I’ve been running Bake It Better for 4 years and have tried different styles of filming and recipe formats throughout this time. This archive houses all my older videos and recipes before I moved to a Two Tier recipe format in September 2023

Welcome to Bake it Better



This month: Ladyfinger Desserts
This month we are focusing on ladyfingers. These sweet sponge biscuits are the base of so many desserts, but can be tricky to master, especially getting them neat and consistent. I’ve had a fair few mishaps with them before (including my book photoshoot!) but with the guidance of these recipes you’ll get them perfect every time.
Of course, if making ladyfingers from scratch isn’t your thing you can swap them out for shop bought ladyfingers – I won’t judge!
Tier 1
I couldn’t make ladyfingers and not use them in a tiramisu! In Tier 1 we keep the technique of a tiramisu very classic – no cream! But I’ve mixed things up with a chocolate orange flavour. You soak your homemade ladyfingers biscuits in espresso, and layer them between orange mascarpone cream and chocolate shavings. This is a great dessert you can make ahead of time.
Tier 2
Here we take the precision of the ladyfingers to another level, using them to decorate the outside of this berry charlotte cake. When piping them, we want to get them as neat and as even as possible so making the Tier 1 tiramisu is a great place to build your confidence. The charlotte cake has a light berry mousse, with two layers of the lady fingers covered in raspberry jam, and it’s finished with a smooth mascarpone cream. This is frozen overnight and takes a little while to defrost, so keep those timings in mind.
If you have any questions, please email me or ask them on the private Facebook group. As always, I’d love to see your creations!
