This family favourite cake was a success on our radio feature, The Breakfast Bake-off , this week, as Presenter Matt James made... Pineapple upside-down cake! Marketing Manager Eleanor rated it an 8 -out-of-10 which is a brilliant score for Matt James as this is something his mum made for him growing up and has a lot of sentimental value! Digital Content Creator Georgina rated it a 6.5-out-of-10 as she felt like something was missing from it... CUSTARD ! Tune into tomorrow's Breakfast show as Georgina will be trying it with custard! We didn't want you to miss out so check out this recipe to make your own pineapple upside-down cake: For the topping: 50 g softened butter 50g light soft brown sugar 7 pineapple rings in syrup, drained and syrup reserved 7 glacé cherries For the cake: 100g softened butter 100g golden caster sugar 100g self-raising flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 eggs Instructions: Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. For the topping, beat 50g softened butter and 50g light soft brown sugar together until creamy. Spread over the base and a quarter of the way up the sides of a 20cm round cake tin. Arrange 7 pineapple rings on top (reserving the syrup for later), then place 7 glacé cherries in the centres of the rings. Place 100g softened butter, 100g golden caster sugar, 100g self-raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 eggs in a bowl along with 2 tbsp of the reserved pineapple syrup. Using an electric whisk, beat to a soft consistency. Spoon into the tin on top of the pineapple and smooth it out so it’s level. Bake for 35 mins. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then turn out onto a plate. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream. You can listen back to any of our shows via the Listen Again function on our app - it's free to download! Enjoy your pineapple upside-down cake! Don't forget to tag us in anything online - we want to see your Monday bake-off creations!
Artist name: KX Genre: R&B / Pop / Afrofusion Latest single: Overthinking Latest album: Upcoming EP entitled 'Skin' to be released in 2024. South-East London singer-songwriter and model KX is a renaissance woman through and through. With honey-dipped harmonies that span genre and tone: KX's talent is indelible. The BBC Radio 1Xtra co-signed 1:A.M. EP is exemplary of KX’s soul-nourishing gifts. The songstress takes listeners on an R&B-infused stroll through her mind, full of introspective lyrics and sharp refrains. Since her debut, KX has brushed paths with Mutya Buena (of the Sugababes), Angel, Ayo Beatz, Davinche, Wretch 32, Josh Kumra, The FaNaTiX, and most recently Peter Andre, to name a few. It's not just her pen or vocal chops, either. KX is a natural live performer. Often hitting the stage with steadfast confidence and killer on-stage looks, she's torn up UK Garage sets at Wembley Arena, rocked the crowd at Now That's a Festival and performed alongside legendary acts like Blackstreet and Dru Hill during the one-and-only R&B Sundays gig. Now dead-set on her second body of work, KX is back in the studio. Once again using genre as her paintbrush, expect the forthcoming project to flirt with party-starting Afrobeat chords, silky, upbeat affirmations and spacey R&B arrangements. Check out the full interview with presenter Sophie Montague! Instagram: @kx_officialuk Twitter: @kx_officialuk TikTok: @kx_officialuk

Friday, 15th March marks a big day for Chelsea in the Women’s Super League: the last game in the league that takes place at Stamford Bridge this season, and the chance to revenge the recent 4-1 defeat to Arsenal (December 2023). To add more flavour to the mix, it’s Chelsea manager Emma Hayes’ last season in charge. With both teams close at the top of the table, it could be a potential title-deciding game for the league this season; in a packed stadium, the atmosphere will be electric. Bear witness to the potential return to the pitch of Catarina Macario (ma-car-rio) together with stars Lauren James and Millie Bright in action. Anticipated to be a lively game, watch the clash of the season take place at Stamford Bridge. This game is not to be missed and now is your chance to be a part of it!
