Another great traybake recipe from Mary Berry. If you like baking and haven’t already got a copy of Mary Berry’s Baking Bible you really must buy a copy! I now turn to this book first when I feel like baking especially if I don’t have much time to bake. I’m also confident trying new recipes even if I have guests coming over because I know it will turn out well each time. These proved very popular
