Persian Love Cake is a soft and dense cake that originates in Iran. Legend has it that this cake was invented by young woman in love with a Persian Prince. To try and win his affection, she baked him this magical Persian Love Cake. Whether it worked or not is unknown, but the good news is the recipe was recorded for us to make and enjoy forever more!Rose water is not my usually favourite flavour - I tend to find it too perfume-like in most recipes. So instead of using rose water in the cake, I used Lancewood's Turkish...

Sponsored Have you ever tasted a soufflé? These gorgeously puffy little cakes are slightly crisp on the outside and light and mousse-like on the inside. They can be sweet or savoury, and are made by folding whipped egg whites and a flavour component (e.g. fruit pulp, melted chocolate, cheese etc) into a custard-like base.

I was so pleased with the flavour and thought it looked really striking too. Despite technically being a "no-bake" cheesecake, I find that baking the crust for a few minutes really amps up the toasty, biscuity flavour of the cheesecake. This combined with a creamy, almost...

Summer is almost over but there's still time to enjoy a fresh, fruity dessert like this one! This Mango and Yoghurt pudding is incredibly easy to make, but is an absolute showstopper too. So whether you enjoy it as a weeknight treat or to end of a braai with friends, it will surely be a hit! The layers are made up of Lancewood Double Cream Yoghurt (a staple I always have in my fridge!), cream, fresh mango and soft brown sugar. Adding the cream to the yoghurt makes it that much more rich and decadent, but if you're in...
