I love a sponge and can’t really go past a slice of Victoria Sandwich.  These cakes can be found on the counters of most tea shops in and around the UK.  Served in wedges, sandwiched together with lashings of deep red raspberry jam and fluffy light cream, it is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of English Breakfast tea. For sponge perfection – take your time adding the eggs.

Mouth-wateringly sweet, sticky and calorific. If you are on a diet, this is not for you. But even if you are on a diet, you won’t be able to resist – sorry. The smell of coconut cooking is enough to drive me wild.

What a combination:  Coconut and Passion Fruit – One of my favourite combos, and screaming “Share me, Share me!” These gorgeous Coconut Scones with Passion Fruit Mascarpone are simple yet stunning: the perfect accompaniment to lashings of girlie gossip and a good old giggle session… beverages at your discretion!

Fudgy, chocolatey, sexy, moreish – nuff said.

Pancake Day should be every day… and with these little gems in your repertoire there’s no reason why it can’t be! Don’t stop at mornings, eat them anytime – they’re divine!
