    Two-tone Strawberry Chiffon Cake

    I don’t have much skills when it comes to decorating a cake. Neither, am I interested to spend a lot of time either. This Two Tone Strawberry Chiffon Cake is simple to make yet looks elegant enough to serve when your friends come over for high tea.  If you want to make a chocolate version, swap out strawberry with cocoa powder. Just make sure to dissolve the cocoa powder with some warm water so that it can combine well with the cake batter. Also, just to remind you to measure your egg white when you are baking, especially when it comes making chiffon/sponge cake. Egg white is what helps the…

    Blackcurrant (Ribena) Sponge Cake

      The reason why I decided to make Blackcurrant Sponge Cake was that I was reminded of Ribena the other day when my friend asked me if I want some Ribena gummy (Blackcurrant Pastilles).

Jasmine Green Tea drink is a common choice for Singaporean. Though we don’t really put cheese on our baked goods, I got my inspiration from Indonesia.

    Orange Chiffon Cake with Orange Custard and Whipped Cream Cheese

    Adapted from my Pandan Chiffon Cake, this is a foolproof zesty recipe. Orange Chiffon Cake! YUM.   Sandwiched with orangy custard, creamed with whipped maple cream cheese frosting  and top it off with strawberries. Not too sweet but still refreshing and creamy!   You could garnish it with orange zest and mint leaves. I’m lazy so I just spread both the custard and the frosting to give that very rustic homemade look.    To be honest, I am not a good cake decorator. I realized it was a little slanted. But, oh well…..
