The mother-of-two also revealed the recipe that gets the most love and attention from followers. "There's a particular recipe – my Malteser cake – that people often message me about, and they'll say things such as, 'I've made it for every birthday since my child was eight – and they're now 18!' It's so moving to be a part of someone's life in that way."
