Tea Loaf, a quick bread (OR cake) packed with Dried Fruits, can be enjoyed at anytime, but I like to bake it at Christmas time. It is absolutely easy to make. Dried Fruits are steeped in Hot Strong Black Tea. I don’t add Butter, but I recommend to enjoy this sweet loaf with Butter, generously …
I make my Pound Cakes using 125g of each Butter, Sugar, Eggs and Self-Raising Flour. When you add extra dry ingredients such as Cocoa Powder, I reduce the amount of Flour. However, I tend to use large Eggs, and 3 Eggs weigh about 150g. So, I used 150g each Butter, Caster Sugar, Eggs and ‘Self-Raising …
I had a small Banana that had turned brown. It was a perfect Banana to make a Banana Cake, but 1 small one was not enough. Once I thought about Banana Cake, I couldn’t stop the craving for Banana Cake. The solutions is Mug Cake. Absolutely quick and easy. It took me less than 5 …
Is this another type of Magic Cake? I was trying to recreate a Lemon Custard Cake that I saw on the internet. I used my own cake batter, but I realised it was too thick for what I was trying to make. And the Custard was too much and it covered the batter completely. I …
Someone gave my husband their homemade Honey. It was totally different quality from the Honey I buy from supermarkets and absolutely delicious. I have been enjoying the Honey with toast, but today I made this mug cake. I cooked it for 80 seconds in my 1000W microwave, and it seemed a little too long. The …
Today I craved a Matcha flavoured cake. If it is just for myself, the quickies and easiest option is a mug cake. I used Cream Cheese instead of Butter, but the flavour of the Cream Cheese was not strong. This cake is not very sweet, so enjoy it with Vanilla Ice Cream, Muscovado Syrup, Maple …
My husband’s auntie Joan gave her Lemon Cake recipe to my daughter many years ago. It is a Lemon Syrup Cake. I was making the cake today, then I realised that I had Oranges as well. I thought the cake would be more delicious if I used both Orange juice and Lemon juice, so I …
I always stock a box of Custard Powder in my pantry. It is very handy when I want to make Custard Sauce very quickly OR when I need to make Egg-Free Custard. I use the Custard Powder to make this cake using no Egg. Just mix all ingredients, pour the mixture into the rice cooker’s …
This cake is very alcoholic and it is only for grownups, who love Rum and Sultanas (OR Raisins). I always have a jar of Steeped Sultanas, that can be used for baking and also added to Ice Cream and other cold desserts. However, the Rum-Steeped Sultanas that I used today were quite old, and extremely …
I have been using my easy and fail-free ‘No-Bake Cheesecake’ recipe for decades. It is very versatile and you can create a variety of Cheesecakes by adding extra ingredients. Today I added Dark Chocolate and used Arnott’s Choc Ripple Biscuits for the biscuit base. I reduced the amount of Gelatine Powder because Chocolate makes the …
A very simple Japanese recipe of Rice Cooker Sweet Potato Cake inspired me to make this cake. I used the common orange-coloured Sweet Potato instead of Japanese Sweet Potato, and added Spices and Sultanas. However, my first attempt was failed because most of Sweet Potato pieces were not cooked. Sweet Potato needs to be pre-cooked! …
The main ingredients of this cake are 1 packet (300g) Silken Tofu, 2 Eggs and 1 cup ‘Kinako’ (Finely Ground Roasted Soy Beans). As Tofu is basically Soy Milk and ‘Kinako’ is 100% Soy Beans, and 2 Eggs are added, this cake is high in protein. Today I used Monk Fruit Sweetener which is zero-calorie …
