Welcome to part two of the apple fest! Part one saw us making some Apple Spiced Doughnuts, and this time I bring you cake! Glorious Rustic Apple Cake. It originally started as ‘Cinnamon Apple Cake with Browned Butter Frosting’, but thankfully I realised I needed a …
Okay, here’s the whole truth: today’s post was meant to be Blueberry Muffins from my fancy expensive cookbook, but somehow everything went horribly wrong. I burned the muffins, they got stuck in the tin and then fell apart when I tried to un-stick them. And …
Here’s the thing: I love food. I especially love baked goods, anything to do with chocolate, fancy desserts, or anything involving ice cream. I eat everything, and it works out well for me because here’s the other thing: I run a food blog. Nobody wants …
Just the other week I wrote about adulting, and how great it feels when you actually take control of your life. Well, I have been adulting all over the place lately. You know when you have a kind of vague idea of what you want …
Happy Easter weekend, friends! I hope this post finds you relaxed and well rested in the lead up to the chocolate-fest that Easter always is. Today I wanted to share with you a recipe that’s been lingering around the blog archives since 2016: Curly Carrot …
I’ve recently become entirely obsessed with baking again. I mean, the obsession never really went away, more that it was kind of hiding just beneath the surface. I’m almost ashamed to admit that I can count the amount of things I’ve baked over the past …
When do you really become an adult? Is it when you offer to host the Christmas dinner party in your house? Or is it when you spend over 7 hours (I kid you not) making lists of the different food possibilities you could make, the …
I know. You got me. I left the blog to fend for itself. Again. So maybe we missed the month of October, but that’s only because I couldn’t think of anything good to bake for Halloween. It may also have had something to do with …
Have you ever noticed how bad things happen all at once? You’ll never get one bad thing happening at a time, nope. It starts off slowly, you wake up with a little pain in your back. Stretch it out, be grand. Then you go downstairs, …
Who decided that muffins are an on-the-go food? Have you ever actually tried to eat a muffin while wandering about town? I mean, they’re more on the go than a bowl of cereal, but what isn’t? Walking down the street while trying to catch every …
Time is a tricky thing. Lately it just seems as though the days are flying past. I mean, how are we already nearing the middle of November!? It seems like summer only just ended & now all of a sudden Halloween is over & December …
Cakes that have several layers are a big deal. They involve more stress, they require more concentration, they take longer to bake (especially if you’re like me & only have one tin of a certain size..), & generally speaking, people expect more from them, that …
Hello friends, happy Sunday! I recently had the opportunity to remake this oldie from July 2013 and I thought I’d share it with you: Chocolate Marbled Vegan Banana Bread. Years ago, when I’d just started blogging, I kept Passionate Baker a secret from most people. …
Surprise! Bet you didn’t expect to find me posting anything today, seeing as I’m jetting off to the wonderfully sunny city of Zadar (it’s in Croatia) in the early hours of tomorrow. Alas, I couldn’t leave you hanging for a whole week with no new …
