Cake Recipes
Life is far too short for avoiding cakes altogether.
My website may be about light food full of flavour but I also believe that a little bit of the “naughtier” side of food – those things that tend to include butter and sugar – is seriously good for the soul.
I have also added a recipe for raw chocolate truffles in amongst the cakes.

Footnote
I've started to use xylitol - which looks and tastes like sugar but has very little effect on raising your blood sugar.
I read about xylitol a while ago and finally got around to trying it. And now that I have, I won’t use sugar again. Xylitol is a vegetable sugar which is similar to fructose in fruit and has a very low GI.
I’m not sure if it’s sold in super-markets. I buy it in a health food shop.
I like my cakes to be a bit tart and I also want them to be both moist and light. If my cakes are not slightly tart and moist, then they are filled with seductively dark chocolate and moist.
As for ingredients, I would NEVER substitute butter with margarine or some other horribly manufactured spread. My carrot cake though - as are carrot cakes in general - is made with sunflower oil, not butter.
I’ve said it in other places on this website that I use organic eggs most of the time. I will use free-range eggs if I can’t get hold of organic eggs, but not eggs from caged chickens.
And when it comes to equipment I am quite bowled over by all the silicone bake-ware you can find nowadays and I use them a lot.
These days I also travel with electronic scales. There are different ways of measuring, depending on what country you are from, but weights are more exact and that’s what I’m sticking to now. You can buy good electronic scales at a very reasonable price.
