Sweet Heart

A collection of recipes to satisfy every sweet craving from the legendary baker and author behind Beatrix Bakes

What does your sweet heart desire? Perhaps something fruity or tangy? Maybe something creamy or nutty? Something dark and bitter? Fluffy and flaky?

This question is often more important than what type of cake, cookie or tart to bake, and that's why Sweet Heart is 'chapter-ised' by flavour craving

From the perfect sour cream scones to the peanut butter chiffon cake of your dreams, these recipes cover the classics and the inspired flavour twists – all so heart-burstingly good, each bite will make you weep with joy

Here, the legendary baker behind Beatrix Bakes serves up some of her most straightforward recipes yet – many can be whipped up simply with hand beaters (think Banana crunch cake and Fluffy chocolate mousse) – along with treats for those in the mood for a baking adventure (Raspberry jelly lamingtons, Six-layer honey rye & chai cake) and everything in between (Cashew baklava fingers, The Beatrix Bakes featherlight sponge cake)

Featuring a concise 'bake-tionary' and top tips derived from decades of baking wisdom, along with Nat's classic Adaptrix advice so you can mix and match to your dessert desire's delight, Sweet Heart is a collection to hold close always
