    Chocolate Mug Cake (No Chocolate)

    It was wet and cold today and I wanted to eat Chocolate Cake. The quickest way to make a cake is microwave. Based on my ‘Instant Mug Cake’ recipe, I made this chocolate flavoured one. I used just Cocoa Powder as I didn’t have any Chocolate, but just a tablespoonful of Chocolate Chips would make …

  • Azuki (Red Beans) Baked & Fried Sweets

    Azuki Cupcakes

    Sweet Azuki Paste is very popular and it is used as a filling OR topping for many Japanese sweets. ‘Dorayaki’ and ‘Strawberry Daifuku Mochi’ and ‘An’ Doughnuts, the list would be endless. I love Sweet Azuki Paste but my husband doesn’t. When I baked these cupcakes, I expected he wouldn’t eat them. However, cupcakes disappeared …

    Magic Cake with Coconut Sponge Top

    Magic Cake turns into three layers when baked. The bottom layer is like ‘Fudge’, the middle layer is ‘Custard’, and the top layer is ‘Sponge’. I altered my ‘Magic Cake’ recipe to make this ‘Magic Cake with Coconut Sponge Top’, and you only need 1 mixing bowl as you don’t need to separate Eggs into …

    Sour Cream Pound Cake

    When I added the leftover Sour Cream to my ‘Basic Pound Cake’, I ended up adding a lot of more Flour to get the right texture. Today I reduced the amount of Butter. I added Blueberries to this cake. It is optional, but Berries and Cherries are a nice addition to this cake. Cake Tin …

    Rice Cooker Cheesecake with Biscuit Base

    My ‘Rice Cooker Cheesecake’ is delicious but it doesn’t look good as Rice Cooker Cakes are supposed to be flipped over. Today I tried to make it look good and I added Biscuit Base as well. I was quite thrilled with the result. No one would think this was cooked in rice cooker. Makes I …

  • Baked & Fried Sweets Nuts

    Date & Macadamia Nut Slice

    Macadamia Nuts are native to Australia and this delicious slice is very popular. If it is difficult to find Macadamia Nuts where you live, you can use other Nuts such as Cashews, Walnuts OR Pecans, but the slice wouldn’t taste the same. Smaller OR broken Macadamia Nuts are less expensive and they are perfect for …

    It was about 20 years ago, I first came across Hummingbird Cake when one of my colleagues brought in her homemade Hummingbird Cake to share. She gave me a copy of the recipe that she found in a magazine. The recipe has been lost, but I made my own recipe based on ‘My Legendary Carrot …

    My ‘Rice Cooker Apple Upside-down Cake’ is easy and delicious, but today I was in hurry. I tried even easier method. I added a can of Apple Slices and Cinnamon to my ‘Basic Plain Rice Cooker Cake’. I was happy with the result, though it took longer time to cook. This is probably the easiest …

    Rice Cooker Coconut Cake

    This is another variation of my ‘Basic Plain Rice Cooker Cake’. I used Coconut Milk and added Desiccated Coconut. As the cake batter became too thick, I added extra Egg. Same as other Rice Cooker Cakes, the top side of the Cake can’t be browned, but it looks fine when flipped over. Makes I used …

    Grated Sweet Potato Cake

    Yesterday I decided to make ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’ but I didn’t have Pineapple. Pineapple is an essential ingredient for the cake, then I tried to make something different based on the recipe. I grated Sweet Potato instead of Carrots, added more spices, and I ended up with this cake. I halved the Sugar for …

    Apple Crumble Cupcakes

    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? …
