I made this no-bake cheesecake for my sister and my friend’s daughter recently. Unlike my other No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake recipe which is made with fresh strawberries puree, I first turned my fresh strawberries into a coulis before blending it with cream cheese. I even used the same coulis to make a glaze. The result? A … Continue reading No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake with Strawberry Glaze 士多啤梨芝士凍餅配士多啤梨鏡面
I am running low on my favorite Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa powder so I have to use it sparingly until I travel to the States next time (ya so sad that it is no longer available in Canada). I want a cake that doesn’t depend on too much cocoa powder but is still full of chocolaty … Continue reading Double Chocolate Chiffon Cake 雙重朱古力戚風蛋糕
This cake is like a fusion of Pandan Chiffon Cake and Cotton Soft Sponge Cake but with water bath added during baking. Water bath adds moisture to the cake, which literally jiggles after it comes right out of the oven. Without the water bath, the cake is soft and fluffy but yet firm enough to … Continue reading Pandan Cotton Cake 古早味班蘭蛋糕
Pound cake is named for the traditional proportions of a pound each of flour, butter, sugar and eggs. Mine is a reduced sugar and scaled down version that incorporates leavening agent (baking powder) for a less dense pound cake and mashed bananas for extra moisture. 磅蛋糕的名稱來自其傳統材料比例-- 麵粉，牛油，砂糖和雞蛋各一磅。EC依比例縮小了份量製作自己的版本，糖的比例固然减少了，也加入泡打粉增加蛋糕鬆軟度，另外亦加了香蕉泥使蛋糕更濕潤。 To make it easier for the egg mixture … Continue reading Banana Pound Cake 香蕉牛油磅蛋糕
I don't have much to write about this cake as it is quite simple. But I do want to share with you a general technique for mousse cake construction that is tidy and neat. I use chiffon cake for my mousse cake. My cake layers are super light, soft and fluffy. To prevent them from … Continue reading Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake 紅桑子黑朱古力慕絲蛋糕
This gluten-free chiffon cake is an adaption from my Orange Chiffon Cake and I have to say that it tastes as light and fluffy as any chiffon cake made with wheat flour! Chiffon cake does not rely on gluten but beaten egg whites to help it rise. So if you could whip a gorgeous meringue … Continue reading Gluten-Free Tangerine Chiffon Cake 無麩質柑橘戚風蛋糕
The cake recipe I’m sharing today is free of sugar, gluten as well as diary. It’s basically just Sugar-Free Chiffon Cake with a slight twist in which I replaced the flour with brown rice flour and milk with soy milk. That’s it. Straightforward right? If you don’t have brown rice flour handy then rice flour … Continue reading Sugar-Free Brown Rice Chiffon Cake (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free) 無糖糙米戚風蛋糕(無麩質，無奶)
At times I get asked whether sponge cake can be use for fondant cake construction. Well, this question is a bit tricky because it depends on which sponge cake recipe is used and how the cake is prepared before fondant is draped on. Fondant itself is pretty heavy. With all the weight of the fondant … Continue reading Basic Sponge Cake 2 原味海綿蛋糕 (二)
I’ve been sick since past Sunday so decided to make something simple for hubby’s birthday this year. Just a chiffon cake lightly frosted with whipped cream and topped with chocolate drips. That’s it. Nothing fancy. I also took a video and sped it up so it was less boring to watch. If more filling is … Continue reading Espresso Chiffon Drip Cake with Whipped Cream 咖啡戚風淋面忌廉蛋糕
In this post I’d like to share with you my way of creating tall whipped cream cakes. I will also show you how to cut multi-layered cake like a pro. I learned it the hard way as my first tall cake was a total failure! Back in December, 2017, I made a tall cake out … Continue reading Semi-Naked Drip Cake with Fresh Fruits and Whipped Cream 鮮果忌廉半裸淋面蛋糕
