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…
Read More...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…
Read More...Chocolate, Coconut and Berry Cake for two
It didn’t take me long to get into the Valentine’s Day spirit with this cute cake for two. With only less than two weeks away, it’s definitely not too early to start thinking about what you’re going to surprise your loved one with. Perhaps it’s your significant other or your best friend, whoever your 2015 Valentine is, this cake was created to be enjoyed with that someone special. Rich in…
Read More...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…
Read More...Baked Double Chocolate & Banana Chunk Brownies
Oh gosh, I have already made 2 batches of these brownies in two days. I am warning you – these are extremely addictive! It was a chilly day in Melbourne when I created this recipe, and I wanted to indulge in something warm, chocolaty and gooey, and success! There is nothing sweeter than taking the first bite into the soft brownie centre filled with chunks of baked banana and chocolate as…
Read More...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…
Read More...Chocolate & Baobab Cream Slice
I know what you’re thinking; what is Baobab cream? Firstly, Baobab is an African super food that has recently launched in Australia by the awesome people at Rawsome Foods. I was shocked when I learnt that Baobab has DOUBLE the antioxidants of Acai Berry and DOUBLE the calcium of milk. Needless to say, I was more than intrigued to taste this super food and it definitely did not disappoint with…
Read More...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…
Read More...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…
Read More...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…
Read More...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,…
Read More...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…
