Eunice Power’s cranberry and orange cake 🍊 😋
Celebrity Chef
Irish Yoghurt Clonakilty Cranberry and Orange Cake.
Ingredients
Cake
- 125g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra to grease
- 200g caster sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- ½ orange zest and juice
- 1 tsp vanilla bean extract
- 250g plain flour
- 1 heaped tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp mixed spice
- 100g Irish Yoghurt Clonakilty Greek Style Yoghurt, plus extra to serve
- 150g fresh cranberries
Topping
- 150g fresh cranberries
- ½ orange, juice
- 60g caster sugar
- 150g icing sugar
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a 23cm springform round tin with baking parchment.
2. Cream together the butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy.
3. In a jug, combine the beaten eggs, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla.
4. Add this mixture to the creamed butter in 3–4 additions, fully incorporating each before adding more.
5. Fold in the flour, baking powder and mixed spice.
6. Fold in the Irish Yogurt Clonakilty Greek Style Yogurt until the batter is smooth.
7. Transfer ¼ of the batter to the tin. Scatter a handful of cranberries in a line over this layer.
8. Fold the remaining cranberries into the rest of the batter and spoon into the tin.
9. Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
10. Leave the cake in the tin for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Topping
1. Heat the cranberries, orange juice and caster sugar in a small pan for about 5 minutes until half the berries have popped and the rest are softened.
2. Strain through a fine sieve, reserving the softened fruit.
3. Mix 2–3 tablespoons of the strained liquid with the icing sugar to make a thick icing.
4. Stir the softened fruit into the remaining strained liquid.
5. Pour and spread the icing over the cooled cake and allow it to drip slightly down the sides.
6. Top with the softened fruit.
Serving suggestion: Serve with a spoonful of Irish Yogurt Clonakilty Greek Style Yogurt.
Chefs’ tips:
- If the batter begins to curdle while adding the egg mixture, add a spoonful of the flour mixture — it stabilises the batter and keeps the cake light.
- Scatter a little orange zest over the icing for a bright, fragrant finish.
- For a decorative flourish, add a few candied rosemary stalks on top. To make these, dip fresh rosemary sprigs lightly in sugar syrup, then toss in caster sugar and allow to dry — they look frosted and pair beautifully with the cranberry flavour.

- CREPE PIZZA PANCAKE TUESDAY 🍕🥞 FOLLOW @babyledfeeding for easy baby led weaning recipes that you can also eat as a busy parent too!
This is one of the best Pancake Tuesday recipes I’ve ever made. It’s so quick and easy and amazing if you are a busy mum and don’t want to stand at the cooker flipping pancakes for hours…which usually is what happens in my house.
As a baby led weaning finger food, cut into thin strips, making sure the peppers are really soft, then serve with a side of fruit and a preloaded spoon with something like thick Greek yogurt.
All of the ingredients are from your local @dunnesstores. Comment RECIPE and I’ll send the recipe straight to your DMs.

Creamy Chicken & Spinach Pasta | I love recipes that come with a dash of nostalgia and this one never fails to deliver. In what now feels like another life, I was in a band with my Swedish pal Jonathan and, while staying at his place, I picked up this great recipe from his family. Ingredients from @dunnesstores 💛

300g tagliatelle
1 tbsp olive oil
A knob of butter
400g skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thick strips

50g ready-to-use sun-dried tomatoes
150g baby spinach leaves
250ml single cream
Parmesan shavings, to serve
Basil leaves, to serve
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan and, when foaming, fry the chicken for about 4–6 minutes or until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper before adding the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and fry until the spinach has wilted.
2. Add the cream and bring to a steady simmer for 3–4 minutes. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the sauce. Toss well and serve straightaway with some fresh basil leaves & Parmesan shavings.6d

110g(4oz) onion, chopped
150g(5oz) potatoes, chopped

1.2litres (2 pints/5 cups) homemade light chicken or vegetable stock
62ml(2 1/2fl oz/generous 1/4 cup) creamy milk, (optional)
3 teaspoons freshly chopped spearmint
Garnish
a little lightly whipped cream or crème fraiche
sprigs of spearmint
Melt the butter and when it foams add the chopped vegetables, season with salt and freshly ground pepper and sugar. Add a sprig of mint, cover with a butter paper (to retain the steam) and a tight fitting lid.Leave to sweat gently on a low heat for about 10 minutes approx.Remove the lid, add the boiling stock and cook until the vegetables are soft. Pour into the liquidiser, add 3 teaspoons of freshly chopped mint and puree until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Adda little creamy milk if necessary.

Ginger & Lime Baked Cheesecake with Irish Strawberry Compote
Ingredients (Serves 6-8)
For The Base:
2 Packs of Simply Better Handmade Oat & Ginger Cookies, crushed
75g Butter, plus extra for greasing
For The Compote:
1 Bag of Simply Better Expertly Grown Frozen Irish Strawberries
250ml Simply Better Handmade Irish Raspberry & Wexford Rhubarb Cordial
For the Filling:
3 Simply Better Free Range Corn Fed Large Eggs
500g Cream Cheese
100g Caster Sugar
1Tbsp Cornflour
Finely Grated Rind and Juice of 2 Limes
1 Vanilla Pod, split in half lengthways and seeds scraped out
To Serve:
Simply Better Single Source Irish Jersey Cream, lightly whipped
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 160°C Lightly butter a 9inch loose-bottomed cake tin and line with non-stick baking or parchment paper.
2. To make the base, melt the butter in a pan set over a gentle heat. Add the crushed cookies and mix well. Spread the mixture over the base of the tin, pressing down with the back of a spoon to flatten. Place in the oven for 10 minutes to firm up.
3. Remove the tin from the oven and set aside. Place a dish of hot water in the oven on the bottom rack – this will stop a skin forming on the cheesecake. Place the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, lime rind and juice, vanilla seeds and cornflour in a mixing bowl and beat together until smooth with an electric whisk.
4. Pour this mixture into the cake tin and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 35-45 minutes until lightly golden. The filling should still be a bit wobbly at this stage. Turn off the oven, open the door and leave to cool completely. The filling will set as it cools.
5. To make the compote, place the leftover vanilla pod in a saucepan with the cordial and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened. Place the strawberries in the pan and poach the berries for 2-3 minutes until softened but still holding their shape. Remove the vanilla pod before serving.
6. To serve, slice the cheesecake into wedges and serve with some cream and the poached strawberries.
