Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180˚C (160˚C fan), weigh and prepare all your ingredients in advance.

Step 2

Place the butter in a heatproof bowl and melt over a small pan of simmering water (the bowl should not touch the water). When the butter is almost entirely melted through, add in the chopped up chocolate, stirring occasionally until entirely melted. Set the bowl aside.

Step 3

In a food processor (or using a hand mixer), whisk the eggs, caster sugar and light brown sugar for 5 minutes (best to set a timer for this).

Step 4

Pour the butter and chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add in 4/5 of the orange zest, leaving a little aside. Mix until well combined for approximately 1 minute.

Step 5

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and sieved cocoa powder together. Add this to the wet mixture and mix for as little as possible, until evenly combined.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon, or ideally an ice cream scoop, place evenly sized dollops of the dough onto a lined baking tray. Leave space between each cookie, as they will expand when baking. Flake a little coarse salt on each one and place the tray in the oven.

Step 7

Bake for 11-12 minutes. The cookies should have crinkles, and the edges should be crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven, sprinkle the remaining orange zest on and leave to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

We knew it was going to be a showstopper, but this might be bordering on an eye-popper!

A picture-perfect cake tower, this delicate and airy sponge is bursting with summer's juiciest berries and scattered with crystallized rose petals...

In other words, it's a big shindig-only bake, so don't go hiding it away! It deserves to be seen! Recipe in bio.
Wow @georgiahearn__ knows what people like... chocolate and pudding!

A whole day dedicated to one TEA!

Yes it's here, National Tea Day and the ideal time to share one of our favourite shortbread recipes using fragrant Earl Grey tea. 

Here's how to make Earl Grey & Lemon Shortbread:

Prep Time – 30 mins (4 hours to chill)
Yield – 12 – 16 (dependant on the size of your cutters)

Ingredients 

Biscuits
50g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
2 tbsp of Earl Grey Tea
220g plain flour
Pinch of salt

Icing
A squeeze of lemon
100g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar

Instructions

Combine your tea leaves and butter, leaving overnight preferably to infuse. You can cover in a bowl and leave to the side as this mix shouldn’t be chilled.
Add your butter mix to a bowl your sugar and combine, then add the flour salt until a dough forms
Roll out your dough mix until even – about half an inch thick and cut with your biscuit cutter.
Pop onto a baking sheet and into a preheated oven at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas mark 4/ 350°F and bake for 15 mins. Keep and eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Whilst they cool make your icing and then drizzle generously once the biscuits are completely cold.

Just squeeze a bit of lemon juice in your standard whole or semi-skimmed if you're ever in need.
