Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
I bought a Wilton pops pan at a clearance price of CAD$5 yesterday and I couldn’t wait to try it. So today, I tested it with this bite-sized brownies. This is an easy recipe where you can get your kids involved. I only mixed my batter with a bowl and a whisk so older kids... Continue Reading →
I made this for my Aunt-in-law for her birthday. The preparation of this cake was mostly identical to the joconde imprime entremets I’ve made before. This time I used a different kind of sponge cake to wrap around my dessert. So technically speaking, this was no longer a joconde imprime entremet anymore. The tang mian... Continue Reading →
This was what I made for myself on my birthday. I was on vacation for three days right before my birthday. I didn’t want to rush myself on cake preparation after I came back. Nor did I want a store-bought cake. So my solution was to make one the night before I left. This is... Continue Reading →
This is another cake I made with coconut milk. The one before was made with dark brown sugar. This one was with white sugar and I added dried mango pieces to the batter (sometimes I would add toasted coconut flakes too). When baked, the dried mangoes would become soft and chewy. Have you ever bought... Continue Reading →
I have opened a can of coconut milk last week. In order to use it up, I made a few cakes with coconut milk in the past couple of days (I will be posting my recipes in the upcoming weeks/months). I have tweaked my vanilla chiffon cake recipe a bit for this coconut chiffon cake.... Continue Reading →
This is the second cake I made for our prenatal class gathering last week (the other one was a graduation cake). Not everyone liked durian so in order not to contaminate my friend’s fridge, the cake container was wrapped in two big plastic bags when I brought this exotic treat over. Fresh durian is expensive in Toronto so... Continue Reading →
This is the kind of chocolate cake that I have been using for my fondant and buttercream cakes. The recipe is adapted from the famous Hershey’s “Perfectly Chocolate” chocolate cake, which first appeared in the back of Hershey's cocoa powder tin. Like many other bakers, I’ve made it with a spin. I have added a... Continue Reading →
My search for the perfect yellow cake recipe has been for a while. Yellow cake is a classic cake in the North American kitchen and almost every baker has their own favorite recipe. I have to confess that I am a baking nerd who would do anything just to make a recipe right. This yellow... Continue Reading →
I am sharing with you my foolproof way of making sponge cakes today. When I make my sponge cake, I love to separate the egg whites, whip it to a meringue then incorporated it into the batter at the very last stage. Warm milk is added to the yolks while beating to make the yolk... Continue Reading →
This three-layer cake was what I made for my family on Father’s Day last week. The bottom part was a fluffy chocolate chiffon cake layer, followed by a silky white chocolate mousse, then topped with a layer of creamy but not overly sweet blueberry cream cheese. I really love how purplish the top layer looked. The original... Continue Reading →
