A Cup of Tea and Cake’s chocolate maple pistachio cake

Crafted by the creator of A Cup of Tea and Cake, this divine recipe blends chocolate with the earthy notes of pistachio and is sure to be a hit with most chocolate lovers this Mother’s Day.

Grind the pistachios in a food processor and mix with pure Canadian maple sugar, butter, and vanilla before adding ground almonds for a textured and nutty taste, then bake in the oven until golden.

Decorate with some finely chopped pistachios and slice and serve with a dollop of crème fraiche for your guests.

Maple bread and butter pudding

A warm and decadent dessert that Mum will enjoy is the maple bread and butter pudding, featuring layered slices of apples and brioche bread — perfect for the cooler days.

Start by combining the sugar and butter in a pan before adding peeled slices of apples until the heat has softened the fruit before adding to an ovenproof dish and layering with brioche bread.

Combine the cream, milk, eggs and pure maple syrup in a stand mixer and pour the mixture over the tender apples and brioche bread, leaving it to soak before baking for an hour. Brush the top layer with pure maple syrup and place under the grill until golden brown. Although it may take a bit longer, this recipe is well worth the wait!
