmas – this yummy Christmas Fruit Slice the first of the bunch. For anyone who eats a little too much fruit cake/fruit slice during the…

Strawberry & Vanilla Slice

Ah, summer fruits, how I have missed you so. Although I am very aware that I am not in the presence of the sunny season in Melbourne just yet, I wanted to create something fruity and delicious to serve after a hearty BBQ or a treat to enjoy while laying in the sun. These Strawberry & Vanilla Slices have a moist, spongy texture enhanced by the smooth strawberry cream. Sweetened by my favourite ingredient, rice…

Chocolate & Blueberry Love Cake

I made this gorgeous Chocolate & Blueberry Love Cake for my best friend’s 23rd birthday. As we are both entering the second week of the Kayla Itsines challenge (which we are both absolutely loving and highly recommend) I thought it was only suitable to bake something special for the occasion without breaking our healthy diet. This cake is moist, sweet and full of chocolaty goodness. I also made this batter…

Raw Chocolate Mousse & Peanut Butter Cakes

Oh goodness. Life has unfortunately taken over these past few weeks so I apologise for my lack of yummy recipes, however my newest creation will make up for it! There’s really no better team than chocolate & peanut butter. One of my favourite all time recipes is Chocolate & Peanut Butter Bars (in the ‘Recipes’ page) so to combine lush chocolate mousse over a delicious peanut butter base is quite…

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

These images were quite a struggle to take. Firstly, I made 2 batches of these mint chocolate cookie dough balls and they disappeared in record time before I had a chance to style them beautifully for the blog. Once my sister and my friend and I got our hands on these, it was safe to say we weren’t going to stop until not even one was left visible on the…

Double Choc Orange Cupcakes

There’s nothing I love more than the smell of summer. It may be the final day of winter here in Melbourne – but I have been waiting eagerly for the warmer season to be upon us (thanks to small teases of sunshine in the city) and wanted to express my excitement with a fruity twist to a delicious little treat. These gorgeous cupcakes not only provide a double chocolate hit,…

Chia, Banana & Walnut Loaf with Banana Cream

There’s always an excuse for cake. But one with chia seeds, banana and walnuts? Well gee, you could just eat it whole and call it a day. With great nutritional benefits, there’s nothing to feel guilty about when consuming this moist loaf. Combined with the natural sweetness from bananas, the team of flavours work wonderfully together with crunchy chia seeds mixed through the batter for the ideal ‘banana bread’ substitution….

Chocolate Lamington Cake Pops

Cake pops seem to be the new craze – and I can see why. A small, appropriate serving of cake (if you stop at one, that is) deliciously decorated with an array of colourful and creative ingredients. There’s nothing not to love about these tiny pops of cake. Lamington cake is one of my favourites, and when I was creating this recipe I came up with the idea to drizzle…

Raspberry Jam Donuts

There’s nothing more delicious than taking the first bite into a warm, sugar-coated jam donut. As your teeth bite into the soft centre, your tongue is delighted with a sweet, berry taste and suddenly the donut becomes a whole lot better. I mean really, who doesn’t love donuts?! So many of my childhood memories are eating mini cinnamon donuts at Donut King; although I have barely touched them through my…
