Just a little swimming update…at the beginning of the year I set myself the challenge of learning to swim properly. I could barely swim 10m and really struggled to get any momentum going. I took some lessons at my local leisure centre for a few months and tried to go swimming a couple of times a week to practice. I really started to enjoy it and actually began to be able to swim lengths. Cut to now and I go swimming 3 times a week swimming 500m each time (not all in one go but comfortably) and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! It’s never too late to learn a new skill or start a new hobby, I’m so glad I pushed myself, it’s been such a positive experience ❤️ Bring on the @superhero_series Tri in August, I’m ready!!!
#AD There really is no better way to show someone how much they mean to you than with a homemade bake, so that is exactly what Nora and I have done for @steve_brionys_husband on Father’s Day. It was lush to spend time baking with my little lady and Steve was delighted with his chocolate cake, his favourite! There are so many gorgeous recipes on the @droetkerbakes website to help you make special memories. Happy Father’s Day lovely hubby, you really are the best! #LittleMakesABigDifference #fathersday
Here it is!! First up in my seasonal recipes series…Apple Crumble Cake 🍎 I can tell you that this is one of the most delicious cakes I’ve ever made, it is EPIC!!! If you give this a go, please let me know. My family and friends love it, I hope yours do too!! ❤️ #seasontotaste
Apple Crumble Cake
Ingredients
Sponge
200g unsalted butter, softened
200g golden caster sugar
4 medium eggs
200g self raising flour
50g custard powder (optional)
2 apples (I used British Jazz)
1 tsp cinnamon
Crumble Topping
150g self raising flour
100g unsalted butter, cold
100g golden caster sugar
50g oats
50g demerara sugar
Method
Oven on to 180C. Grease and line a brownie tin.
Core the apples (no need to peel) then finely slice. Place in a bowl, add cinnamon and mix so that all the slices are covered.
Make the crumble topping. Cut the cold butter into small cubes then, in a mixing bowl, rub into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Mix through the sugar and oats. Set aside.
Make the sponge. Beat the butter until light and fluffy then add the sugar and beat until smooth. Add 2 eggs, beat, add half the flour and the custard powder, beat then repeat. Add the sliced apples and fold through the batter until they are well distributed.
Pour the sponge batter into the prepared tin and smooth down the top. Pour the crumble topping over the sponge then sprinkle on the demerara sugar. Bake for 40-45 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Serve warm with custard or ice cream or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Very excited to see 24 Hours in Tesco on Netflix today!!! And it’s no. 3 in films! We filmed this last year and it was originally on Channel 5. I did a cookie taste test with a lovely choir to see which ones they preferred 🍪 It was made by Honey Bee Media and directed by the amazing @alicewickhamstudio ❤️ Thank you so much @_the_mason_ for the heads up that it was there!!
#AD Calling all parents and carers looking to spend quality time with your little ones this May Half-Term! We had a really fun afternoon at Nana’s giving the Spectacular Science (Solar System) baking kit from @droetkerbakes a go. Nana loved having Nora and her cousins’ round for a little bit of baking and there were smiles and laughs all around. The kit is an easy, affordable and educational way to get the kids baking! So give it a try and tag me and @droetkerbakes to show off your stellar creations. #LittleMakesABigDifference #HalfTerm
