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 made nougat the past weekend with dried mango pieces as well as cashews this time. They are basically the same as the previous ones, just with different add-ins. I don’t bother taking new pictures this time so if you would like to see pictures and read about other useful tips, please visit my previous … Continue reading Nougat with Dried Mango and Cashew 芒果腰果牛軋糖
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
I saw some pink lemons at the grocery store the past weekend. I’ve only heard about them so I bought some home out of curiosity. Pink variegated lemons have yellow-and-green-striped rind which fades when ripening. The flesh is pink due to lycopene, a red carotenoid pigment that is also found in tomatoes, watermelons and pink … Continue reading Lemon Chiffon Cake 檸檬戚風蛋糕
A reader asked me if it was possible to use my Fluffy Chocolate Cupcakes recipe to make a chocolate layer cake for fondant cake. My answer was a no as the cake is too soft and fluffy so would be easily distorted. When the fondant is draped over, the icing may gradually ooze out from … Continue reading Chocolate Butter Cake 朱古力牛油蛋糕
If you ask me which type of cake I like most, my answer would definitely be chiffon cakes. They are moist and tender. They are soft and fluffy (I will show you a video of my springy cake at the end of this post). They are easy to make and the recipe is versatile enough to … Continue reading Milo Chiffon Cake 美錄戚風蛋糕
I had a hot pot dinner with my friends at our house over the weekend and I made a chocolate mousse cake for my friend’s birthday. Her son is allergic to egg so I always look for eggless options so everyone could enjoy the dessert. I have made him mousse cake with eggless biscuit base … Continue reading No Bake Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake with Chocolate Ganache 黑朱古力慕絲凍餅配朱古力醬
This recipe was first published on my Facebook page in August, 2014 (see my post here). I shared all my pictures and recipes initially on my page but then I started to realize that it was quite inconvenient for me or my readers to look for a particular recipe. Finally I purchased my own domain … Continue reading Chocolate Chiffon Cake 朱古力戚風蛋糕
I baked two chiffon cakes with my range oven yesterday. As you can see in the pictures, the result was much better than those baked in my countertop oven. I truly love my range oven. With an even heat distribution the cake crust is nicely brown and my cakes always come out perfect. The only … Continue reading Baileys Espresso Chiffon Cake 咖啡百利甜酒戚風蛋糕
