Three sweet recipes in three simple ingredients
There are few things more satisfying than a slice of homemade cake. And, there are few things less satisfying than a long shopping list and a sink full of dishes.
We asked cookery writer Sarah Rainey how to make scrumptious bakes using just three simple ingredients. From sticky, honey-soaked baklava to creamy, lemony biscuits, if you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’re in for a treat.
Baklava
This Middle Eastern delicacy is full of crunchy nuts and drenched in sweet, nectar-like honey.

Gluten-Free Honey Cake
This simple, one-layer cake is dense, moist and syrupy. It uses almonds instead of flour, which gives it a rich, toasty texture, and whisked egg whites to give it height.
