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 …
‘Clafoutis’ is a simple French dessert and it is really quick and easy to make. Traditionally Clafoutis is made with Cherries, but I use a variety of Fruit. Ripe Pears, Peaches and Berries are perfect. Today I made this Prune version, because I wanted to make a dessert using Dried Prunes. It was absolutely delicious. …
My Super Easy Cobbler recipes are all literally super easy. Basically, you melt Butter in a baking dish, pour the Batter that is made with Flour, Sugar and Milk, then add Fruit, and bake. Using canned Fruit, it can be made any time, really quickly. Today I used canned Apple slices. Of course you can …
Using canned Apples, diced OR sliced, this classic dessert is super quick and easy to make. When Apples are in season OR you have lots of Apples from your backyard tree, you might prefer cooking fresh Apples, and that would taste the best. I like Apple filling in this dessert absolutely soft, and that’s why …
