I baked two chiffon cakes with my range oven yesterday. As you can see in the pictures, the result was much better than those baked in my countertop oven. I truly love my range oven. With an even heat distribution the cake crust is nicely brown and my cakes always come out perfect. The only … Continue reading Baileys Espresso Chiffon Cake 咖啡百利甜酒戚風蛋糕
This is nothing new. I just mingled some recipes and created another one. This is a mango mousse cake with a marie biscuit base. I added diced mango inside for more mango madness. Everything is easy peasy as there is no baking involved. It is particularly convenient for those who don't own an oven or … Continue reading Mango Mousse Cake with Biscuit Crust (Eggless and No-bake) 芒果慕絲凍餅(無蛋，免焗)

In order to compensate for the moisture loss due to … Continue reading Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake 朱古力酸忌廉環形蛋糕
I am not a drinker and usually use alcohol only for cooking and baking. A splash of Kahlua liqueur definitely adds an unique flavor profile to any cake, and this chiffon cake is one of the liqueur-infused cakes that I (as well as other coffee lovers) would enjoy. This recipe is written specifically for the … Continue reading Kahlua Chiffon Cake 咖啡酒戚風蛋糕
Madeleines are famous French little cakes (some refer them as cookies) with a shell-like shape and characteristic dome on the back. These buttery cakes are crispy around the edges yet soft and spongy inside. I bought a new over-sized madeleine pan during my Hong Kong trip. Each cavity had a capacity of 60 ml so … Continue reading Maple Orange Madeleines 楓糖香橙瑪德蓮
