Cakes

If you don’t want to spend time baking but also want to jazz up your dessert, here are 10 ways to jazz up a store bought cake and turn it into a masterpiece. It won’t even look like you bought it from the store!

I make this Coconut Raspberry Loaf often for an after school snack for the kids and to have with a cuppa when guests pop in. I bake the loaf, slice it up, and put it in the freezer (in a freezable container) and take out a slice and defrost as needed.

Banana bread is one of my favourite snacks to have in the house. I like to use up my over-ripe bananas and turn them into a snack that lasts for days on end. My kids love having a piece in their lunch box at school. However, I prefer a slice warmed up with a good layer of butter and a coffee for afternoon tea.

This delicious and fluffy cream cheese icing recipe will make your favourite carrot and banana cakes taste so good.

It may be gluten free and egg free, but this chocolate layer cake really is a special celebration cake that everyone can enjoy – even if you have a gluten intolerance or are allergic to eggs. One for the whole family.

This Chocolate & Salted Caramel Cake by Jamie Oliver looks amazing. A chocolate cake with a hint of coffee, salted caramel oozing between two cake layers, topped with a chocolate ganache. This will certainly be a show stopper!

This Chocolate Hazelnut Cake is a really simple idea to serve at Easter. Spread nutella as icing and decorate with Easter Eggs.

A really fun and quirky birthday cake idea. The kids will be amazed by the gravity cake with their favourite lollies or chocolates falling down from the packet.

A quick and easy banana loaf recipe to add to the kids lunchboxes or as an after school snack.
