This date and cardamom cake is our take on the Waitrose date, toffee and cardamom cake and I’ve got to say, it is goooooooodd. Kind of like a mix between sticky toffee pudding and a cake. Not too faffy either and uses pretty much all ingredients we have in the house all the time. Which is great, because it looks and tastes impressive without actually requiring much effort.

I always think it’s the simplest recipes which benefit most from really good quality ingredients to become something truly special. We picked up some of our new stoneground plain flour and, to put it to the test, I made this Victoria sponge. The unbleached flour gives the sponge a delicious golden hue. It rose beautifully and has a gorgeous flavour. Simple, but also infinitely special. Continue reading Classic Victoria Sponge
This pear and chocolate cake is just what I have been craving. It doesn’t take long to make and is a lovely dinner party special or just as a random week night treat when you need a pick me up.

I made this cake as a dessert when we had guests over and it was an absolute hit. I had never tried vegan baking before so I was a bit hesitant over whether it would all work but it did. Due to the amount of fruit in this plant based chocolate cake I feel like it can even be called healthy too ;). Even better, most of the ingredients are available from our shop plastic free! It is a bit faffy and perhaps not the most elegant cake but well worth the effort for the taste.
