I made this cake for the first time a few weeks ago and have made three more already. It is made with oil and low fat yoghurt so cuts out quite a few calories compared to normal cake mixture. It took about 30 minutes to get all the ingredients measured out and mixed together and approximately 18 minutes to cook. I have made it as a whole cake in a standard cake tin and also made into muffins using muffin cases, as I kept cutting large slices of the whole cake and thought that the muffins would last me a bit longer, however I was wrong and they went just as quickly as they taste so delicious! You will need 200g self raising flower, 1tsg baking powder, 75g ...  Read the complete review

And the cake only takes about 5-10 minutes to make (ignoring the cooking time). So I thought I'd share my absolutely foolproof basic sponge recipe which makes the base of all these cakes and generally gets very good reviews as it's light and tasty. It's been passed down to ...  Read the complete review

I have been constantly on the hunt for healthier alternatives to my full fat and calorie baking favourites, but I often find that the reduced fat/calorie versions suffer in flavour too much to be bothered with. But this was until I found this recipe, I know swear by it! Gorgeous moist, soft, gooey chocolatey brownies for only.....wait for it.....77 calories a piece!!!(based on 12 brownies).

It just provides the lovely brownie texture instead of the butter! It's also very ...  Read the complete review

You do not need to be a baking genius to make these biscuits and if you have some basic store cupboard ingredients you can whip these up in no time! I might also add that these make great gifts - i made these for my boyfriend for valentines, but they would work just as well for other occasions and you can use different cookie cutters and pretty packaging! Makes approximately 15 - but this depends on your cookie cutter! INGREDIENTS LIST - 150g flour 100g Butter (cut into smallish cubes) 50g Caster Sugar 1 egg yolk 100g chocolate cut into chunks - or use a packet of choc chips) 2 tsps vanilla ...  Read the complete review
