Banoffee Cake

Banoffee Cake, originated in the UK in the early 70's, since then it has evolved into a Banoffe Pie, starting with a lovely crisp shortbread like pastry case then filled with toffee, banana and cream and grated chocolate, it is just as delicious!
I much prefer the cake version, the delicate, light sponge made with a hint of  banana and with the combination of all the other flavours - marry together to make an wonderful dessert for any occasion.

The Banoffee Cake becomes a little tower as you begin to assemble the other elements.


The first step to enrich this light sponge is to start by putting a layer of Toffee Sauce. The Toffee Sauce is very important to the overall texture and flavour. 

The rich smooth toffee sauce is made up of ingredients such as Golden Syrup, Cream & Brown Sugar.

Second part of the creation is the sliced banana, followed by vanilla cream. I like to go all out and put more sauce again before it is crowned with another layer of sponge, topped with vanilla cream and toffee sauce. 

It's to die for...

Keep Calm and Carry On was a propaganda poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of the Second World War, intended to raise the morale of the British public in the event of invasion.

I rather like the new  parody of this poster  it always raises my morale when I see this.

Cake, Dessert will definitely bring a different invasion to the table!

What joy it is to take out a lovely baked cake and then to share with loved ones. I never need to be motivated to Bake or try out another receipe! Do you need motivation to enjoy Divine Desserts?

Cheesecake is my signature dessert.

I have been making this delightful treat for so long and here is why I never get tired of it.

It's always on request for  family occasions. It must be the combination of the beautiful ingredients that make the cheesecake creamy, smooth with a  rich texture and flavour.

My favourite cheescake is the Lemon Baked Cheesecake and occassionally a New York Cheesecake comes to the rescue.

I also make one by flavouring  it with Orange juice and Orange zest.
When serving this a little Chocolate Sauce finishes it off completely.

If you are addicted to Cheesecake like me and the last piece is just sitting there my approach is "hand over the Cheesecake and nobody gets hurt". Ok , I know this is a little extreme and thankfully it has never come to this, but very close...

Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce

Pudding characteristically denotes a sweet milk-based dessert similar in consistency to egg-based custards such as Bread & Butter Rice Pudding.

Pudding may also be formed by mixing various ingredients such as flour, butter, sugar, eggs, fruit and suet which produces a solid mass. These are baked, steamed and boiled.

Autumn has now begun no need to wait for winter to enjoy my Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce.

Moist, delicious dates throughout the pudding served with a toffee coloured Butterscotch Sauce and a scoop of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. I also love making this as an individual size pudding! It doesn't get better than this.....
