Weekend Bake
A fun birthday cake for children, this crunchy chocolate delight requires two 18cm sandwich cake tins and a bag of Maltesers – so best to hide them before baking, as they won’t last long otherwise! Don’t worry if the cakes crack a little on the surface, as they will be covered with the chocolate icing anyway.
This autumn why not try your hand at chocolate apples rather than the traditional toffee apple treats? Use a sweet apple such as Pink Lady or Gala for maximum flavour and always supervise children if they are helping you to cook. You should also leave the chocolate covered apples to cool before placing in the fridge to set.
Light, airy muffins are always a favourite in the Rangemaster kitchen and we love these blueberry versions with a sweet cinnamon topping. Simple enough for novice cooks, they make perfect lunchbox fillers and teatime treats – you could always leave the cinnamon out if you’re not a fan and swap the blueberries for raspberries if you’d prefer.
Imagine serving your very own homemade jam with breakfast in the morning. Well now you can with this simple recipe for blueberry conserve. It only takes four ingredients plus water and is ready in just 25 minutes. Serve with warmed croissants for a weekend family brunch or slather on hot buttered toast for pure early morning indulgence.
If you’ve always wondered what to do with slightly over ripe bananas, these mouthwatering muffins offer a tasty alternative to the usual banana bread option. It’s a great recipe for using up store cupboard essentials; just keep an eye on the hazelnuts when roasting to make sure they don’t burn and be sure to use clear rather than set honey, as it makes the process easier.

This is a basic biscuit recipe that you can choose the flavouring for. There are lots of Halloween shaped cookie cutters in the shops so you can make pumpkins, cats, ghosts, bats and lots of other Halloween related shapes. This amount will make about 10 biscuits depending upon the cutter size you use, so double up the recipe if you need more. You can now buy coloured icing ready-made, to squeeze onto the iced biscuits, great for those little hands to try! These biscuits can also be dipped into melted chocolate, great for the pumpkins and bats!
A perfect Valentines treat!
To make these fun Easter cakes you can either make your own fondant icing chicks to decorate the cakes or buy some fluffy yellow ones instead. Ready coloured fondant icing is now available from most supermarkets. The fondant, writing icing and colourings are readily available from supermarkets.

To celebrate St Patrick’s Day in style we decided to try something a little different! Barmbrack is a traditional Irish loaf, usually served at Halloween. This treat will no doubt be eaten quickly but will keep for about 10 days if needed. Toast a slice and lather it in butter for an extra indulgence!

Wonderfully moist and tangy, this zesty cake can be made with seedless clementines, satsumas or tangerines, depending what’s in season. It’s a lovely summer pudding made from polenta and natural yogurt, which makes it one of the healthier options, too. You’ll know it’s cooked when an inserted skewer comes out clean – about an hour should do it.
An Italian flat bread ideal for dipping into olive oil and balsamic vinegar!
You don’t have to wait for Easter to enjoy these fruity teatime treats – why not make your own to eat all year round?
