![No-Mixer Okara Chocolate Cake [Eggless & Dairy-Free]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/DSC_5686-320x320.jpg)
If you make your own homemade soy milk, you will always end up with a by-product – the soy pulp, also known as tofu dregs or okara. Okara is an extremely nutritious by-product, containing proteins, soluble and non-soluble fibre and isoflavones. However, okara has a slightly gritty texture that I don’t enjoy with my soy milk, so…
Cake: Everyday
No-Mixer Banana Loaf / Bread / Cake with Peanut Butter Swirl
Before going for a holiday, it is a must for my friend and I to purge the refrigerator and the pantry to make sure there won’t be any mouldy or smelly surprises waiting for us when we return home. There were times when we would pass each other groceries that we couldn’t finish (the beauty…
Eggless Yogurt Chocolate Cake [No-Mixer, One-Bowl]
![Eggless Yogurt Chocolate Cake [No-Mixer, One-Bowl]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/DSC05978-320x320.jpg)
Even though I had my fair share of sweet treats during our recent 3-week Eastern Europe holiday, when we reached back home, I immediately wanted to bake something the next day (what’s wrong with me seriously!) But there was no egg at home, instead I had a small tub of yogurt stashed in the freezer. After some searching, I…
No-Mixer Double Chocolate Banana Cake / Bread
To me, banana is a holiday fruit. I only eat them when I go on holidays because it’s a quick source of energy and easy to bring along when we go on hikes. So when the grocer gave me some “free” bananas a few weeks back (before we went on a holiday), I started looking for…
Mrs NgSK’s Butter Cake [Flat Top with Egg-Separation Method]
![Mrs NgSK’s Butter Cake [Flat Top with Egg-Separation Method]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSC05324-320x320.jpg)
I think butter cake is my most-eaten cake during my childhood. My mom would occasionally buy a loaf for our breakfast or sometimes treating us to a butterfly butter cupcake after our swimming lessons. The first cake that my mom baked after buying the our first oven is also a butter cake! I love butter cakes – they are soft, buttery, have this skin…
Honey Financiers – No-Mixer, Easy & Delicious Mini Cakes
A financier, formerly known as visitandine, is a small French almond cake that is light but moist, with a crisp exterior. It is usually made in small rectangular loaves, which gives the cake its name financier, as it looks like a bar of gold. Though this mini cake cannot be sold for the same price as a bar of…
No-Mixer Eggless Chocolate Cake
Ever faced a situation whereby you wanted to bake a cake but found out there’s no eggs at home? That’s what happened to me a couple of months back when I wanted to bake something for X’s breakfast the next day. But thanks to my virtual best friend, Google, I found an eggless chocolate cake recipe that is…
Nigella’s Honey Chocolate Cake
I first blogged about this honey chocolate cake back in 2011 and I thought this would be a great chance to update this recipe with both clearer instructions and better photos as it fits the Little Thumbs Up theme this month – honey! I always have a jar of honey at home – besides mixing spoonfuls of it with…
No-Mixer Chocolate Marble Yogurt Cake
After making my super easy one-bowl and no-mixer lemon yogurt cake, I was so craving for a chocolate version so I tweaked the base recipe to create this chocolate marble yogurt cake. Light, fluffy, moist and delicious, though this cake is no longer a one-bowl recipe as I need an additional one for the chocolate batter, it’s still…
Easy One-Bowl No-Mixer Lemon Yogurt Cake
I was craving a tea-time treat 2 days back and I ended up baking this incredibly easy, simple, one-bowl and no-mixer yogurt cake flavoured with a little lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. They go sooo well with the Earl Grey tea I was having that I went for a second slice, with an additional…
Mini Marble Cakes + Versatile Blogger Award
There are many variations of marble cake recipes out there – many I’ve known to be be dense, buttery and greasy. I love this kind of cakes but I often stop myself after a slice as it’s just too heavy and oily. But this, this is definitely waist-line dangerous as it’s so light and tender that…
Sweet Potato Mini Cakes
I bought a few sweet potatoes last month to make green bean soup and ended up with one lonely sweet potato at the end. This lonely one sat in the pantry for quite some time before I decided that it’s high time to use it. So while browsing through the Cake Keepers Cake, I found a sweet…
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Mini Cakes
