I have been wanting to add a light fruit cake to my blog for a while and haven’t found one I was happy with so I looked in my Grandma’s recipe book and found one she called Genoa cake.

It is also really easy to make! Jump to recipePre-heat the oven to 150 degrees centigrade (130 fan) then line and…
This pandolce genovese recipe is the traditional version of the genoa cake eaten during Christmas time in the Liguria region. Easy to make and so delicious.
My inspiration for what to bake this week came from my current reading material. I am reading “In The Company Of Cheerful Ladies”, which is book six in the series of the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith. I love the escapism of these novels set in Botswana and the wry humour. I also love the numerous mentions of cake, much adored by the “traditionally built” heroine Precious Ramotswe. Mma Potokwani is a formidable woman who runs the orphanage. She is known for…

It is great to know that the best preserved fruits can be sourced from France and Italy and they are in great demand especially…

Genoa Cake is an English-style fruitcake made with glacé cherries. It's very easy to prepare as you need only one day to macerate…
