Auntie Joan gives us a jar of her Orange Marmalade every year. We don’t eat Orange Marmalade, but I am very happy to receive it because her Orange Marmalade makes lovely cakes. ‘Orange Marmalade & Whisky Pound Cake’ is my favourite, but today I tried to make a rice cooker cake. It turned out a …
Based on my ‘Basic Bavarois’ recipe, you can make a variety of Bavarois in different flavours. Today I replaced Milk with Orange Juice and made this delicious dessert. Topping is optional, but I strongly recommend to add some fresh Orange segments. Today I mixed the Orange segments with a little Sugar and Grand Marnier, but …
My daughter gave me Grapes that she had been given by someone. Those Grapes were not fresh, skin was thick and tough, each Grape was small and full of seeds. I didn’t want to eat them as it was too hard, but I couldn’t waste them. So, I made them into Jam. If you are …
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. …
Rhubarb Sauce is very simple to make. This is the basic recipe and you can easily multiply it. To achieve the desired consistency of the sauce, please add extra Water after the Rhubarb is cooked and the mixture is thickened. Makes 125ml (1/2 cup) Ingredients 2 stalks (100g) Rhubarb *thinly sliced OR cut into small …
The batter of ‘Magic Cake’ naturally separates into three layers when baked. The bottom layer is like ‘Fudge’, the middle layer is ‘Custard’, and the top layer is ‘Sponge’. My ‘Magic Cake’ recipe is versatile and you can add extra ingredients such as Cocoa Powder OR Lemon Juice. You can add softly cooked Fruit, too. …
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. I became curious to compare other people’s Orange Jelly recipes. Some recipes require a lot of Sugar, and some recipes are complicated. To me, Jelly is simple to …
My husband’s Auntie Joan kindly gives us her homemade Marmalade every year. We don’t eat Marmalade, but Joan’s Marmalade is perfect for making cakes, such as ‘Orange Marmalade & Whisky Pound Cake’. Today I made these cupcakes. Thanks to Joan’s Scottish Marmalade that was slightly bitter, the cupcakes were delicious. Makes 12 Cupcakes Ingredients 125g …
I bought a bag of Mixed Peel for Christmas baking, and there was leftover, as always. I often make scones and cupcakes to use it up. Today I made these cookies. Basically I just added some Mixed Peel to my ‘Easiest Sweet Shortcrust Pastry’, but I replaced a part of Flour with Almond Meal. I …
Using the same ingredients of Christmas Cake, I made these cupcakes today. I just mixed Brandy-soaked Dried Fruit and some Almonds with ‘Basic Cupcake’ batter. Much quicker to bake and easier to share with people. The smell and the flavour of these cupcakes are so Christmassy! Makes 12 Cupcakes Ingredients 2 cups Mixed Dried Fruit*Note: …
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 …
I use a same volume of ‘Flour’ and ‘Egg & Water mixture’ to make Tempura batter. For Fritter batter, I do the same. It’s easy to remember. Today I used Milk instead of Water and added a little Sugar. You can use the same batter for other fruit fritters, however, you need to coat the …
