Excerpted from Small Batch Bakes: Baking Cakes, Cookies, Bars and Buns for One to Six People by Edd Kimber. Step 3: To serve, dip the cookies halfway into the melted chocolate and then place back on the lined tray. To decorate pour over the melted and cooled white chocolate and finish with a few festive sprinkles. This cake was made with the flexible rubber ‘flexiVISP’ beater which scrapes both the sides and base of the mixer as it beats your ingredients together, which means it is more efficient and the bowl needs scraping down much less frequently than with a traditional metal beater. With the flavours of prunes, tea, molasses and rye flour, they are the best combination of sticky toffee pudding, teacake and gingerbread.

Speaking of small pleasures, that’s exactly what Kimber – who won the first ever series of The Great British Bake Off back in 2010 – has dedicated his sixth cookbook to. The white chocolate needs to have cooled but still be pourable, that way the chocolate doesn't just run immediately off the cake. Therecipes are varied and covereverything from comforting desserts like apple crumble through delicious layer cakes, something for all tastes and skill levels. Pour the glaze over the top of the cake, teasing it over the sides of the cake so it drips down the sides.To celebrate the release of the book I have partnered with Nordicware, Guittard Chocolate and Belazu to create a brilliant prize package. Thankfully, bicarbonate of soda can be used instead of lye, and if you bake it first, the results are surprisingly good. If you’re subscribed to Second Helpings, you’ll know that a pullman loaf pan produces loaves that are perfectly square, like this weeks post for Shokupan.

In the meantime, I will continue to feel grateful for Small Batch Bakes, and for its chocolate peanut butter cookies recipe in particular. The idea is that every single recipe is baked in the same 9x13 tin (its a classic brownie tin) making the required equipment so much lower than most baking books, hopefully making it more approachable. To get you all excited I wanted to share one of my favourites from the book, also one of the easiest, the raspberry cheesecake streusel bars. Let me tell you of the Lemon and Pistachio Posset; Peanut Butter, Chocolate Fondants; Cherries Jubilee Crêpes; or a One-Egg Pavlova for Two. For the filling, gently warm the jam in a pan until loose, then remove from the heat and mix with the raspberries, coating evenly.For the white chocolate, break it into small pieces and using either a microwave or a Bain Marie melt it together with the coconut oil.

There’s a single large “emergency” chocolate chip cookie, two (four-inch) tarte tatins, strawberries-and-cream eclairs for four, a six-inch chocolate layer cake with dulce de leche buttercream that’s meant to serve six. After that first post one of the main questions I received was, can it make more than bread (something it does better than any other domestic mixer I have ever tried), and the answer is of absolutely, yes! Following on from the huge success of One Tin Bakes and One Tin Bakes Easy, Great British Bake Off winner Edd Kimber's new book proves that good things really do come in small packages!Transfer to the prepared tray and cover lightly with clingfilm while you make another three pretzels in the same way. It is a brilliant ingredient and well worth tracking down for the occasions you want to make a version of this cake.
