10. Banana Caramel Upside Down Cake
We released this recipe over winter and couldn’t believe how many of you loved it! Retro baking is still very much on-trend, and the combination of caramelised brown sugar, cinnamon and bananas makes this one very special cake.
9. Vanilla Panna Cotta
A classic panna cotta is the perfect way to end a dinner party, and we can guarantee this recipe has been thoroughly tried and tested. Choosing premium ingredients is absolutely key, with fragrant vanilla as the hero flavour every time. Recipes rich in fat tend to coat your taste buds, meaning a stronger vanilla is necessary to get that delicious flavour hit. Queen Vanilla Bean Paste is the perfect choice!

Our much-loved Red Velvet Cheesecake Trifle has become something of a cult Christmas recipe over the past few years, and 2018 was no different. Scrolling through all your trifle photos in January made our return to work all the sweeter!

Oozing with a thick, creamy custard, this double-layered brioche cake won the hearts of our Queen Bakers. While it seems like a lengthy recipe, don’t let the time investment put you off; it’s well worth it for the end result.
6. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Chocolate and peanut butter is a match made in heaven, and we’re so glad you all agree. This recipe is perfect for weeknight baking, and a touch of sprinkles make an otherwise simple cookie look a little bit fancy.

Sheet cakes are so en vogue right now, and we couldn’t be happier! Easy to prep, decorate and serve, they’re the time-poor baker’s best friend. We released this recipe as a challenge to our Baking Club Facebook group, and couldn’t believe how many of you baked and loved it.

For bakers hunting down easy, crowd-pleasing desserts, our creamy Ginger Nut Cheesecake is a game changer! Whip it up without even turning on your oven, then decorate however you please. This recipe really look off during the strawberry crisis; we loved seeing your fabulously fruity cheesecakes pop up all over Facebook.
