I received feedback from several readers not long ago. They said they all love how decadent my Chocolate Mousse Cake was. However, they had difficulties smoothing the cake surface as the mousse firmed up rather fast. My recipe contains no gelatin as the high ratio of chocolate is good enough to set the mousse. It … Continue reading Chocolate Mousse Cake with Chocolate Crust 朱古力慕絲凍餅
The picture of a beautiful chocolate cotton cake my friend recently posted on Facebook has evoked my memory of my cooked dough cake from last year. I made that cake with reference to my my Tang Mian Sponge Cake and 妃娟's 黃金可可蛋糕 (literally Golden Chocolate Cake). The Tang Mian method helps to coat the flour … Continue reading Chocolate Sponge Cake (Tang Mian Method) 燙麵法朱古力海綿蛋糕
I usually use Mexican Ataulfo mangoes for my dessert but there is no guarantee that you will have access to fresh mango at peak ripeness every time. When this time hits, canned mango pulp comes in handy. I made a few mousse cakes with Kesar mango pulp in April and was very pleased with both … Continue reading Mango Matcha Mousse Cake with Mirror Glaze 芒果抹茶慕絲鏡面蛋糕

My friend’s son has egg allergy so I made him an Oreo chocolate cheesecake for his birthday. It was basically my No-bake Chocolate Cheesecake with added Oreo pieces. The cookies and their filling were sweet so I reduced the amount of sugar slightly and balanced it more dark chocolate. EC好友的兒子對雞類敏感，因此EC做了Oreo朱古力芝士凍餅為他慶祝生日。這基本上是朱古力芝士凍餅，只是在內加了切成小塊的Oreo餅乾而已。因為餅乾及夾餡較甜 ，因此EC把蛋糕糖量減少了，也增添了黑朱古力用量。 Oreo lovers may use … Continue reading No-Bake Oreo Chocolate Cheesecake Oreo朱古力芝士凍餅
