A thicker layer of salted caramel in the layers, soft whipped ganache and finished with Hershey's salted Pecan Chocolate Shards. YUMMY they all said.

So happy everyone raved... but there's always room for improvement =D

Nerve-wracking when you least expect it! What if my layers turn out uneven? What if the cake is too dry or too dense? What if the caramel is soaked up and doesn't leave distinguished layers? So many little things run through your mind... but this turned out so well. And now, I count the endless possibilities that this cake can make! 

Here we have 4 layers from vanilla to caramel to choc caramel to chocolate, sandwiched with gooey delicious salted caramel frosting and finished with whipped chocolate ganache. It sounds very sweet but the added use of natural (home made, I might add) yoghurt and almond meal brings upon a balanced texture and flavour. A new favourite of ours!

Two examples of tea time favourites that can be made from scratch, in and out of the oven in less than an hour. That's efficiency.

ANZAC biscuits are always a crowd favourite and they last forever. Our version is crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. If you adjust the amount of golden syrup, you can get crunchy or chewy biscuits depending on your preference. Simple, staple ingredients of flour, sugar, coconut, oats and butter. Throw in nuts and dried fruit for a twist!

Friands. Another one of those french desserts that are "Aussie favourites". I'll be the first to admit that this is the first time I've ever made them. But they're light and springy and packed with almond, coconut and blueberries. They're sort of another take on a muffin - some might even argue that it's the healthier version since almond meal rather than flour (protein vs carbs) make up the body of this little treat. They're so easy to make as well so a great idea for when guests just 'drop by'.