Since I have leftover peanut butter from my previous cupcake bake and that we don’t eat white bread with spread for breakfast (X hates that kind of bread and I usually have a more heavy brunch), I decided to look for a cake recipe that can be eaten as breakfast or snack – a win-win…
Nigella’s Mother-in-Law’s Madeira Cake
When I saw that the theme for Bake-Along this time round is Madeira Cake, I decided to Google and find out what’s so special about this cake that is named after a place in Portugal. It turns out that the cake is not from Portugal, but originated in England around the 1800s, and that its name, Madeira,…
THB #35: Almond Streusel Baileys Cake
Realised I’ve been posting lots of savoury food these days, so let’s take a break and head over to desserts first! This is another overdue The Home Bakers bake (sorry for the delay!), chosen by Mich from Piece of Cake. This bake is very similar to other THB bakes, whereby a streusel topping is topped…
THB #34: White Chocolate Almond Souffle Cake
Blogging is like running – once you lose the momentum, it can be real hard to start again. I have been taking such a long break from blogging that sometimes I just don’t know how and where to start. Many a times I sit in front of my laptop wanting to type a post, but…
THB #33: Holiday Berry-Nut Cake
Where did all the time go?! This is probably my longest break I’ve ever taken from blogging – and it’s not because I’m away on a holiday or something (well, I was away on a holiday for a short while…) work has been swamping like crazy that whenever I sat down in front of my…
THB #32: Blueberry-Almond Coffee Cake
Time for the The Home Bakers event again! All these baking/cooking events are what keep me going despite the busy schedule – it really motivates me to not neglect my blog too much! And it’s also motivating me to hit the gym / yoga studio more often… a moment on your lips, forever on your…
THB #30: Chocolate Walnut Coffee Cake
Been a really long time since I last blogged, pardon the absence! Managed to sneak some time amidst all the overtime (work) to blog this simple and delicious cake! This is a bake that you most likely won’t find in cafés – purely because it doesn’t look as pretty as those that are frosted or…
THB #24: Peach-Almond Coffee Cake
It’s time for a belated Home Bakers again… oops! Sorry for the delay! I baked this cake twice as I wasn’t very happy with the first attempt, hence missing the dateline for this bake. This time, we are baking a very simple peach butter cake, chosen by Chaya from Bizzy Bakes – I really love…
Chocolate Cream Pound Cake
I missed the previous Bake Along for rugelach as my attempt wasn’t very successful… A little disappointed and discouraged over the bake, I was very delighted when I noted that the next Bake Along is a chocolate pound cake! Chocolate always has the ability to pick me up, does it have the same effect on…
Chocolate Olive Oil Almond Cake (Nigella)
This is my 4th recipe for Nigella this month! How I wish this theme is extended for another month or something, there are just too many recipes of hers to try! But now I have to start trying out Pioneer Woman’s recipes as she’s our theme for the Cook Like A Star event next month…
THB #21: Pear Caramel Streusel Cake
I’m really thankful that The Home Bakers event has such a long duration for us to post the recipe, otherwise I would have missed this bake! Sorry for the very plain styling of photos… I usually like to bake on Saturdays so that I will have plenty of time to style and shoot them on…
THB#20: Raisin-Almond-Orange Coffee Cake
We are reaching the end of June! Half of 2013 is going to be gone soon, how is everyone’s year so far? Last week Singapore was hit by a severe haze problem and I’m glad that the haze has cleared up pretty much now. Now I just hope the haze would clear up in other…
THB #19: Lemon-Glazed Buttermilk Cake and a SNAPWARE Surprise!
It’s time for The Home Bakers again! This time the cake was chosen by Grace from Life Can Be Simple. The cake is mixed together without the use of a mixer (hooray!) and without the use of butter (oil is the fat here). Oil-based cakes are moist and tender, and this cake is no exception!…
The Home Bakers#18: Blueberry Almond Cake
It’s time for The Home Bakers again! This is supposed to be a marionberry (a type of blackberry) filled cake made with ground hazelnut, chosen by Janis of The Kitchen is my Shrink. Because blackberries are crazily expensive here, I substituted them with blueberries and decided to swap the hazelnut for almond as I already…
The Home Bakers #16: Black Tea-Lemon Cornmeal Cupcakes
After getting my cornmeal last week, I finally attempted the Rosemary-Lemon Polenta Cake, chosen by Angela of The Charmed Cupcake. I scaled the recipe down and baked only 1/4 of the cake and ended up with 6 muffins/cupcakes. Unfortunately, no one in the family liked the taste of rosemary in the cake. I have to…
