Buttermilk Cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting

Happy Wednesday, friends! We’re celebrating the blog birthday today, would you like to join us? I mean, technically, the birthday was two days ago.. but we’re running on lockdown time, which is really such a different ballgame. Eight years ago, on April 27th 2012, I

Hi friends! I’d like to take the chance today to tell you about my new favourite cookies: Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies. They’re from The Cookie Book, and they’re the bomb.com. I accidentally stumbled across said book online randomly, and despite never having heard of

Friends, hello! I’m sharing a cake today that is very close to my heart: Pear Spice Cake with Brown Butter Frosting & Dark Chocolate Drip. Every year, right around the beginning of Autumn, I make this Pear Spice Cake. It’s a welcoming ritual of sorts, 

Salted Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies

Salted Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies

Basically, I saw everyone else on the internet making Alison Roman’s salted shortbread cookies, so I made Alison Roman’s salted shortbread cookies. It was a real life Mean Girls moment, and I’m not even ashamed to admit it. I had a serious case of FOMO.

Because one type of chocolate is never enough to celebrate a birthday with. And guys, this birthday is a big one. Six years ago today, I made the decision to start my own food blog & created passionate baker. I threw myself head first into

Day 4. No work, no leaving the house, no telephone network, no sunshine. We are slowly but surely running out of milk & bread, we’ve exhausted our supply of cookie dough, and we’re down to our last bottle of wine. Things are pretty grim. The

Let’s jump head first into the new year. We’re just coming out of those murky days surrounding the holidays & trying to get ourselves back into working shape. There’s a long to-do list to tackle before the week is out, including – but not limited 

The Dough Diaries: Chocolate Babka

The Dough Diaries: Chocolate Babka

As promised, chocolate babka. Confession: until I started reading food blogs, I had never heard of a babka, chocolate or otherwise. This could be down to my sheltered Irish life, but babka was just one of those things that had never crossed my path before.

I was going to go with a title more along the gluten free lines, but as a gluten lover, I decided against it. Whenever I see the words gluten free, I immediately think it’ll be dry & boring. There have been a few exceptions, but not

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

Friends, I’m going to be completely honest with you here. In order to get this post written I’m working on a task & reward system. See, I had the best of intentions to write a witty & entertaining post all about these smoked sea salt

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, 

Triple Chocolate Muffins

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

Gifting 101: Homemade Chocolate Lollipops

There are some days when I just don’t want to involve myself in the hassle of actually baking. All the dirty bowls & measuring cups, the millions of ingredients, the flour all over the counter tops, the butter that somehow always ends up in my

Hi friends! I hope this post finds you well, and maybe in need of a Sunday baking project? I wanted to take the time out today to highlight an old post: Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cup Cookies. In all my days since, I don’t think
