Our Favourite Recipes
We have included some recipes for our very favourites cakes here in Ella’s Barn. The recipes have stood the test of time and are those we used daily at the Barn. All firm customer favourites!
Indulgent Chocolate Brownies
These brownies are a super indulgent chocolatey hit. If they make it into the freezer, they also freeze really well.
Apple Tart with Walnut Crumble
We think you'll love this Apple Tart with Walnut Crumble. This is a wonderful combination of crunchy, nutty crumble with a deep filled slice of apple tart.
Chocolate Cheesecake
I like a really light cheesecake, especially for a dessert when a heavier cheesecake can just be too much. This cheesecake is almost like a mousse and is VERY moreish!
Carrot Cake
Not sure this cake is healthy, but I am sure that it is tasty and this is my favourite cake of all! This recipe is very moist due to the crushed pineapple and it freezes beautifully.
Our 'tried and tested' chocolate cake
This chocolate cake recipe is almost fail-safe and very easy to do with young bakers. Lovely and light and also freezes very well.
How to make Emma's Pavlova
I have been making pavlova for friends and family for many years but it is only now I have finally sat down and written it into a recipe!
