Valentines Baking: Triple Chocolate Cookies and Ginger Cake with Caramel Frosting.

It was love at first taste for me with these Triple Chocolate Cookies last Valentines so we just had to make them again. But then Ginger Cake with Caramel Frosting has walked into my life. Fortunately, society doesn't demand monogamy when it comes to cake. Phew!

Triple Chocolate Cookies
I am still in love with these Triple Chocolate Cookies from the BBC Good Food Recipe: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/408617/triple-chocolate-cookies



Green and Blacks Chocolate makes these taste really creamy, although they are amazing full stop (I've tried them with lots of different chocolate brands this last year). 

You cannot go wrong as they are super easy to make. You might like to microwave the chocolate for just a short time rather than keeping it over the boil as it can burn and I recommend doing it in two batches (for storing into the mixture and then again for decorating the cookies later when they have cooled).  

Ginger Cake with Caramel Frosting


 This ginger cake is seductively light and moreish  The caramel frosting is a finger licking temptress. And together...they are truly irresistible. 


We wanted to use our super cute hexagon tin from Lakeland so we made buns to and adjusted down out cookie time for the cake and buns accordingly.

Instead of crystallised ginger we crushed pecans and sprinkled they on top. Next time we would stir chunks of them through the mixture too. I may even have to try carrot and ginger cake based on this recipe.

Thank you again to BBC Good Food for a lovely Valentines treat! http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3019676/ginger-cake-with-caramel-frosting

Happy Valentines! Cake Love, Fayerie Faye x
