Jam drops

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, December 15, 2022, In : cookies 


Jam drops are so cute-looking and easy to whip up. I used raspberry jam, apricot jam and lemon curd as fillings. If you're not going gluten-free you can replace the Gf flour and ground almonds with 1 1/2 c plain flour.


Makes 32

125 g butter

1/3 c sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 c gluten-free flour

1 c ground almonds

1/2 tsp baking powder

jam of choice or lemon curd


Cream butter and sugar until pale. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.

Sift in flour and almonds and mix together. 

Shape into a...

Coconut meringue slice

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, October 13, 2022, In : slices 

This is a Louise cake by any other name, and very similar to this classic recipe except this one you bake the base and meringue on top at the same time - too easy.

125 g butter
1/2 c sugar (I used coconut, hence the darker coloured cake)
3 eggs, separated
1 c flour (I used gluten free for a change)
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
1-2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c jam
1/2 sugar (use white to keep meringue white)
1 tsp cornflour
1 1/2 c desiccated coconut

Preheat oven to 160C. Line a 20 cm square or ...

Belgian biscuits

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, October 7, 2021, In : cookies 

I've never bought Belgian biscuits myself but making my own sounded like fun so here they are. I made mini versions, sandwiched with St Dalfour 100% fruit jam (to contrast the !00% icing sugar topping). A satisfying bite combining the flavours of a spiced biscuit and raspberry jam.


Makes 46 mini biscuits (23 sandwiched biscuits)

125 g butter
1/4 c brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

1 egg

1 3/4 c flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cocoa

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp mixed spice (or a mix of nutmeg, ...

Brioche scrolls 2.0

Posted by Frances Chan on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, In : bread 

I first made brioche scrolls in during 2020's lockdown. It's not surprising I've had cravings for enriched dough again, since I haven't been able to purchase my favourite brioche at my local cafe, Seabreeze. This recipe yields a smaller amount of dough, but it fits perfectly into a bundt tin to make a beautiful wreath. The dough is best chilled overnight in the fridge to develop flavour so make it the day before you want to eat them!
There are many delicious flavour combos you can use for your...

Brown sugar shortbread

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, January 22, 2021, In : cookies 

This is one of the easiest biscuits you'll ever make - just 3 ingredients. I added jam for variety, and makes a sticky top crunch.


1/2 c / 110 g butter at room temperature

1/4 c / 50g brown sugar

1 1/3 c / 160g flour (I used white and wholemeal spelt)

few tbsp jam (i used strawberry and apricot)


Lightly grease a 20cm round or square cake tin.

Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until soft and pale. Add the flour and mix until just combined.

Press dough evenly in...

Jam & coconut thumbprints

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, July 18, 2019, In : cookies 

Good ol' jam thumbprints! I think a lemon curd would also work well in the biscuit.

115g butter or non-dairy spread, softened
1/4 c coconut sugar or rapadura
1 egg, separated
1 tsp grated orange zest
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 c flour (I sued spelt)
1/2 c desiccated coconut
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
3/4 c desiccated coconut for coating
2 tbsp jam

Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl. Mix in egg yolk, orange juice and zest, and extracts. Sift in flour,...

Louise cake

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, March 13, 2019, In : slices 

An old-fashioned favourite, probably named after Queen Victoria's daughter Louise. It's called a cake but it's really a traybake slice. I like that it uses the eggs two ways and I've cut back on the sugar and butter from traditional recipes. I've also used sugar-free jam, which is available from supermarkets or you can make your own chia jam.
You can veganise this recipe by using aquafaba instead of egg whites. For the base use dairy-free spread and omit the egg yolks.

125g butter or d...

Chocolate and strawberry chia jam cups

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, October 25, 2017, In : sweets 

It's great to make your own chocolate and jam as you can control the sweetness and get your kids to get used to less sugary foods. Grown-ups will like these too, of course!

Make the jam first by blitzing in a blender 1 c strawberries or other berries, 2 tbsp water, 2 tbsp brown rice syrup and 2 tbsp chia seeds. Transfer to a small bowl and heat over medium heat until mixture starts to bubble. Cook for 3-5 minutes, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and c...

Healthy Shrewsbury biscuits

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, October 19, 2017, In : cookies 

Shrewsburys, also known as Jammie Dodgers in England, are two shortbread-style biscuits with jam in the middle. I found this healthy version from Niomi Smart's Eat Smart (HarperCollins, 2016). The biscuits are not too sweet, however, they don't have a super crunch, as they use a liquid sweetener, not sugar. I would make these again a little thinner and maybe add some coconut sugar for crunch.
Makes 25
1 1/2 c ground almonds
2 c buckwheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp cinna...

1/2 tsp salt

Conserve cake

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, In : big cakes 


I've appropriated this recipe from Heidi Swanson's membrillo cake. It's a great way to use up a hardened jam, jelly or conserve that's been in your fridge for too long. She uses membrillo, or quince paste, I used a fig and ginger jam that a friend made that I could cut up into pieces. The conserve pieces melt inside the cake to give a soft moist texture.

2 1/2 c flour (I used spelt and buckwheat)
1 Tbs baking powder
1/2 c brown sugar or natural sweetener
1/2 tsp salt
grated zest of 2 lemons
1/3 c p...

Italian jam drops

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, November 19, 2015, In : cookies 

These biscuits sound so much more exotic when you put 'Italian' in front of them. In his book Italian Home Baking (Kyle Books, 2011) Gino D'Acampo makes these egg cookies with jam. I've never used boiled egg yolk in baking before so I wanted to see what kind of biscuit it would make instead of creaming the butter and sugar.
Makes 20-25 cookies
3 medium eggs
150g flour
80g caster sugar
50g salted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs milk
5 Tbs apricot jam
Boil the eggs for 10 minutes. Cool unde...
