All of Annabel Crabb's desserts from the latest season of Kitchen Cabinet

Annabel Crabb's dessert recipes from the latest season of Kitchen Cabinet As the host of ABC iview’s Kitchen Cabinet for more than a decade, Annabel Crabb has made a habit of discussing politics at the dinner table. Over that time, Annabel has also received well-earned praise for her show-stopping desserts and baked treats. On the most recent season, which wrapped last week, Annabel indulged the sweet tooth of six very different members of Australia's 48th Parliament, whipping up everything from Guinness cakes and homemade wagon wheels to a vegan lemon poppyseed cake. Read on if you're keen to sink your own teeth into all of the dessert recipes seen on the 2026 season. Homemade wagon wheels This home-baked rendition of the classic chocolate-coated, marshmallow-filled biscuit treat is chunkier — and superior — to its store-bought counterpart. The magical extra ingredient? Just a hint of nutmeg. Guinness cakes with cappuccino frosting A sweet, baked dessert made with beer might sound weird, but this moist, dark cake has an almost earthy richness and is perfect for those who don't love their desserts super sweet. The decadent coffee-scented cream-cheese frosting makes these cakes look like tiny, well-poured pints of stout. Vegan lemon poppyseed pound cake with blackberries If you're sceptical about vegan cakes, this may be the one that changes your opinion. It's incredibly simple to make, deliciously lemony and moist, and nobody will believe it doesn't contain eggs or butter. Sweet vermicelli pudding with apricot compote Traditionally eaten in the morning in Eid, this Pakistani dish also makes a delicious dessert. Fine strands of wheat vermicelli are toasted in ghee, then gently cooked with milk, sugar and cardamom until it thickens into a pudding. Highly addictive. White chocolate tart with burnt honey and thyme This decadent tart has a chocolate and hazelnut crust, no-bake white chocolate and cream cheese filling and is ready in only 30 minutes. The addition of thyme and burnt honey makes for a unique flavour combination and it's finished with dark berries and edible flowers. Apple flower tarts dusted with icing sugar Incorporating the unbeatable combination of apple, cinnamon, butter and brown sugar, these little apple tarts are simple to make but a spectacular addition to the dinner table. They use store-bought puff pastry and the red apple slices look like the petals of a rose.
