Posted on September 7, 2026 by Sabrina

“I was impressed that it wasn’t very loud, the mixer has several speed settings as well as efficient and convenient ways of locking, unlocking and adjusting all aspects of the machine. By the time I had baked my first batch of cookie muffins the feeling of being intimidated had left me”. (Full Review Below).

Hello! I’m Sabrina! I am an Argos Tester, this means that I often get items sent to me for the purpose of an online review. I thoroughly test the products and take photographs of them before submitting my findings and honest thoughts over to Argos.

I have written this review about a product that I have been supplied for free, in order to test and then review it. This is my experience with said product and it is my honest review about the product listed below. At this time I have already submitted my review to the Argos Website, and it has been accepted on to live public view when this blog post has been published. Please see my review on the link to the Argos website. All words and photography within this article are my own.

My Full Review

As someone who has always wanted a mixer but been intimidated by the thought of owning one, the Kenwood has set my mind at ease by being simple to use and easy to figure out.

There are well designed release buttons and a speed setting dial, a stainless steel bowl and three attachments for all your baking needs.

I’m not well versed with things such as pastry, this mixer will predominantly be used for cakes and muffins and the like. Though I feel like trying to make my own pizza dough after realising how efficient this machine really is.

The Kenwood has lots of excellent features and accessories, such as the easy grip bowl with a great ergonomic handle, there are also tool storage slots behind at the rear of the machine too. The built in splash guard is a wonderful idea, with a hole so that you can still add extra ingredients as you mix, and with a measuring spoon included in the fitted piece over said hole.

I was impressed that it wasn’t very loud, the mixer has several speed settings as well as efficient and convenient ways of locking, unlocking and adjusting all aspects of the machine. By the time I had baked my first batch of cookie muffins the feeling of being intimidated had left me.

Overall I am very satisfied with how little space the unit takes up in my kitchen (because I had worried it would be massive once assembled). And with the storage for the accessories built in it’s a game changer in a small kitchen like mine. It’s also quite light weight and has suction feet on the base too! Perfect for amateur bakers like me.

As for how efficient the mixer is I can’t complain, I did 10 minutes of prepping all my ingredient measurements and I only had them in the mixer for a total of 3 minutes until everything was blended. From start to bake it was less than 20 mins before everything was ready to be portioned out and baked in my oven. It is a game changer for regular baking and I look forward to being more adventurous with it in the future as well.

I would recommend this as a mixer for anyone who was starting out at baking or who wanted to level up from doing it by hand, and letting a machine take some of that mixing strain. We all have to level up sometime so why not with a Kenwood which is honestly a great brand, and a reliable device with plenty to occupy you in a basic home kitchen set up.

Sabrina’s Final Scores and Honest Opinion

As far as home appliances go, you want something reliable and a product that does what it says it’s going to do. The Kenwood Multitasker does as described and has all these lovely nice extra bonus aspects too, like the built in storage and splash guard. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone new to baking but also for anyone who has a smaller kitchen, because it doesn’t take up much space but still allows for plenty of kitchen and baking exploration and fun. I look forward to exploring it more, maybe I will make a pizza dough once I’ve had enough of baking cake.

Sweet Treats Week – Day 4 – Sabrina’s Loaf Tin Cake

Posted on February 20, 2020 by Sabrina

Welcome to Sweet Treats Week on Severn Wishes. This half term I wanted to share my top 5 baking treats with you all, hopefully you’ve got some time this week to make them with me! Check out my Instagram for more food pictures, videos and recipe ideas too!

Day 4 is Sabrina’s Loaf Tin Cake

I know some people aren’t fond of eating loads of chocolate things so I figured I’d have to put my next favourite baking combination out there, which is Loaf Tin Cake! This can be my favourite cake which is a Lemon Drizzle cake! Or we can do a Banana and Chocolate Chip flavour!

I make this delightful and refreshing cake in a loaf tin because it’s easier to cook it, easier to cut it and easier to store it too! You have lots of options to customise your own cake too! I will be giving you two versions, Lemon or Banana and Chocolate, you can choose which to try or even do both!

When baking you’re looking for a gorgeous golden colour on top!

A loaf tin cake is much easier to judge than a round cake, I think!

It’s also easier to store, cut it into slices and it’s ready whenever you want a piece! One tin gives you around 8 slices! This cake keeps best for up to 3 days, but because there aren’t many slices it’s usually enjoyed during a day or two when it is at it’s best. TOP TIP Store this cake in a cake tin with a piece of kitchen roll underneath the baking parchment to help absorb any moisture.

What You Will Need

A Loaf Tin
Baking Paper or Parchment
A Large Mixing Bowl
A Small Mixing Bowl
A Wooden Spoon
A Tablespoon
A Sieve
A Knife
A Whisk (Manual or Mechanical)
Something To Store The Slices In After They Are Cooled

Author: Severn Sabrina
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes
Serves: 6 people per loaf made
Allergens: Wheat Flour, Dairy, Egg and Soya (unless you use my alternatives listed below)

Ingredients To Make Any of Sabrina’s Loaf Cake Recipes

1 Free Range Egg (Fresh is best for baking)
125g Butter (or Dairy Free Spread) Melt in the Microwave
100g White Caster Sugar
50g Golden Caster Sugar
190g Self Raising Flour
1 Tablespoon of Vanilla Essence
1 Tablespoons of Milk or a Milk Alternative

Additionals to Flavour the Cake

Lemon Drizzle Cake
For the Cake: 30ml of Lemon Juice
For the Drizzle: 30g Icing Sugar, Lemon Juice, Lemon Rind (Optional)
In a small bowl Mix Lemon Juice one Spoonful at a time to Icing Sugar, how much you want to make depends on your personal preference.
Pour this over your cake when it’s baked.
Add the Lemon Juice at Step Number 2.
Add the Drizzle only when the Cake has cooled but still on its parchment.

Banana and Chocolate Chip Cake
For the Cake: 1 Banana – The Softer the Better! Mushed Up!
50g Chocolate Chips (I use Dark and Dairy Free)
25g Chocolate to Melt and Pour on Top of the Cooled Cake (Optional)
Add the Mushed Up Banana and Chocolate Chips at Step Number 2.

Method Steps

1. In a Large Bowl mix the egg and sugars together with a wooden spoon until smooth. Then add the milk and vanilla. Add the melted butter which has cooled and combine all these ingredients together using a whisk.

2. Now is the time to add your additional filling, use your small bowl to measure out anything you want, then transfer it to the large bowl and mix in.

3. Next you need to sieve the self raising flour into the bowl, do this a little at a time, stirring it together constantly mixing until the mixture is smooth.

4. Make sure you cut a piece of parchment to the correct size for your tin, it needs to stick out above the sides to allow the cake to rise and not spill over.

5. Bake this Cake at 160’c or 150’c (Fan) for 30 – 35 minutes. Check the cake at 25 minutes with a knife or skewer and then check it again at 30 minutes. The knife should come out clean and the top of the cake should be golden like my image below.

6. Once baked remove the cake from the tin by lifting it out using the parchment, and leave it to stand on a flat surface to cool down. Once cooled you can either add the additional options as outlined above or cut it and serve.
