Lemon berry cake

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, October 31, 2022, In : big cakes 

This gluten-free cake is light and tangy thanks to whipping up the egg whites, a lemon curd filling and bursts of berry freshness throughout. It's from Little & Friday Every Meal (Penguin, 2016).  The cafe has grown a delicious reputation over the last few years.


160 g softened butter

3/4 c icing sugar

4 eggs, separated

1 tsp baking powder

2 c ground almonds

4 Tbsp lemon juice

zest from 4 lemons

pinch salt

Blueberry muffins

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, May 7, 2021, In : small cakes 

The best thing about muffins is that they only require gentle mixing and don't take long too cook. I don't seem to have baked anything for ages, so this is a quick and satisfying re-entry into Bake Club.

4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 c sugar

100g butter, just melted

Coconut panna cotta & berry coulis

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, May 15, 2020, In : desserts 

I make jellies often for our daughter with just fruit juice and agar -  panna cotta is pretty much the same thing. Berry coulis is the perfect accompaniment for this dessert. Thanks to Heidi Swanson in Super Natural Cooking (Celestial Arts, 2007) for this easy recipe. 


1 can coconut milk or cream

1 1/4 c milk (I used rice milk)

1/3 c cane sugar

Blueberry & lemon cheesecake

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, March 22, 2018, In : desserts 

This is the third raw cheesecake to appear on Bake Club. It's always good to experiment with these things. I made a double recipe to fit a 25cm round cake tin, one of the three cakes I made for my birthday party. I only throw a party once a decade. so I'm happy to make the effort to cater for a whole bunch of diets. I have a few vegan gluten-free friends so I decided to make all the cakes free of gluten, dairy and sugar.

This recipe is adapted from Raw Cake by Daisy Kristiansen and Le...

Berry almond tart

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, January 1, 2018, In : desserts 


I followed the Little Flower Bakery recipe for this brisee dough but it just didn't hold, maybe there was too much butter? Maybe Auckland is just too humid at the moment? Anyway, instead of several small tarts I pressed half the dough into a large tin. I still have half the dough in the fridge, maybe I'll make a savoury quiche with it.

Pastry:
4 1/2 c flour (I used spelt)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 (342g) butter, cut into 2cm cubes and chilled
1/3 c ice water

Almond cream:
1/2 c (114g) butter, softened
1/2 c g...

Easy chocolate mendiants

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, December 15, 2017, In : sweets 

Last year I made my own chocolate for mendiants. This Christmas I'm doing the cheat's version - just melted Whittaker's chocolate with colourful toppings. I've used pistachios, macadamias, toasted flaked almonds, toasted coconut, gojis, cranberries, blueberries, mango and pretzels. Any dried fruit or nut will do. You can spoon circles of chocolate onto trays lined with baking paper or just spoon into mini muffin tins, and top with your extras.
Super easy gifts to make.

Quick mini muffins

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, July 12, 2017, In : small cakes 

These are the quickest and easiest muffins I've made. Only 6 ingredients plus your choice of flavour. With an hour to go before we went visiting, these were mixed and baked in no time. I also made a runny icing with icing sugar and lemon juice to drizzle over, topped with sprinkles for extra child-friendliness. Mini muffins only take 5-7 min to bake, so be careful not to overbake or else it might just taste like a rubber ball.

Makes about 36 mini muffins
200g almond flour/meal (or mix of 100g a...

Blueberry ice cream (dairy-free)

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, January 15, 2016, In : desserts 

This must be the easiest dairy-free ice cream to make. Kate Bradley from Kenko Kitchen (Hardie Grant Books, 2015) gives you coconut ice cream 6 ways. Just blend 2 x 400ml cans coconut cream, 1 c berries (I used fresh blueberries), 1/2 c rice malt syrup, 1 Tbs maple syrup and pinch salt until smooth in a blender. Then churn in an ice cream maker for about 20 mins. Transfer to airtight container to freeze. Works best if you refrigerate the coconut cream for a few hours or overnight beforehand.

Frances's bluberry cake

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, February 28, 2013, In : big cakes 

This is called Melt in your mouth blueberry cake, found on All Recipes. Separating the eggs really helps with the fluffiness. Serving with cream really adds to the calories (but it has to be done!).

2 egg yolks
1 1/2 c flour
