This spiced apple cake is a warmly fragrant, tender crumb sponge layered with soft chunks of apple and finished with a light, golden crust dusted in cinnamon sugar. The warming spices, mainly cinnamon, mixed spice, and a hint of nutmeg, work into every bite, while the apple keeps the sponge moist long after it has…
This Mary Berry Dutch Apple Cake is a tender, golden sponge layered with soft cinnamon-spiced apple slices and finished with a lightly crisp, sugar-dusted top that catches the light when it comes out of the oven. The crumb is moist and close-textured, holding just enough sweetness to let the tartness of the apple shine through…
This ginger tray bake is a warmly spiced, tender sponge with a soft, close crumb and a fudgy icing that sets to a smooth, matte finish on top. The combination of ground ginger and black treacle gives the bake a deep, amber colour and a gently warming heat that lingers without being sharp. What makes…
This Mary Berry chocolate torte cake is a dense, fudgy dessert with a glossy, crackled top and a soft, almost brownie-like centre. The texture sits somewhere between a set mousse and a rich flourless cake, with a deep, bittersweet cocoa flavour that lingers on the palate. It slices cleanly, holds its shape beautifully on the…
This marble cake is a beautifully swirled vanilla and chocolate sponge with a soft, even crumb and a faintly crisp golden crust. Each slice reveals ribbons of pale cream and deep cocoa running through the centre, baked into a tender, close-textured loaf that holds its shape cleanly when sliced. It is the kind of bake…
This coconut cake is a pale golden sponge with a soft, close crumb and a gentle sweetness that comes through with every bite.

This plum cake has a tender, golden crumb with a slight moisture running through it from the fruit, and a warm spiced aroma that fills the kitchen as it bakes. The plums soften into jammy pockets throughout the sponge, giving each slice a burst of sweet-sharp flavour against the buttery base. It is a reliable…
This yoghurt cake has a close, moist crumb with a lightly golden crust and a gentle tang that keeps each slice from tasting too sweet. The texture is somewhere between a classic Victoria sponge and a pound cake, tender throughout and sliceable even when completely cold. It holds together well, making it easy to serve…
This chocolate mousse cake is a striking layered dessert with a dense, fudgy sponge base topped by a cloud-light chocolate mousse that sets firm enough to slice cleanly, yet melts into a silky, bittersweet finish on the tongue. It is the kind of showstopper that looks elaborate but comes together with straightforward steps and no…
A Swiss roll is a light, springy sponge with a pale golden surface that rolls up around a generous layer of softly whipped cream and sweet strawberry jam. The crumb is tender and airy, the filling cool and lightly set, and when sliced, each round reveals a neat, even spiral that looks far more impressive…
