It feels like absolute ages ago since I posted a new recipe, which is about right because the last one dates back to October. I used to post new recipes a lot more frequently, but over the last couple of months, I’ve been leaning more toward baking tried and true old favourites than developing new […]

August has been a busy month with both highs and lows, and as a result, I haven’t been very active online (although I did start a TikTok last week – I’m @bookbakeblog on there). I also have done very little baking over the past month, apart from a birthday cake for my boyfriend, but today […]

I’ve got a great recipe for you today! I baked this cake more or less on a whim, because we had a lot of strawberries and flat peaches lying around and I figured it’d be good to bake something with them before they started to perish. The result: a wonderfully fresh, summery cake with strawberries, […]

I don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but here in the Netherlands, we’ve had some pretty gloomy weather for the past couple of weeks.

Last week, when I posted my lemon curd recipe, I already mentioned I’d be posting the recipe for a lemon curd cake soon – and here it is! I made this cake for my birthday a week and a half ago and I can honestly say that it’s one of the best cakes I’ve ever […]

Chrismas is nearly upon us! Only two more nights of sleep until Christmas Eve (which we don’t celebrate in the Netherlands, but whatevs) and three more until Christmas Day. Usually, I post a few (or at least one) Christmas recipe during December, but this year I simply haven’t had the time. I was too busy […]

Summer is the perfect time for fruity flavours! I love lemon all year round, but there’s something about the summer that makes me love it just that little bit more. Last week, I felt like baking something lemony and my mind went to a drizzle cake straightaway. A lemon drizzle cake is delicious, but I […]

I finally baked something again this week! It’d been a month since I last baked anything, and much longer since the last time I tested a new recipe and I was starting to experience withdrawal symptoms. Truth be told, though, it was nice to take a little break from baking and go back to appreciating […]
