Lemon cupcakes

Spring is finally here and I couldn't be happier, the cold weather was really starting to bring me down. So much so that I haven't posted on my blog since September! I thought I'd come back with something delicious and fresh and what could be better than lemon. The lemon flavour always reminds me of the sun so it was definitely a must have for todays lovely weather.

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.
