This is certainly a one-size fits all dessert: with ingredients like maple syrup, fresh whipped cream and strawberries, it's a hard dessert not to like.

Neon? Bring it on! This unconventional cake is filled with nutrient-packed avocados and comes topped with a vibrant raspberry glaze.

Comforting, sticky and delicious, this chocolate loaf is right up there with perfect-for-comfort desserts like sticky toffee pudding and crumbly apple crisp.

It starts its life, simply, as a flat sponge cake in a baking sheet. Rolled up and covered in silky buttercream, it looks rather like a barrel. Cut into it, however — revealing the stripes! — and it looks like a whole lot of vertically inclined (and very colourful) fun. - Yotam Ottolenghi & Helen Goh, Sweet.
