The other day, I baked ‘Coconut Cake’. As it was made with Desiccated Coconut, it had grainy texture. Some people like the grainy texture of Coconut Cake, but some people don’t. So, today I made this cake without Desiccated Coconut. It’s actually based on my ‘Pancakes‘ recipe. I used Coconut Milk and added some melted …
I believe many people love ‘Creme Caramel’. Have you ever tried to make it? It’s actually easy. My favourite cooking method is baking in the oven, but you can cook it in different ways. My ‘Creme Caramel’ recipe is very simple. I have been using this recipe for decades. Today I added Coffee to make …
Well… I wonder how many times I have tried to make Soufflé Pancakes. Every time, I got disappointed as my Soufflé Pancakes were not very tall and they shrank just like Soufflé. I tried many different recipes, altered the recipes, tried to add something that I believed might improve the hight such as Cream of …
I used my ‘Basic Plain Cupcakes’ recipe to make these Strawberry Cupcakes, but I replaced Milk with pureed Strawberries. As the Strawberries that I used were a little sour, I should have added extra Sugar. These pink coloured Cupcakes look pretty and they smelled amazing when baking in the oven. You may wish to decorate …
This is No-Dairy version of my ‘Soft Lemon Cookies’. I used Sunflower Oil instead of Butter, and I increased the amount of Flour as I used a Whole Egg today.

My ‘Melting Moment’ cookies are custard shortbread, that is made with Custard Powder. Since I discovered that good quality Custard Powder contains only Corn Starch, Salt, Flavour from Milk, natural Yellow Colour from the Achiote tree seeds and nothing artificial, I have been using it to replace Corn Starch, and also to add yellow colour …
When you crave something sweet just for yourself but have nothing, a mug cake is a good option if you have a microwave. Most mug cakes can be made in five minutes. I have shared a variety of mug cake recipes on this website. Here is another recipe for you to try, but it’s not …
I have been always interested in American style flat looking Chocolate Chip Cookies. I have compared those recipes with my own recipe. The major differences are the amount of Flour and the amount of Sugar. American recipes require much less Flour and a lot more Sugar. None of the recipes that I checked uses Self-Raising …
The other day, I added leftover Cream Cheese to my Lemon Cookies. Cookies were not sweet enough. That’s because Cream Cheese was added, and also I added extra Flour as the dough became awfully soft. Adding extra Flour was a bad decision. I should have cooled the dough in the fridge. The very soft and …
Old fashioned Buckwheat Cookies are still available to purchase in Japan. Store-bought Buckwheat Cookies are mostly likely made with Buckwheat Flour and also Wheat Flour. These cookies are made with 100% Buckwheat Flour. You can smell Buckwheat while you are baking them. I would enjoy these cookies with Green Tea, but some people say Hōjicha …
This cake batter is actually my Basic Plain Cupcake batter, that is very versatile and I use it most frequently. You can add ‘Whatever Fruit You Have’ to it and make a simple Fruit Cake. Fruit can be fresh, cooked, canned OR frozen. Today I added Apple and Canned Plums, which I have been struggling …
The other day, I realised I have never used Bananas for Cookies (except for Oats Cookies and Muesli Bars). What would happen if I added Banana to the cookie dough? So I tried with my Basic Cookie Dough recipe, replacing Egg with mashed Banana. Cookies turned quite soft as expected. Today I tried again. I …
