3 Slices I Can't Stop Making + A New Community Is Coming

Published 9 days ago • 1 min read

hi there Reader

from my kitchen

In between sniffles and coughs in my house, I've been enjoying some quick and easy bakes this week. I made another Whole Orange Cake - we cannot get enough of this one. And I love that it's made in the blender. The batter comes together in about 15 minutes.

I also made another batch of my Cornflake Crunch, my Perfect Chocolate Slice and the Shortbread Cookies on page 42 of my new cookbook Something Sweet.

In other exciting news, I'm also working on a new Sweetest Menu community forum. It'll be a new place where you can connect with ME and fellow bakers from around the world. You'll be able to ask questions, discuss recipes and (maybe the best part), upload your photos of your Sweetest Menu bakes!

I can't wait. Stay tuned!

3 easy slice recipes ❤️

Coconut Jam Slice

Buttery Coconut Jam Slice with a baked shortbread crust, a layer of raspberry jam and a crispy coconut meringue topping. It’s the perfect morning tea treat!

Caramel Slice

Three layers of goodness - shortbread, caramel and chocolate. This recipe is so popular, it even made it into my cookbook!

Chocolate Coconut Slice

This fudgy Chocolate Coconut Slice is my go-to bake for an easy morning tea treat or a bake sale favourite. You don’t even need an electric mixer.

what you've been baking

"A tried and tested favourite in our house. I double the recipe, batch fry and freeze – then chuck them in the toaster for a quick and filling breakfast on school mornings. In winter we like to add orange extract and cinnamon to the batter instead of lemon." - Lois

hi there Reader our new baking community is HERE ❤️ Every single day, readers email me or send me messages on Instagram and ask which recipe of mine they should try, or what brand of chocolate I use, or how they should store their leftovers. You send me photos of your bakes, cakes you made for birthdays, or cookies your made with their kids. And honestly, chatting with you is one of the best parts of my job. But DMs can get lost, and there's only one me. So I'm so excited to launch a new...

hi there Reader a new video for you ❤️ Whenever I develop a recipe, I feel like I have so much to say! I try to cram as much information as I can into the recipe post, but sometimes I just want to bake with you. So I've decided to do more long form videos where we can bake the recipe together and really get into the nitty gritty. You can see exactly how I'm making something, the techniques, the timings and we can chat along the way. So after filming how-to videos for my Jam Drop Biscuits and...

hi there Reader from my kitchen What a week it's been! After the success of my Whole Orange Cake, I went straight back into the kitchen for more recipe testing. I've been working on a Cornflake Brownie recipe but so far it hasn't gone to plan. Despite trying different variations, I'm actually becoming more and more convinced that brownie and cornflakes don't necessarily belong together. recipe testing cornflake brownies this week While both elements taste amazing on their own, together, the...
