Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
Here’s another recipe for banana nut cake. The previous recipe I wrote in 2017 involves a mixing method called the “two-stage mixing method” (refer to Banana Walnut Bundt Cake for details). This time I’m using the traditional creaming method. At the same time, I was trying something new that a sister at church taught me,... Continue Reading →
Here’s the newer and upgraded version of Vanilla Chiffon Cupcakes (Tang Mian Method) with Meringue Buttercream. The previous recipe involved warming the oil before mixing with the flour. And this time I’ve totally ditched this process. Compared to the traditional mixing method, this method in which the egg yolks are incorporated during the last stage... Continue Reading →
Here’s a cake I made for a friend last month. Like I’ve mentioned in my previous blog post, Chocolate Chiffon Cupcakes (2), I switched to another method when I prepare my cake base. I’ve been using this for a couple of months and so far I’m pretty satisfied with it. 這是上個月為朋友做的蛋糕，EC在上一篇網誌朱古力戚風杯子蛋糕(2)中提及過自己最近改變了做蛋糕的方法。這個新方法已嘗試了幾個月，暫時都非常滿意。 Chestnut Cake with Fresh...

I made these cookies for the annual Community Day held at our church in June. They are simple to make and most of all, egg-free! I created 4 different flavours (original, espresso, chocolate and matcha) and today I’m sharing with you the espresso ones. I packed these little cookies in sealed food bags and, together...

Here’s another method for making Pandan Chiffon Cake. I used the tang mian method as found in my Pandan Cotton Cake, but without the water bath. I used to use a combination of pandan leaves and pandan extract but this time I am only using pandan leaves. If you want a more vibrant colour, go... Continue Reading →
Here’s a cake I made for our family gathering over the weekend. I paired up lychee and raspberry for a sweet and tart combination as well as a beautiful contrast of colour. I was trying to add a hint of rose flavour too, but my kids didn’t like the flavour after a taste test so... Continue Reading →
Here’s the cake I made for my uncle and cousin for their birthdays at the end of December. We didn’t get to celebrate together amid the pandemic and only went for a drop off. The Ontario government announced stricter COVID-19 measures two days ago and beginning today, kids are back to remote learning again for... Continue Reading →
My son was watching another Pokémon series on Netflix so I decided to make him a Poké Ball cake for his birthday back in July (yeah I know it’s super late to blog about it). I remember hearing about this Japanese anime after going to Canada. It’s amazing that it’s still on and popular among... Continue Reading →
A friend of mine told me that her banana chiffon cake didn’t rise much and asked if I knew the reason why. I’ve written a recipe on Chocolate Banana Chiffon Cake quite some time ago and I didn’t take many pictures that time. I couldn’t remember how much my cake rose. As I happened to... Continue Reading →
I made this cake last month and the recipe was adapted from my Banana Pound Cake with a few modifications. I’ve done this a couple of times with awesome results so I feel comfortable sharing this with my readers. First, I’ve replaced some of the sugar with trehalose to further reduce the sweetness (simply cutting... Continue Reading →
