‘Bread & Butter Pudding’ is one of my husband’s favourite winter desserts. It is not hard to make, but some fiddly work is required such as buttering the bread slices. I even spread Apricot Jam, then cut the slices, arrange them in a baking dish, etc. This recipe is much easier. Bread can be Hot …
This is a quick and easy Sultana Bread. You can make with regular Self-Raising Flour and without Yeast. The texture is similar to the Cake, but not too sweet. Slightly softer batter seems to work better when cooked in a rice cooker. If you want to bake it in the oven, use less Milk. Makes …
This is a very basic Sultana Cake, that our Grannies used to make. A little bland, but very comforting, and you would want a nice cuppa with it. To make this cake, you need to boil Sultanas first, so that Sultanas become soft and juicy. Then you add Eggs and Flour. It’s very easy to …
Today I baked a Rum Raisin Pound Cake. And the cake brought back a wonderful memory of the Japanese Chocolate called ‘Rummy.’ It is certainly a very alcoholic Chocolate that contains Rum-steeped Raisins and Chocolate Ganache inside. I can’t remember when was the last time I ate it. I decided to coat the cake with …
Today I needed to use up leftover cooked Pumpkin. I decided to make a rice cooker cake. If your rice cooker has ‘Cake’ setting, it is absolutely easy and energy efficient to cook cakes, frittata and crustless quiche. I line the base of the rice cooker’s inner pot with baking paper. If your rice cooker …

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: …
Duncan Livingston is my husband’s beloved grandfather Theo’s father. Duncan was born in 1891. He was the third son of George Archibald Livingston and his wife Joann Livingston (nee McCalman). This Xmas Pudding recipe is Duncan’s mother Joann’s recipe. It’s been handed down from generation to generation, and Theo’s eldest daughter Joan, who is Joann’s …
I needed to use some leftover Mixed Dried Fruit, so I decided to add them to Scones. All my Scone recipes are based on Auntie Loran’s recipe that doesn’t require Egg. The amount of the leftover Mixed Dried Fruit was not enough, so I added extra Sultanas and Black Currants. I was afraid that I …
When I first heard about ‘Morning Glory Muffins’, I instantly knew I would love them as they are made with almost identical ingredients as ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’. The missing ingredients are Apple and Shredded Coconut. So, I added them to my ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’ as I reduced the amount of grated Carrots. I …
I have a really good ‘Carrot Cake’ recipe. My family members started calling it Hiroko’s Legendary Carrot Cake, so I have named it ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’. Key ingredients include Pineapple and Sultanas. I added those to these pancakes. These pancakes are not very sweet, but they taste lovely. One day this recipe might be …
