Ingredients (makes about 12 rolls)

Dough:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp of salt
1/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of water
2 1/2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
1 large egg
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted

Filling:
5 tablespoons of unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Glaze:
1 cup of icing sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons of orange juice
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Method

1- In a large bowl, stick all ingredients to make the dough. Mix well using your hands and form a ball. If it’s too sticky, add some more flour. Leave the dough n the bowl, cover with a towel and let the dough rise for 1 hour 30, or until it doubles in size.

2- For the filling: In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the butter, honey, sugar, cinnamon and salt until smooth.

3- To make the rolls: Lightly flour your work surface and drop the dough onto it. Roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 40cm x 25cm) that’s about 3mm thick. Spread the filling onto the dough, being sure to stop 1,5cm before the edge so the filling doesn’t ooze out when you roll it.
Roll the dough toward you and transfer the large roll to a cutting board. Slice 2cm rolls using a sharp knife.
Transfer the rolls in a 20cm diameter baking pan and cover with a towel to rise for the second time, around 1 hour.

4- Preheat the oven at 175°C. When the oven is preheated, add the rolls and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden brown.

5- To make the glaze: whisk together the icing sugar, orange juice and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the glaze on top of the warm rolls and serve!

Ingredients (Makes a medium-sized loaf):

Loafcake

330ml full fat coconut milk
150 g of desiccated coconut
200 g of sugar
2 eggs, beaten
220 g of self-raising flour
120 g whole frozen raspberries
2 tsp of vanilla extract
1 tbsp of coconut oil

Toppings

3 tbsp of raspberry jam (for finishing)
1 tbsp of desiccated coconut (for finishing)
A handful of raspberries (for finishing)

Method

Preheat your oven to 175°C.

In a large mixing bowl combine the coconut milk, dessicated coconut, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in with a wooden spoon.

Sift over the flour and stir, and finally fold in the frozen raspberries, the mixture will be thick.

Line a loaf tin measuring around 10cm x 20cm, grease with coconut oil, then lay a 2 to 3 inch wide sheet of baking paper across the middle and up and out of the sides — this is to lift the cake out with later.

Spoon the mixture in to the loaf tin and place in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted in to the centre comes out clean.

Leave the cake in its tin for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edge to loosen it and carefully lift it out using the baking paper. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Once it’s cold, spread the raspberry jam over the top of the loaf and scatter with more desiccated coconut. Add the raspberries to it and serve!
