Sweet
Even those who claim not to have a sweet tooth will find it impossible to resist Delia's fabulous sweet offerings, from cakes to ice cream, crumbles to creamy fruit puddings.
Serves 6Plum and Almond Buttermilk Cobbler
This recipe is a wonderful way to ring the changes from the ubiquitous plum crumble in late summer when plums are at their peak. Serve this with cream or ice cream for real indulgence.
Serves 6Individual Queen of Puddings
You can, of course, make this in one large baking dish but the puddings look really pretty presented in individual dishes, particularly when entertaining.
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.
Serves 8Chocolate, Prune and Armagnac Cake
Start this wonderful gluten-free cake a couple of days ahead, then revel in its sheer lightness, due to the lack of flour used.
Serves 8Fresh Coconut Layer Cake
With its pretty white shreds this cake looks spectacular. It tastes pretty good too!
Makes 10White Chocolate Rice Krispie Cakes with Silver Smarties
Who can resist one of these? Basic Rice Krispie cakes are given a visual lift with the addition of silver Smarties and silver cupcake cases. They'd be perfect for a tea party.
Serves 4Squidgy Chocolate Cakes with Prunes in Marsala
A friend challenged Delia to come up with a chocolate cake that was low in fat: this is the luscious result, to make chocolate fans rejoice!
Serves 6Butterscotch and Banana Sundaes
Crunchy turrón, rich butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream combine to great effect in these lovely sundaes.
Makes 6Damson, Almond and Cinnamon Muffins
Wondering what to do with her minute, jewel-like crop of damsons, Delia hit on these moreish muffins in which the tartness of the fruit is the perfect foil for almonds, cinnamon and soft sponge.
Serves 6-8Spiced Apple and Pecan Crumble with Mascarpone Vanilla Cream
Apple crumble is one of your all-time favourite desserts, so why not give it an extra dimension with pecan nuts and mascarpone cream, lifting it into the luxury league.
