I think all the time that I spend scrolling through instagram finally paid off because an instagram post inspired me to create this recipe. I guess it isn't a recipe as much as a combination of recipes, but as soon as I saw that photo of a peanut butter ice cream sandwich I just knew I had to make a vegan version. I've shared a version of this banana ice cream recipe before but I'm surprised that

I have a confession to make.. I am not a morning person. I'm not good at getting up early and neither am I good at going to bed on time so I'm always in a rush in the mornings. When I have lectures in the out-of-town campus I like to walk, but it takes 40 minutes, and I always end up leaving 30 minutes before my lectures start so I have to power walk and grab breakfast when I get there.

It was one of my favourite things that we made in cooking lessons at school (we made a lot of cake and pizza.. this was clearly before school's decided to teach kids how to eat healthily) and it's the perfect combination of biscuit and cake. It's sweet without being sickly and indulgent without being too rich. The recipe that I'm going to show

Even though it's summer now, on cloudy days I still feel like curling up under a blanket and eating lots of donuts, so I made some! Well, sort of. I don't have a donut baking tray (although it's definitely on my wishlist now) so I improvised and baked my mixture in a muffin tray. These treats are like a cross between a cake and a donut, hence "cakenut"! They're light and fluffy, tart and sweet at
