Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
Here’s a cake I made for a friend last month. Like I’ve mentioned in my previous blog post, Chocolate Chiffon Cupcakes (2), I switched to another method when I prepare my cake base. I’ve been using this for a couple of months and so far I’m pretty satisfied with it. 這是上個月為朋友做的蛋糕，EC在上一篇網誌朱古力戚風杯子蛋糕(2)中提及過自己最近改變了做蛋糕的方法。這個新方法已嘗試了幾個月，暫時都非常滿意。 Chestnut Cake with Fresh...

Here’s another method for making Pandan Chiffon Cake. I used the tang mian method as found in my Pandan Cotton Cake, but without the water bath. I used to use a combination of pandan leaves and pandan extract but this time I am only using pandan leaves. If you want a more vibrant colour, go... Continue Reading →
Here’s a cake I made for our family gathering over the weekend. I paired up lychee and raspberry for a sweet and tart combination as well as a beautiful contrast of colour. I was trying to add a hint of rose flavour too, but my kids didn’t like the flavour after a taste test so... Continue Reading →
Here’s the cake I made for my uncle and cousin for their birthdays at the end of December. We didn’t get to celebrate together amid the pandemic and only went for a drop off. The Ontario government announced stricter COVID-19 measures two days ago and beginning today, kids are back to remote learning again for... Continue Reading →
A friend of mine told me that her banana chiffon cake didn’t rise much and asked if I knew the reason why. I’ve written a recipe on Chocolate Banana Chiffon Cake quite some time ago and I didn’t take many pictures that time. I couldn’t remember how much my cake rose. As I happened to... Continue Reading →
I’ve signed up for a few BIble study groups together with some online classes so I’m a bit behind on updating my recipes. This is the one I made back in February for my sister’s birthday. She has always been a chocolate lover so I had no reason not to make her a chocolate cake.... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 cake is like a fusion of Pandan Chiffon Cake and Cotton Soft Sponge Cake but with water bath added during baking. Water bath adds moisture to the cake, which literally jiggles after it comes right out of the oven. Without the water bath, the cake is soft and fluffy but yet firm enough to... Continue Reading →
