Chocolate Fudge Cake by The Fat Foodie

This recipe for chocolate fudge cake kind of came about by accident because I was on autopilot making a coffee and walnut cake the other day and as I was pouring my cake batter into my two cake tins I realised that I’d added cocoa powder into the mix without even realising. I clearly enjoy chocolate cake far too much!

Lemon and Coconut Cookies by The Fat Foodie

I love lemon in cookies because I think the fruity flavour lifts the rich, buttery biscuit and makes it taste really fresh and light. It’s also particularly good when combined with the exotic flavour of coconut because the two tastes working together really sing, so these lemon and coconut cookies are the ideal combination then!
