Almond Basboussa

My version of my Grandmother's recipe is made with almonds and sour cream. This sweet, sticky, nutty Middle Eastern style slice is perfect to serve with a Greek coffee!

Piña Colada Baba

This an adaptation of my Grandmother Mimí's Pineapple Baba recipe that has been a favourite in our extended family for eons. I have perked it up with rum and a coconut cream to give it a Caribbean flavour. It is an unusual recipe as it uses breadcrumbs, not flour, and it will rise like a soufflé during baking and collapse as it cools. This gives it a spongy texture that readily soaks up all that juicy syrup. Be sure to chill the coconut cream overnight.

Upside-down Apricot and Pistachio Cake

There is nothing like this cake when it is served freshly baked, with it's buttery body and the tang of fresh apricots. This is based on my Mum's recipe and the first taste always brings out the little girl in me!

Lamington Birthday Cake

This recipe makes two large slab cakes that can be cut into any shape to make a birthday cake. Here I turned it into a 50th birthday cake using both raspberry and chocolate glazes. You can easily halve the recipe.
