I go through a lot of cinnamon and I prefer Saigon Cinnamon. I find it is sweeter, vibrant it taste and smell than other cinnamon types I tried. It's without a question my favorite baking spice.

Easy Peach Lekvar Recipe
I've learned the hard way that store bought jams, preserves don't hold up in the heat of the oven, they run all over, and out of the pastries. Most of jams and preserves have agents like pectin, thickeners and when exposed to hear they become very fluid. To avoid a runny mess I make my own Peach Lekvar, I make it thick and it's delicious on a piece of bread but I mainly use it to make Moravian
30 Cookie Design Ideas with 1 Cookie Cutter
Few weeks back I challenged myself to create 30 different cookie designs using just one cookie cutter shape. Shape I had in mind is super cute Strawberry Cutter by Callye of SugarBelle. I love cutters that are versatile and have more to offer than just one design.

Buttermilk slow cooker cake
Ingredients
200g self raising flour
200ml buttermilk
125g caster sugar
2 eggs
100g butter or margarine, I like to use Bertolli
Optional topping -Clotted cream and berries
Method
1. First make sure you have a deep cake tin that fits inside your slow cooker. Scrunch up a bit of cooking foil and place at the bottom of the slow cooker
2. Grease and line the base of your cake tin with baking parchment.
3. Beat the Bertolli and caster sugar together until light and fluffy either in a free standing mixer with a paddle attachment .
4. Add the eggs one at a time adding a large spoonful of flour after each addition and beating really well, add more flour if to starts to curdle.
5. Beat in the remaining flour and then the Buttermilk.
6. Pour into the lined tin.
7. Pop the tin inside the slow cooker. Place on the lid and then cook on high until cooked.
8. Sorry this bit is a bit vague but it all depends on your slow cooker. Mine only took an hour. It will not be at all brown on the top so it is hard to tell if its cooked but if you insert a knife into the middle and it comes out clean it is cooked.
9. You may need to wipe the lid with kitchen paper towards the end to absorb condensation.
10. Once cooked turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool and then cover with clotted cream, cream, fruit or just a dusting of icing sugar.
