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…
Butterfly Pea Flower Chiffon Cake – 蝶豆花戚风蛋糕
Sometimes it’s nice to have something special but still comforting. The colour of the chiffon cake comes from the Butterfly Pea Flower itself, even though it does not have much of a taste. Still, it looks stunning and definitely brightens up one’s mood. My brother grew a variety of herbs in the garden and I felt that Rosemary was a good fit to decorate the cake with it. However, the aroma of the herb can be alittle too overpowering for some. I felt that the warm ‘spice’ fragrant of the Rosemary was a nice complement to the chiffon cake. My brother didn’t like it. As usual, I try to replace…
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). Why not recreate a recipe using the flavour of Blackcurrant? That inspired me and hence, the recipe was created. When it comes to frosted cakes, I don’t like my slice of cake to have full of frostings. If you like, you could decorate the entire cake with the blackcurrant cream. The recipe makes just enough to cover the cake. However, I like mine to be decorated just on top of the sponge cake as I don’t like my cakes…
Jasmine Green Tea Chiffon Cake with Cheese
Recently, I have been quite obsessed with teas. I wonder, “Why not bake with it?”. Which, resulted in this wonderful chiffon cake recipe. I know the combination of Jasmine Green Tea and Cheese sounds weird. But, the Cheese actually complements quite well with the flavor of the leaves. 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. Indonesians love to sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese onto their cakes. I was intrigued to try it out and when I got to try it, it was lovely. To extract all the flavors out from the tea…
Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcake (北海道牛奶蛋糕)
If you are a fan of chiffon cakes, I’m sure you will know what is Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcake in Singapore and Malaysia This velvety soft cupcake filled with lovely creamy custard cream, is something you will dream of it. Fun fact: Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcake, also known as 北海道牛奶蛋糕, is not from Japan. It is actually originated in Singapore and Malaysia. There were two theories that why we named it, ‘Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcake’. 1) A chiffon cake that was made using Hokkaido Milk. 2) A cake that looks like a volcano that has a snow top and lava oozing out. Either way, this concept was beautifully created in Singapore/Malaysia and became really popular…
