A light and soft coconut loaf with a wonderful toasted coconut icing I have been experimenting with a few gluten-free recipes with mixed success. This gluten-free coconut loaf is one of the successes. It has all the coconut I could possibly cram into a cake – coconut flour, coconut sugar, coconut oil, desiccated coconut, coconut milk. Coconut flour is extremely tricky to work with and can really produce a dry…
A moist cake with a wonderfully fudgy crumb, the icing on the cake literally, is the chocolate fudge frosting The internet is not short of chocolate cake recipes, there are so many different variations … from mud cakes to chocolate chiffon cakes, chocolate cakes range from super dense and fudgy to light and airy. I have shared a few chocolate cake recipes on here, but this is an essential addition…
A dark, moist earthy cake finished off with a dark chocolate ganache I had some leftover beetroot from a dinner party and wanted to use it in a cake. My mind initially went to red velvet, but I have honestly never enjoyed the flavour of beetroot in a red velvet cake. I had a chocolate and beetroot cake a long time ago and really enjoyed how the earthy notes of…
A beautiful malted caramel sponge, with a salted caramel sauce, French buttercream and whipped cream filling – with a peanut crunch! I know many people critique salted caramel for being so 2017, but for me, I absolutely love it! My best friend Pavit also loves it too. I made a variant of this cake for his birthday last year, and to be honest, the sponge was rather dry, albeit the…
These madeleines are Middle Eastern Inspired, with orange blossom water, honey and pistachios I should create a folder on my blog dedicated to madeleines! I love these little cakes so much that I keep reinventing them with different flavours. I also make it often, when I know friends are coming over for tea, as the batter can be made in advance and baked up whilst your guests are there. In…
An incredibly moist and flavourful cake, fragrant with freshly ground cardamom and free from gluten and dairy. We were having dinner with a friend a few weeks back and, unsurprisingly, I wanted to bake something to take along. I thought that this orange, cardamom and polenta cake would be the perfect accompaniment to the end of a meal. I also wanted to create something Eid-inspired, as I have many Muslim…
My go to muffin recipe, which I have slightly tweaked with the inclusion of dried cranberries and a crumble topping I love how versatile my go-to muffin recipe is, and I often adapt it to things I have lying around. Here, I had some leftover cranberries and oats from the breakfast cookies I baked a few weeks back and decided to use them to create these cranberry crumble muffins. I…

If you make this recipe, please share it with me by tagging me on Instagram @adventureswithsugar or on Facebook at Adventures with Sugar. Please also leave a comment below to let me know…
This classic bake gets a gluten free twist and a glaze added to it, to amp up the lemony flavour. Lemon and poppyseed cake has to be up there with one of my favourite cakes. As a student, I would always go to the local student restaurant, Cocoa Wah Wah for a slice of indulgence during exam study breaks. They had the most incredibly moist lemon and poppyseed layer cake…
