Don't you just love trunks like this? They are beautiful, elegant and very easy to portion, I like that, so there are no fights and each diner gets a portion as large or as small as they want. That later there is always someone who says I want less, I want more … you are like children.

You will forgive me, I know that nowadays there are plenty of wonderful frozen desserts to beat the heat. An immense range of flavours, textures, colours... But I am a romantic and, despite enjoying everything new and novel, I cannot do without the sweets of a lifetime. That is why this summer we cannot stop making this Frozen Whiskey Cake and dust off good childhood memories.

Back in World War II, two Canadian officers were staying at a hotel in the northeast of England, where they gave a recipe for a pudding to the owner of the hotel; and it makes sense what they tell us that its origin is not English but Canadian, since the dough is more similar to that of an American muffin than to that of a delicate English sponge cake. I'm talking about the delicious sticky toffee pudding.

Usually, this is a cake that I make in a 20-22 cm diameter pan, but when I wake up unorthodox I start to innovate and today was one of those days. That's why I've thrown out my individual Emile Henry crème brûlée moulds, which have me crazy in love, and I've decided to prepare the pink apple cake individually. The presentation gains a lot and the oven time is reduced by less than half, two good advantages to consider.

I bring you a recipe that will leave an irresistible smell in your house, it will be the ideal accompaniment for Sunday breakfasts and it can also be turned into a small homemade gift to surprise on these dates . Sounds good?

Days are approaching when our kitchen will be at full capacity and, it is one of those moments, in which knowing a simple recipe that solves a Christmas dessert or breakfast for us is received with open arms.

With this chocolate and egg yolk bundt cake, we open the oven season and delicious biscuits at home. Bundts are something that children are passionate about, because they are amazed at their shape and silhouette and a way to look amazing if you are going to give them away or if you have guests at home.

Despite the bad reputation that British cuisine has, it is undeniable that pastries are tremendously rich and varied. Years ago, during my time as an English student, I discovered her and fell at her feet ipso facto, but it was not until I adopted a British family as a policy that my eyes were opened to homemade sweets. They are another world.

A tender and delicious cake, with which you will surely succeed if you give it that beautiful finish.
