Date and Walnut Loaf

February 3, 2020 By Amy 75 Comments

Date and Walnut loaf cake recipe from Baking with Granny.

There’s something quite comforting about a slice of cake that’s been bakes in loaf-form. I think it’s because it reminds me of being in a quaint little coffee shop. And Date and Walnut Loaf is the the perfect accompaniment to your favourite brew.

Scottish Daily Mail

Baking with Granny feature in the Scottish Daily Mail newspaper.

If you follow Baking with Granny on Facebook you will have seen the excitement over the fact we recently done a 5-day feature of recipes with the Scottish Daily Mail. Unfortunately, our feature clashed with the arrival of the “Beast from East”, meaning we were unable to get the last few days worth of newspapers locally – a problem which I understand a lot of people had too!Read More

Dundee Cake

January 24, 2018 By Amy 10 Comments

Dundee Cake - Deliciously sweet, Scottish fruit cake. Topped with blanched almonds.

When it comes to cake, I still feel like I’m on a journey of discovery. Cakes were always what Granny made when I was growing up and as such, I never really took to them. Too much of a good thing! But since growing up and moving away from home, I have rediscovered cake in all it’s glory. The latest cake to join my newly discovered all-time favourites is Dundee Cake.Read More

Banana Nutella Loaf

October 30, 2017 By Amy 6 Comments

Banana Nutella Loaf - The classic banana bread with a chocolate spread twist.

Confession time… I’m not a big fan of Nutella. I know, shock-horror – a major chocoholic like myself, it doesn’t make sense. Don’t get me wrong, I will eat it when it’s part of recipe but I’m not a eating-it-from-the-jar kind of girl. That being said, I can appreciate the combo of Nutella and bananas, especially since my youngest, David, has recently taken a loving to “Butella”. Granny had mentioned this combo of Nutella in Banana Loaf and it seemed like the perfect treat for David.Read More

Angel Cake

September 18, 2017 By Amy 18 Comments

Angel Cake. The classic layer sponge loaf. Pink, yellow and plain, sandwiched together with buttercream.

Growing up with Granny baking at home, people are always shocked to find out that as kids, myself and my sisters weren’t big cake fans. We’d always have beautiful birthday cakes created by Granny but we would never have much interest in actually eating them. However there’s one person who has always been loyal to eating Granny’s cakes – that is Papa. Perhaps that is why the tale of his 40th Birthday Angel Cake is all the more facetious.

Gingerbread

Gingerbread Loaf Cake recipe from Baking with Granny. Classic British recipe for gingerbread cake.

I don’t want to mention the ‘C‘ word since we’re still only in September but there’s no denying the nights are drawing in. The temperature & weather in Edinburgh has still been somewhat unpredictable but I know I’m already craving some cosier comforts that come with Autumn. And what’s better than a door-stop sized slice of Gingerbread?
