Best Buttercream Recipe

This is my staple recipe for buttercream, it’s my go to and it’s easy. The simplicity of this cannot take away from the amazing taste. It is the perfect sweetness and consistency for decorating cakes with. It’s not too soft so that it won’t hold when you pipe with it, and it’s not too hard so you can’t spread it. It is simply just perfect!

I used to find buttercream so hard to make, it was either too sweet or not sweet enough, and the colour was never white enough. So I then tried looking into other buttercreams such as italian meringue or swiss meringue buttercream, but they turned out to have more technicalities and let’s face it more washing. So I found myself wanting to attempt to make the american buttercream again. It’s SO simple, when you know how, so here’s my recipe: Continue reading “Best Buttercream Recipe”

The Classic Vanilla Cake

It’s the go to cake, it’s a classic, it’s the one that everyone wants to master- it’s the vanilla sponge! It was the first thing I ever baked as a little girl and it’s the one where my love of baking started. I remember my mum and my gran teaching me how to cream the sugar and the butter together with a wooden spoon, and me complaining that it’s taking to long and my arm was sore. I quickly stopped moaning over the years when we got an electric mixer and that when I discovered and an all in one recipe.

The vanilla cake can be used for many things; it can be a great layered cake or as a cupcake mixture. The recipe that I am going to share has enough mixture for 1 layer in a 10cm tin or enough for 12 dozen cupcakes. I find that my cakes rise well and are nice and fluffy with this recipe.

Double Chocolate Brownies

Do you ever feel in the need for a chocolatey baked good? Well my next bake is double chocolate brownies and these will definitely meet your needs. These are incredibly chocolatey and will be any chocolate lovers dream. This is a straightforward recipe and doesn’t take too long to make- so no excuses. When I was baking these I had a craving for everything chocolate so I customized these by adding white chocolate chunks. You could add whatever you’re in the mood for: chocolate chips, chunks of your favourite sweets or you could even swirl through some peanut butter. I love my brownies gooey and fudgy, and by adding chocolate chips to the mix, it’s the cherry on top, as it creates a yummy gooey, melty creation.
