Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
This chiffon cake is quite similar to Chocolate Chiffon Cake but with a hint of Kahlua flavor. The fats in cocoa powder is problematic as it tends to deflate the meringue at a faster rate, leading to a shorter cake. In order to compensate for the volume loss, I usually implemented the following two tricks.... Continue Reading →
If you ask me which type of cake I like most, my answer would definitely be chiffon cakes. They are moist and tender. They are soft and fluffy (I will show you a video of my springy cake at the end of this post). They are easy to make and the recipe is versatile enough to... Continue Reading →
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 →
Here comes my first cake of the year 2018! I have upgraded to an induction stove recently so I got a bigger and fancier 164L (5.8 cu. ft.) convection oven to play with (yay!!!). The top oven element from my older stove broke down long time ago and it was too expensive to get it... Continue Reading →
My kids always hunt for food at home crazily right after school (are your kids like that too???). I usually prepare light snacks for them. Fruits, little cupcakes, crackers and etc, not too much so their tummies are not too full by dinner time. In order not to waste my overripe banana and leftover whipping... Continue Reading →
After baking my Orange and Chia Seed Chiffon Cake, I've mentioned that I would make a lemon version afterwards. And here it is...but with lime instead (as that was what I had in my fridge). I didn't take any pictures during my preparation. Please visit my other chiffon cake posts for more pictures. 上次弄過香橙奇異籽戚風蛋糕後EC曾說過會再試做檸檬口味，這個便是了，EC雪櫃只有青檸，所以今天做了青檸味。今次沒有拍下製作過程照片，想觀看照片請參考其他戚風蛋糕。 Lime...

I found a forgotten orange in the fridge on Friday so I just juiced it and made a chiffon cake out of it. The recipe was based on my vanilla chiffon cake with the following adaptations. - milk was replaced with concentrated juice made with freshly squeezed orange juice; - grapeseed oil instead of canola...

I love red bean but store bought red bean paste is too sweet to my liking. Therefore, I usually make my own red bean paste at home. Spending several hours preparing fresh red bean paste each time before baking always challenges my patience. This time I've used powdered red bean for my cupcakes. Beans are... Continue Reading →
This chiffon cupcake recipe is adapted from my basic chiffon cake recipe. I flavored it with ginger and muscovado sugar which had a rich taste. I also used grapeseed oil instead of canola oil for a healthier choice. These cupcakes are really fluffy and I love to eat them warm. The ginger is so refreshing and... Continue Reading →
This is another cake I made with coconut milk. The one before was made with dark brown sugar. This one was with white sugar and I added dried mango pieces to the batter (sometimes I would add toasted coconut flakes too). When baked, the dried mangoes would become soft and chewy. Have you ever bought... Continue Reading →
