Here comes my first cake of the year 2018! I have upgraded to an induction stove recently so I got a bigger and fancier 164L (5.8 cu. ft.) convection oven to play with (yay!!!).

In order to compensate for the moisture loss due to … Continue reading Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake 朱古力酸忌廉環形蛋糕
I am not a drinker and usually use alcohol only for cooking and baking. A splash of Kahlua liqueur definitely adds an unique flavor profile to any cake, and this chiffon cake is one of the liqueur-infused cakes that I (as well as other coffee lovers) would enjoy. This recipe is written specifically for the … Continue reading Kahlua Chiffon Cake 咖啡酒戚風蛋糕
