Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
Another Chocolate cake lol. This chocolate butter cake is made with milk rather than sour cream or yogurt which was usually stated in my other chocolate butter cake recipes such as Chocolate Bundt Cake, Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake or Chocolate Butter Cake. Since milk is a lot thinner than sour cream or yogurt, the... Continue Reading →
I made this sponge cake as a base to make a cake for my friend’s birthday recently. The cake was free of dairy products but still tasted great. I have readers who told me about their failure when making sponge cake, especially the chocolate version. Everything was fine when beating the whole eggs, but then... Continue Reading →
I’ve been experimenting with trehalose recently and here’s a chocolate butter cake that I made yesterday. The recipe was adapted from Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake and I did not add any oil and syrup for moisture this time. The result was satisfactory as the cake wasn’t overly sweet nor dry at all. 這陣子都是試驗在糖中混入海藻糖做牛油蛋糕，昨天就做了這個修改自朱古力酸忌廉蛋糕的朱古力味牛油蛋糕。這次沒有添加油和糖漿保濕，但效果仍是挺好的，整體味道不太甜，蛋糕質地也不乾。 Sour... Continue Reading →
I got some ripe bananas at home that nobody was interested in. So in they went to my mixer for a moist and delicious cake. I’ve started using a combination of trehalose and organic sugar for butter cakes recently for reduced sweetness without giving up moisture and so far I’m pretty satisfied with the result....

I had some leftover durian flesh from my No Bake Durian Cheese Tart that I made last week so I used that for a pound cake. This is pretty much the same as my Vanilla Pound Cake, just with durian added. If you love durian you gotta try this cake. 上星期做免焗榴槤芝士撻時剩下了少許榴槤肉，於是便做了這個磅蛋糕。蛋糕配方基本上跟雲尼拿磅蛋糕差不多，只是增添了榴槤肉而已，榴槤控一定要試試。 If you don't have... Continue Reading →
I’ve shared several recipes for chocolate flavor foam cakes before. Double Chocolate Chiffon Cake is super chocolaty which has a brownie-like texture. Chocolate Chiffon Cake is the typical fluffy chiffon cake. Chocolate Genoise is a bouncy cake that is sturdy enough for fondant cake. Flourless Chocolate Cake is, well, flourless (and yet it tastes amazing).... Continue Reading →
Pound cake is named for the traditional proportions of a pound each of flour, butter, sugar and eggs. The following is a scaled down version that incorporates leavening agent (baking powder) for a less dense pound cake and milk for added moisture. I also tried something new by substituting trehalose for a portion of the... Continue Reading →
Here’s what I made for my daughter’s 11th birthday. I was grateful that the government of Ontario allowed people to create social circles of up to 10 people since mid June so we could bring a cake to my aunt’s house the weekend before my daughter’s birthday for dinner. On the day of her birthday... Continue Reading →
This is the coffee version of my Tang Mian Sponge Cake (or Cotton Cake). This time I lined my cake pan with cardboard before inserting my parchment paper. This step is not a must, but it could further reduce the rate of the heat conduction so the cake would be less likely to crack on... Continue Reading →
This is what I made for my dad’s birthday in December (yes I know it’s already end of March now). There is actually nothing new about this cake but a combination of different things I’ve made before. Apart from a cake layer, the almond sponge cake could also be used as a cake wrapper. For... Continue Reading →
