Egg-Free Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake With Salted Peanut Butter Icing

Egg-Free Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake With Salted Peanut Butter Icing

I recently posted a recipe for a summer berry cloud cake which I baked for my birthday this year. It’s one of my favourite cakes of all time, so do check it out! Today, I’m coming with a recipe for the second cake I made for my birthday: a salted peanut butter chocolate cake. The chocolate cake itself is vegan, but also delicious! It makes a perfect cake base, and it’s safe for people with dietary restrictions: not just vegans, but also those allergic to eggs or dairy. The salted peanut butter spread contains whipping cream, but you can swap it for an alternative icing if needed. This cake is extremely easy to make and doesn’t take much time.

Summer Berry Cloud Cake Recipe – Delicious Treat For Hot Days

Summer Berry Cloud Cake Recipe – Delicious Treat For Hot Days

It was my birthday at the end of July, and for the first time in seven years, I had a chance to celebrate it with my family in Poland. Living in the UK, I learnt that you receive cakes from others on your birthday. In Poland, it’s quite the opposite! On your birthday, you’re expected to buy – or make – a cake yourself, and share it with others. I love baking and rarely get a chance to do it these days, so naturally, I decided to bake a cake myself. In fact, I made two! I will share both recipes on this blog, starting with this delicious berry cloud cake on a shortbread base – perfect for the summer!

Healthy Protein Muffins – Banana, Cocoa, Goji Berries, Cottage Cheese – No Protein Powder

Healthy Protein Muffins – Banana, Cocoa, Goji Berries, Cottage Cheese – No Protein Powder

Recently, whilst organising my kitchen, I found a muffin tray that I hadn’t used for absolute ages. My old recipe for white chocolate and raspberry muffins is still one of my favourite muffin recipes I’ve tried, but living on my own, I rarely bake indulgent treats. Well, I decided to make use of the forgotten muffin tray and bake muffins in a healthier, more nutritious, higher in protein version that’s freezable too. It was an experimental recipe, but I’m really pleased with how these muffins turned out! I made them with cottage cheese to bump up the protein, and added dried goji berries for extra nutrients. Yum!

My 6 Project Failures – April’s Fools – Not Everything Goes Well

My 6 Project Failures – April’s Fools – Not Everything Goes Well

It’s April’s Fools on Wednesday, and I wanted to write a lighthearted post for that occasion. So, let’s talk about some of my failed projects! If you follow my blog regularly, you’ll probably see that I try my best to execute recipes and DIY projects nicely, and hopefully end with a pleasant outcome. It may not always be to everyone’s taste, but I still do my best. But what you don’t see is that sometimes, I start working on a project for a blog post, and everything goes wrong. Some of the failed projects were salvaged and posted on this blog anyway. Others were abandoned and never spoken about. Until this day. Here’s to keeping things real! Remember, behind every cute-looking, successful, published project, there are failures kept in a secret.

Why You Should Use Kitchen Scales And Ditch Cup Measures – And Scales Mistakes To Avoid

Why You Should Use Kitchen Scales And Ditch Cup Measures – And Scales Mistakes To Avoid

Whenever I post recipes on my blog, sooner or later I get comments about providing ingredient measurements in grams instead of cups. And I get it – it might be frustrating if a recipe requires a kitchen appliance you don’t have. But if there’s a hill I’m willing to die on, it’s this one – scales are a lot more accurate than cups. If you’re still convinced that cup measurements are better, I invite you to read this post, in which I’m going to try to convince you to switch to kitchen scales. I will also give you some tips for using them well, and mention common mistakes. Let’s go!

Weird Foods I Ate Growing Up In Poland

Weird Foods I Ate Growing Up In Poland

Moving abroad 6 years ago taught me numerous things. One of them was realising just how different people’s dietary habits are between different countries, even when those countries are located in the same area of the world. History also plays a part in it – poorer nations tend to have very different diets than the richer ones. I grew up in Poland, in the 1990s. Now, Poland has caught up with the Western world and young people are well familiar with oat milk matcha lattes and similar staples of 21st century foods. But back in the 90s, things were much different. I recently thought back to my childhood and all of the meals that were part of my usual diet, and realised that a lot of my peers in the UK would be perplexed hearing about my childhood menu. So, I decided to share with you some of the meals that I used to eat regularly. I hope you find this list interesting!
