My son was watching another Pokémon series on Netflix so I decided to make him a Poké Ball cake for his birthday back in July (yeah I know it’s super late to blog about it). I remember hearing about this Japanese anime after going to Canada. It’s amazing that it’s still on and popular among... Continue Reading →

I found some shredded dried meat/meat floss when I was clearing up my pantry so I decided to make this sweet and savory chiffon cake. I wanna use up this huge package of meat floss fast so I added it both on top and in between the layers. I just happened to have a bottle... Continue Reading →
Chocolate Chiffon Cake (Tang Mian Method) 燙麵法朱古力戚風蛋糕
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 →
Semi Naked Chocolate Cake with Fresh Fruits and Whipped Cream 鮮果忌廉朱古力半裸蛋糕
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 →
Opera Cake 歌劇院蛋糕
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 →
Double Chocolate Chiffon Cake 雙重朱古力戚風蛋糕
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).

Banana Pound Cake 香蕉牛油磅蛋糕
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...

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.

Sugar-Free Brown Rice Chiffon Cake (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free) 無糖糙米戚風蛋糕(無麩質,無奶)
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 →
Espresso Chiffon Drip Cake with Whipped Cream 咖啡戚風淋面忌廉蛋糕
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 →
