    The other day my husband asked me to make cake or something for staff members of the tool shop where he works. This is what I made for them. I basically added a can of Apple Slices and Cinnamon to my Basic Plain Cupcakes, and topped with Cinnamon Crumble. It can’t go wrong, can it? …

    Rhubarb Crumble Cupcakes

    Rhubarb can be used for many desserts, but I believe this is the easiest way to use it. Just add thinly sliced Rhubarb to Cupcakes. I used my ‘Basic Plain Cupcakes’ recipe but I increased the amount of Sugar as Rhubarb is quite sour. You don’t need to precook Rhubarb. Crunchy crumble topping is optional. …

    Orange Jelly

    The other day I happened to see a recipe of Orange Jelly. I was very surprised to find the recipe required an unthinkable amount of Gelatine Powder.

    Dairy-free Canned Apple Cake

    This is Dairy-free version of my ‘Whatever Fruit You Have’ Cake. I used Sunflower Oil instead of Butter. I like the fluffy and soft texture of the cake that is made with Oil, but the flavour can be bland. Spice, Citrus Juice, Vanilla, Brandy can improve the flavour. I added all of them. Cake Tin …
