It's blueberry picking season in mid-July and August and we had a fun family outing with other friends at the farm. Freshly picked blueberries are just CAD$3.15 per pound. They are so plumpy and sweet and my kids have been enjoying a big bowl of berries every night after dinner. I reserved some for dessert … Continue reading No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake (Sugar Free) 藍莓芝士凍餅(無糖)
I have always used pasteurized egg whites for my Swiss meringue buttercream (read about my blog post, Foolproof Swiss Meringue Buttercream) but this is not the best for young kids and pregnant women as the egg whites are not thoroughly cooked. In the past I would frost the cupcakes with whipped ganache for them (read … Continue reading Ganache Filled Chocolate Cupcakes with Swiss Meringue Buttercream made with Meringue Powder 軟心朱古力杯子蛋糕配瑞士蛋白奶油霜(使用蛋白粉)

Everything is easy peasy as there is no baking involved. It is particularly convenient for those who don't own an oven or … Continue reading Mango Mousse Cake with Biscuit Crust (Eggless and No-bake) 芒果慕絲凍餅(無蛋，免焗)

However, they had difficulties smoothing the cake surface as the mousse firmed up rather fast. My recipe contains no gelatin as the high ratio of chocolate is good enough to set the mousse. It … Continue reading Chocolate Mousse Cake with Chocolate Crust 朱古力慕絲凍餅
I made some matcha mochi in April but it was a disaster! It was the same recipe I had been using all the time (read about my blog post Purple Sweet Potato Moch). However, somehow my newly opened box of mochiko sweet rice flour had a different absorption rate than my previous ones. I ended … Continue reading Matcha Mochi With Red Bean Paste 抹茶紅豆糯米糍
The picture of a beautiful chocolate cotton cake my friend recently posted on Facebook has evoked my memory of my cooked dough cake from last year. I made that cake with reference to my my Tang Mian Sponge Cake and 妃娟's 黃金可可蛋糕 (literally Golden Chocolate Cake). The Tang Mian method helps to coat the flour … Continue reading Chocolate Sponge Cake (Tang Mian Method) 燙麵法朱古力海綿蛋糕
