Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

The perfect autumnal treat - this vegan pumpkin chocolate chip bread is all you need to get you through a dreary, cold and rainy day! It's so easy to put together and made with healthier ingredients. To be completely honest, I only got into baking with pumpkin recently. Apart from the pumpkin spice lattes that pop up in coffee shops around October time, pumpkin in general isn't a big thing in the UK. Pumpkin puree isn't regularly available in supermarkets, although it's easy to find online. That's why I've never really felt the urge to bake with it. Having said that, I always see so many American recipes around this time of year using pumpkin and they always make my [...]

Vegan Chocolate Orange Marble Loaf

Vegan Chocolate Orange Marble Loaf

A delicious cake topped with a dark chocolate shell - this vegan chocolate orange marble loaf is the perfect dinner party treat to impress your guests! Chocolate and orange is always a winning combination in my eyes, especially in cake form. I've taken it a step further and topped my marble loaf with a dark chocolate shell for extra yumminess and decadence! You can't go wrong with adding more chocolate, can you? I don't bake many cakes, but when I do it's usually in the form of a loaf, like this lemon loaf, chocolate banana bread or chocolate peanut butter banana bread. I find loaf cakes so much more delicious and satisfying. They're so dense and moist, which is what [...]

Vegan Chocolate Fudge Cake

Vegan Chocolate Fudge Cake

(AD) I can’t think of anything better than a decadent piece of cake to get me through a long and stressful week. If you’re looking for a yummy, sweet treat that’s completely plant-based, you NEED this vegan chocolate fudge cake! I don’t often eat cake, but when I do it has to be homemade. I’ve always found homemade to be so much more delicious with a better texture. Shop bought cakes can so easily be dry and far too sweet with not much else in terms of flavour. I usually make a cake when I have people coming over, but the restrictions that we all faced over the last year and a half changed all that. All of a sudden [...]

Gluten-Free Vegan Yule Log

Gluten-Free Vegan Yule Log

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* If you’re looking for a show-stopping dessert, this gluten-free vegan yule log is for you! A delicious chocolate sponge with a buttercream filling and a decadent ganache topping – what’s not to love? Yule logs can be tricky, but somehow FREEE managed to make a really easy fool-proof recipe that’s both vegan and gluten-free! The sponge is so chocolatey (and easy to roll!) with a deliciously smooth filling and a lush ganache. How they were able to tick all those boxes, I don’t know! I must admit I’d never made a yule log before. They seemed too faffy and long winded, but when I saw how simple the instructions for this recipe were, I [...]

Vegan Lemon Loaf

Vegan Lemon Loaf

A deliciously tangy treat - this vegan lemon loaf is so tasty and tart without being too sweet. The perfect pick me up on cold, grim days. I'm taking a break today from my usual chocolatey desserts to share something fruity for a change. It's been so gloomy and dull in the UK the past few days that I've felt like I needed something to brighten up the day and my mood. Lemon desserts always have that effect on me, so I had to make one today. Loaf cakes are probably my favourite type of cake. They're so dense, moist and satisfying. I'm not a big fan of cakes with cream or frosting, and loaf cakes don't usually come with [...]

Healthier Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

Healthier Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

A lighter cake made with healthier ingredients - this healthier chocolate peanut butter cake is perfect if you're looking for a lighter celebration cake or if you're craving a slice of cake, but want something more nutritious to satisfy those cravings! I created this cake to celebrate BULK's 15th birthday! I'm proud to say I've been a BULK ambassador since January this year and it's been such a pleasure being part of their team. There are many reasons I love working with BULK. As someone from an ethnic minority, it's amazing to work with such a huge brand and feel so included as part of their massive team of ambassadors. It's also great to know that I work with a [...]

Festive Gingerbread Bundt Cake

Festive Gingerbread Bundt Cake

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* Only a week left before Christmas! If you’re looking for a last-minute festive treat that’s both gluten-free and vegan (and delicious!), then you have to try this festive gingerbread bundt cake! One of the best things about Christmas is all the yummy baked goods. What better excuse to bake than Christmas? And for me, when I think about festive desserts, the first one that comes to mind is gingerbread! Those warming and aromatic spices fill the house with so much festivity and cheer. Typically gingerbread is made in the form of cookies or gingerbread men (I actually shared my take on gingerbread cookies, which you can find here), but I wanted to incorporate it [...]

Festive Orange Cranberry Banana Bread

Festive Orange Cranberry Banana Bread

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* You can’t beat a good slice of banana bread – it never fails to impress, but only when it’s rich, moist and packed with yummy flavours, like this festive orange cranberry banana bread is. Even though I’m a HUGE banana bread fan, I somehow managed not to make one throughout both lockdowns when everyone else was going banana bread mad! I’ve recently been craving a moist slice of sweet banana bread though, so decided to make a festive version seeing that Christmas is only 2 weeks away! ? This banana bread is completely gluten-free and vegan. I used a mixture of FREEE Gluten-Free Plain White Flour and ground almonds to give it that moist [...]
