Sweet spice blend adds a lovely gentle warmth to this traditional pudding. The tartness of the rhubarb melts wonderfully into mellowness of the sweet spices for a delicious twist on the traditional crumble.

All you need is one bowl and a loaf tin, throw all the ingredients into together, perfect for school lunchboxes. Its all budget friendly, with no eggs and only a small amount of butter.

Spice Chocolate Cake

We couldn't have a list of recipes without chocolate involved!  And this cake does not disappoint, rich and indulgent and could quite easily be served as a dessert with a dollop ice-cream. Using our sweet spice blend as a gentle and warming after glow, spices and chocolate go so well together, this is a real must if you love chocolate cakes.

Decadent Plum Cake

We love to cook with seasonal produce and as we roll into Autumn this recipe is perfect with plums in full season. Its also a great cake for serving for afternoon tea or at a dinner party dressed with softly whipped cream or ice cream. The cooked plums become rich and sticky combined with the sweetness and full flavour of the spices, its a really beautifully flavoured and interesting cake.
