Marble whoppie pies

 It's been a manic few months for me, my mood has been pretty low so I've been away from the kitchen for quite a while. However I'm currently off work as it's the Easter holiday so I finally got back in the kitchen. my housemates were out so I jammed up the music, put on my apron and got cooking. It's funny but once I was in the zone everything just came back to me naturally, my mind abuzz with new recipes and flavour combinations. Two hours later I stood back and saw my creation, marble whoppie pies. A chocolate and vanilla sponge, filled with a chocolate and vanilla buttercream, two classics in one.

Banana, walnut and chocolate chip bread

When you invite someone over for a nice cup of tea it's always nice to have something sweet to offer them. One of my favourite tea time treats is Banana bread. It's sweet but not sweet enough to make your teeth hurt, and has a lovely moist texture. Place it in the centre of you table with a bread knife and let your guests help themselves. 

Mud Pie

This recipe was one of the first that I ever baked on my own and has become a family favourite since. It's moist and gooey but the biscuit base gives it that crunch. The idea for this pie came after I became obsessed with American baking styles a few years back, their flavour combinations are much more exciting than the UK and this rich dessert is a good example. 

Cinnamon bun cake

 

I love cake and I love cinnamon buns, so it was obvious that one day I would combine the two and come up with this tasty treat.

Breakfast can sometimes be boring, but on special occasions it's nice to spice things up. This is why I love this cinnamon cake, it's sweet and delicious. Perfect for not only breakfast but lunch, dinner, supper and all things in between. 

My family loved it, and it was almost gone by the end of the day.
