Serves 10-12Spiced Apple Muffin Cake with Pecan Streusel Topping
Instead of making individual muffins, this recipe makes one large cake (or you could do small ones if you prefer). Although this one is made with apple, you could equally use plums or apricots in the summer.

Use the right-sized tin and you can't go wrong with this blissfully easy cake - everyone you make it for will be amazed that it was so simple as it tastes divine.
The Ultimate Carrot Cake with Mascarpone, Fromage Frais and Cinnamon Icing
Made with wholemeal flour, this wonderfully impressive cake would make the perfect centrepiece for afternoon tea - an absolute treat and bound to become your chosen carrot cake recipe!
All-in-one Sponge Cake with Raspberry and Mascarpone Cream
As the title says, this cake is just made in one bowl to the time-honoured all-in-one creaming method. Add fresh raspberries and mascarpone cream for a really summery treat!
Makes an 8 inch (20 cm) square cakePrune and Armagnac Creole Cake
This beautiful cake makes a welcome change from a standard fruit cake at Christmas, but is still full of boozy fruit and flavour!
For an 8 inch (20 cm) cakePrune and Armagnac Creole Cake (for Prep Day 2)
This beautiful cake makes a welcome change from a standard fruit cake at Christmas, but is still full of boozy fruit and flavour!
For the pre-soaking:Creole Christmas Cake
Cake is a bit of a misnomer for this fruit-packed, spice-laden indulgence...you'll need a fork and it could even be served as a festive dessert with cream.
Banana and Walnut Loaf
If I had a pound for every... goes the old cliche. So here it goes again. If only I had a pound for everyone who has praised this cake, rich pickings! Although it is made here with butter and lard, you could make it with spreadable butter.
Makes 15Apricot Oat Slices
The day we tested these lovely, oaty, chewy cakes, I took them to a football club board meeting, and they all disappeared in moments
Makes about 16Almond Biscotti
I think these twice-baked, very crisp biscuits are great for children to make and eat. After that, the adults in true Italian fashion sit down with a glass of chilled Vin Santo, and dip them into it before each bite.
