Chocolate and clementine come together here in a deliciously light 'rocky' bun. For an extra chocolatey orange touch why not drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the cakes? Green and Black's Maya gold (orange and spices), or organic milk chocolate orange flavour would work wonderfully!

Ever have those days where you want to make something easy, and not even bother switching on the oven? Yep, me too! This key lime pie is delicious, and so easy to make. I can guarantee you won't ever have any leftovers!
You can make this on days where you can't bear to switch on the oven as it's so hot, or in the depths of winter as the ginger biscuit base with a hint of cinnamon complement each other nicely.

Coconut, pineapple and rum... is there a more heavenly combination in the summer? Pina coladas remind me of sunshine, lying on the beach, impromptu drinks made with ice cream at BBQs and tiki bars.
If you can't indulge in the cocktail, have a go at these cakes because they're almost as good as the real thing!
Lady Grey tea has a delicate flavour, with hints of oranges and lemons.
I found some in the supermarket and thought I'd try tea infused cakes after seeing a recipe on Emily Kate Makes.
They turned out very light and tasty, and perfect for afternoon tea of course!
After making these cakes I'm tempted to try again with Tetley's Earl Grey and vanilla, or Twinings Lavender Earl Grey. So many teas, so little time!
