Superfood Chocolate Bark

January 11, 2017 by hannahhossack 117 Comments

Superfood chocolate bark – a healthy sweet treat- dark chocolate with almonds, goji berries, seeds, bee pollen & matcha & blueberry flavored white chocolate.

Apart from my mincemeat bundt cake and a few biscuits and things left over from Christmas I have been doing fairly well so far this year at eating healthily (and yes I know it hasn’t been very long yet, shush you!); I’ve been making lots of soups and stews, stocked up on veg and have put all the packets of lentils at the back of the cupboard to good use. …

White Chocolate Allspice Ice Cream

July 21, 2016 by hannahhossack 10 Comments

Something amazing has happened this past week – Britain has actually had some Summer! As in actual hot, sunny days and clear blue skies rather than torrential rain and gloom… This has meant that I’ve been having to get up early to walk Ringo before it gets too hot to move and the pavement burns his little paws, and all I’ve wanted to eat is ice cream and watermelon, but I’m certainly not going to complain about some much needed sunshine! The heat has also been a good excuse (not that I’ve ever needed one) to put my ice cream maker to good use and this white chocolate allspice ice cream is one of my recent creations….

Passion Fruit, White Chocolate & Coconut Layer Cake

It seems I have a bit of a thing for three layer cakes; if you use 15cm/6in pans they turn out perfectly proportioned, tall enough to look impressive, but not so huge that they are impossible to eat. In fact I use my 15cm tins far more often than any others I own (and I own quite a few…), as they are such a convenient size if you don’t have loads of people to feed; I also want to get some really diddy 10cm ones to make tiny towering cakes with!…

Strawberry, Elderflower & Almond Layer Cake

May 8, 2015 by hannahhossack 70 Comments

I think this may be one of the prettiest cakes i have ever made…it is certainly a good deal more attractive than my last post! It is the perfect cake for spring, delicately flavoured with fragrant elderflower and sweet strawberries. I love elderflower, I remember when I was little helping my parents pick elderflowers to make wine; we had an elderflower tree in our garden and the scent was glorious; unfortunately now, living in inner Birmingham, elderflower trees are rather more difficult to find, and despite much searching while out dog walking I haven’t come across any….

Double Chocolate Almond Cookies

I was feeling at a bit of a baking loss this week; I have a humongous, ever expanding list of things that I want to bake, but couldn’t for the life of me decide what to actually make. In the end I decided to keep things simple, stop agonising about it and just make some damn cookies!…

White Chocolate Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls With White Chocolate Cream Cheese Glaze

November 17, 2014 by hannahhossack 27 Comments

Following the success of my cranberry pumpkin bread the other day (it was sooo good!), I had some leftover pumpkin puree sitting in the fridge. For a while I was at a loss as what to make with it, there are just too many tempting options – pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin cake, pumpkin muffins…are just some of the things that crossed my mind (while I salivated), but then I thought of something that I hadn’t baked in far too long – cinnamon rolls!…

Quadruple Chocolate Cupcakes

November 13, 2014 by hannahhossack 37 Comments

I was told when going to visit a friend that I “must bring cake”, so of course I jumped at the opportunity to do some baking! He LOVES chocolate so I made one of the most chocolaty things I could think of – quadruple chocolate cupcakes… Soft, dark chocolate cake surrounds a centre of gooey dark chocolate ganache and the cupcake is topped with swirled milk and white chocolate swiss meringue buttercream. They are insanely good! Seriously, among the best cupcakes I have ever eaten. Ever….
