Cakes & Cupcakes, Recipes / 10.01.2023

The first time I tasted a madeleine, I couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. I found it to be rather dry and bland, a little like on over-baked cupcake. A few years later when next I tasted a madeleine, it was a revelation! It was crispy on the edges and light and fluffy on the inside, with just a hint of lemon flavour. Before I knew it I had devoured 5 of them!I now know that the deliciousness of a madeleine depends on 1) having a light and airy batter and 2) being served very, very fresh –...

Gingerbread is one of those flavours that is synonymous with Christmas, and it also happens to be one of my favourite flavours to bake with!

I know these Cheat's Mille Feuille look incredibly fancy, but trust me they are sooo easy to make! I used phyllo pastry (instead of the traditional puff pastry) then filled them with a simple but delicious cream cheese filling and added some fresh fruit. The result is a stunning but surprisingly light dessert! Sprinkling a little sugar on the buttered phyllo pastry not only adds a delicious crunch but also helps to weigh down the delicate sheets of pastry as they bake so that they hold their shape. The creamy filling (made with Lancewood Medium Fat cream cheese and just a...
