To make Soufflé Sponge Cake, you need to prepare the cake tin properly and steam bake it in the oven using a water bath. The other day I tried to cook it in my rice cooker to find out what would happen. The cake was cooked well, though it didn’t look very pretty. Probably it …
I have been trying to use up a jar of Molasses, that I bought to make Gingerbread many months ago. Today I made a Pound Cake using the ingredients that I use to make Gingerbread. To make ‘Basic Pound Cake’, I use 125g of each Butter, Sugar, Eggs and Flour. I altered the amount of …
If you have some leftover Condensed Milk and you need to use it up, you can add it to cake batter. Today I added it to Pound Cake batter. As I also added Lemon Juice, I needed to add more Flour. The cake turned out a lot larger than normal. You may wish to add …
At Christmas time every year, my husband’s Auntie Joan kindly gives us her homemade Marmalade. We don’t eat it much, but her Marmalade is perfect for this cake. This cake is only for grown-ups because it is alcoholic as I added Whisky to the batter and brushed with extra Whisky on top. I believe Whisky …
Pancakes are such a popular snack and I assume you cook them, too. Why don’t you try these Coconut Milk Pancakes for a change? Just replace Milk that you usually use with Coconut Milk. The batter tends to become thicker than normal. You can adjust the thickness right for you by adding some Water. If …
The other day, I wanted to use up a can of Crushed Pineapple and I googled for cake recipes. Some American recipes came up, and again I was shocked at the amount of Sugar they required. Some recipes required 2 cups Sugar on top of 1 can Crushed Pineapple which is sweet. I added just …

I made my Instant Mug Cake replacing Butter with Cream Cheese and it turned out dry bread-like. I tried again and this time I reduced the amount of Flour and increased Cream Cheese. I was expecting this Mug Cake would taste like Cheese Cake, but the Cream Cheese flavour was not strong. Maybe, it’s because …
In Japan, a very dark, almost blackish coloured, Sugar called ‘Kurozatō’ OR ‘Kokutō’ is often used for traditional sweet snacks and cakes. I love its flavour. Muscovado is the closest alternative that I can find where I live, and I always stock it. When I want to eat Muscovado flavoured cake, I often make this …
When I first heard about ‘Morning Glory Muffins’, I instantly knew I would love them as they are made with almost identical ingredients as ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’. The missing ingredients are Apple and Shredded Coconut. So, I added them to my ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’ as I reduced the amount of grated Carrots. I …
My ‘Basic Butter Cake’ is a very easy cake. What you need to do is just mixing ingredients very well. Today I replaced Buttermilk with Sour Cream, and I added Lemon Juice and Zest. The cake cracked a little and I was disappointed. Well… it doesn’t really matter if the cake cracked. I covered it …
