My Chocolate Mug Cake is just the thing for those evenings when a simple, sweet treat is needed. However, a word of warning; it is dangerously easy and fast to make (and even easier to eat). Take a look at the variations below the main recipes ...

This Pumpkin Loaf with Maple Buttercream is an easy to make loaf with a lovely moist crumb. Any time you’re cooking with pumpkin it’s very worthwhile to cook extra to make this cake.

Apple Crumble Cake
We're right on the cusp of shifting from winter to new season summer produce. Every year, I find it's about now that the once crisp, bursting with flavour apples I've been buying are just not doing it for me. Some just don't have the flavour, others are floury and a bit gross. But I never throw them, I just re-invent them like I've done here with this Apple Crumble Cake. Truth is, once cooked and ...
Pear and Ginger Yoghurt Cake
This healthy yoghurt cake has long been a go-to cake of mine. Like all of my recipes, it's evolved over the years (from a high sugar, refined flour cake) - I've always loved the nice moist crumb yoghurt cakes produce. I've been keeping this recipe aside for a special occasion and with Mother's Day coming up, here we have it. Seeing as the weather has cooled off a bit, I thought I'd make it with ...
Self Saucing Ginger Puddings
I love food traditions! However try as I will, I really struggle with eating Christmas pudding. I love a good dessert on special occasions, but the pud leaves me zapped of energy, unable to focus and mentally flat. Not the nicest way to end Christmas festivities! So this week I thought I'd share how I offset a spike in blood sugar with 180 Superfood Protein blend, whilst still enjoying, in my ...

Healthy Lamingtons
What better way to celebrate being Australian than with healthy lamingtons? I'm really not a fan of traditional lamingtons - probably because I like a sweet with some substance. So when I set out to create a healthy lamington it really was rather simple because I already have two basic cake recipes that I just love the texture off. So I've put this recipe together with several options. I've made ...
Easy, Healthy Cake Recipe (with lots of flavour variations)
During school holidays, I tend to bake a few more nut based recipes. This is an easy, healthy cake recipe that I just keep coming back to - one because it is so delicious and two because it is so versatile (vanilla one day, citrus or chocolate the next).
