With Christmas fast approaching, it was about time I got my festive baking on!

While at home, I kept thinking about this loaf that my friend baked and shared on her instagram last week... It looked so moist and delicious that I had to message her and ask for the recipe - which she did!

It's a SUPER yummy looking Blueberry and Lemon Loaf (I don't know if it's called that, but I thought I'd name it that) which my friend got off one of her mutual friends on insta (who's apparently insta famous now - what??).

The last time I baked was the last time I blogged about it...

Which was in May. What?

And now that Bake Off is over, I thought I'd kick myself into getting a move on into creating new bakes.

What better way then to try out a new recipe (and kind of adapt it?) from Zoe Sugg's book Cordially Invited??

SO when you guys are reading this, it'll be my birthday in two days...

And I'll be 22 OH MY FREAKING GOSH.

This year I decided instead of buying a cake (as the supermarket ones weren't doing it for me this year), I'd go ahead and bake my own!

And the above pic is the result. Nom nom.

Over the bank holiday, the bake off bug overtook me and I literally CRAVED baking the best most delicious sugary and chocolatey three layer cake for Easter eveeer!

On Saturday, that's what I did!

It has been SO FREAKING HOT in London recently. We're talking around twenty eight degrees guys.

And I was in one of those moods where I didn't want to actually bake, but I really wanted to do something because I was bored lol.

SO I turned to my trusty Tanya Bakes recipe book from Tanya Burr and stumbled across this super easy and fuss free recipe. It's a lemon slice cake but involves very few things and NO BAKING TIME! (Tanya says she took it from her friend's mum, so all thanks to her you're the best!)
