This cake is like a fusion of Pandan Chiffon Cake and Cotton Soft Sponge Cake but with water bath added during baking.

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
After posting my previous cutout cookies recipe, a reader asked me why I didn’t make my cookies with the traditional creaming method and if it was okay to use cake flour instead of all purpose flour. Well, it’s all about personal preferences. As previously explained in my blog post, Piped Vanilla Bean Shortbread Cookies, your … Continue reading Earl Grey Cookies 伯爵茶曲奇

For this recipe I’ve slightly increased the sugar amount to balance out the bitterness from the matcha powder. Use only Japanese matcha powder for a vivid green color.

I’ve been baking with erythritol recently (read about my blog posts, Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Muffins, Sugar-Free Brown Rice Chiffon Cake and Sugar-Free Matcha Nougat with Almonds) and this time I used it for bread making. Apart from using natural sweetener, I’ve replaced the whipping cream in my Pai Bao recipe with unsweetened almond milk, which … Continue reading Sugar-Free Pai Bao (Hong Kong Style Sweet Milk Buns) 無糖湯種排包
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
