Everyone loves a big fat bakery cookie. These are even better cause I’ve added a secret ingredient that gives it the perfect crispy texture on the outside with a gooey soft chocolate center. And they are HUGE vegan chocolate chip cookies so you can smash your sugar fix and return to life as a normal human.

Coconut Bundt Cake

Best ever bundt cake!

This cake is a MIRACLE! Only because I baked it quite a few times and it failed and failed and failed. I was about to give up and then I added extra coconut cream and changed the vegan butter to vegetable oil. NOW it’s a glorious, tender, extremely delicious cake and it’s friggin vegan. This is the cake I would make for The Queen if she ever popped over for a nibble… actually probably not as I would have eaten it all before she arrived. She can get her own cake.  [Read more…] about Coconut Bundt Cake

Caramel Popcorn Cookies

Caramel is my all time favourite flavour. These taste like you’re eating a Twix bar only better cause POPCORN. They literally melt in your mouth with a nice crunch from almonds and salty popcorn. Seriously, these are so good. When I made them I had to give them away so I wouldn’t eat the whole batch.
