Tiramisu

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, September 7, 2022, In : desserts 


Tiramisu is my preferred dessert when dining at an Italian restaurant because I've always thought it would be too much work to make at home. How wrong I was! The eggy cream takes a few minutes to whisk but the assembly is easy and fun too. I made this for no other reason except to satisfy my gluttony. This batch will happily feed a crowd or just one for several nights if you're home alone. No special occasion needed for tiramisu - just because.

4 egg yolks, at room temperature
100 g caster suga...

Chocolate cake

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, In : big cakes 

I do love an easy chocolate cake that you don't need eggs for. Benjamina Ebuehi's recipe from A Good Day to Bake (Hardie Grant, 2022) is vegan and you can make it gluten-free and refined sugar-free too. I added swirls of jam or you could go to town with peanut butter, nuts or dried fruit.


1/2 tsp espresso powder

1 c hot water

1 1/2 c flour of choice

1 c granulated sugar of choice

1/3 c cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 c neutral vegetable oil

Mocha chip cookies

Posted by Bake Club on Sunday, January 23, 2022, In : cookies 

One of the best flavour combos - chocolate and coffee - in one biscuit! It's from Better Baking by Genevieve Ko (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2016). I have a few favourites from this book that utilises wholesome ingredients. It's important to chill the dough for several hours so make it in the morning or the night before.

Makes around 36
2 c flour (I used wholemeal spelt)
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Vegan coffee cake with cashew cinnamon icing

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, June 7, 2021, In : big cakes 

Some people call 'coffee cake' any kind of cake that's served with coffee. But this is an actual coffee-flavoured cake that's made with wholefoods and is vegan to boot. Also easy to use gluten-free flour. The coconut sugar gives it a gorgeous dark caramel colour. It's a light, fluffy cake great with a cuppa, of course. It's from Deliciously Ella: A Plant-based Cookbook (Yellow Kite, 2018). 


3 Tbsp instant coffee granules (or strong espresso coffee)

2 Tbsp boiling water

450g flour (I used wholeme...

Coffee cardamom cookies

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, September 15, 2020, In : cookies 

The flavours here are very popular in the Scandinavian countries - it's a sophisticated biscuit. I was surprised that our 8-year-old liked them too; I used decaf coffee to mitigate any caffeine effects!

Banoffee chia pudding

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, December 10, 2018, In : desserts 

Banoffee is usually a mix of bananas, cream and toffee but this one is banana, coconut cream and coffee - brilliant! It's a super easy pudding/mousse/parfait that can be indulged in any time of day. In the morning top it with yoghurt and granola or for dessert add whipped coconut cream and nuts. The recipe is from Kings Plant Barn.

W is for walnuts! A healthy and wholesome addition to any cake, such as carrot or courgette or chocolate brownie. But today I've paired it with one of my faves - coffee. It's no. 23 of 26 alphabetical bakes! Make it extra special with coffee icing and candied walnuts. This is adapted from a Julie Le Clerc recipe.

Mocha cake

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, June 21, 2018, In : big cakes 

I do like a mochaccino every now and then, likewise a coffee-flavoured cake, with coffee of course! The coffee flavour didn't come out too strongly in this recipe from Gee Charman's Guilt-Free Baking (Nourish Books, 2015) so it's suitable for kids too. For an adult version I'd add more coffee and maybe some ground coffee too. It's a bonus bake in my A to Z of bakes!

You can use a 20cm round cake tin or 30cm x 20cm brownie tin and cut the cake into squares.

Frances’s espresso pecan cupcakes

I appropriated this from
Marian Keyes' espresso and walnut cake recipe in her latest book Saved by Cake. It's a great beginner's baking book with tips and witty repartee from Marian. She says baking didn't cure her depression but helped her along her way to happiness and peace. In her recipe she uses 2 sandwich tins and puts the icing in between the layers and on top.

50g butter
80ml milk
1 c espresso

Coffee snaps by Frances

http://sugarandspice-and-allthingsnice.blogspot.co.nz/2011/03/coffee-snaps_11.html). Shirleen said she had a ‘hankering’ for some cookies – I know exactly how she feels!

Espresso banana muffins by Frances

This is the first recipe I have tried from my latest Amazon purchase, Super Natural Cooking by Heidi Swanson. Mine were a little misshapen as I didn't have a muffin tray at the time. That subtle coffee flavour is very nice. Lovely with a cuppa.
