Bakewell Tart
I adore Bakewell Tart and go out of my way to hunt a good one down. My
absolute favourite outside of Bakewell itself is from Malton Relish. When Sophie, my good friend and owner of Malton Relish comes to visit she brings some up to Skye especially for us!
But as I am now so far away from my favourite Bakewell Tart I thought I had just better make my own. And as I am also and avid lover of marzipan, I supercharged the frangipani with some extra marzipan! So below is my version of Bakewell Tart.

Cherry and Almond Bundt Cake

Chocolate and Vanilla Marble Loaf Cake
Chocolate and Vanilla Marble Loaf Cake
Inspired by the Mary Berry book – Simple Cakes this loaf cake is lovely as it is or you can add subtle little twists. My first impression was that it would be lovely to be a Chocolate Orange sponge marbled with a Vanilla sponge. To do that I would add the zest of half an orange to the chocolate half of the mix and substitute the hot water for orange juice. Either way it’s a lovely fun sponge to bake.
