Even though I don’t celebrate Halloween, I wanted to create something fun for this day. Since I didn’t have time to go to a baking shop to grab new supplies, I baked a Mocha Cake and decorate it Halloween style!

No-Mixer Okara Chocolate Cake [Eggless & Dairy-Free]
![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…
One-Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes with Vegan Chocolate Frosting For Two [4 Cupcakes]
![One-Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes with Vegan Chocolate Frosting For Two [4 Cupcakes]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/DSC08434-320x320.jpg)
I was looking through my old recipes to revamp them and I saw a really old Vanilla Cupcakes recipe blogged 9 years back (my blog is turning 10 years next oh my god!) Not only were the photos horrible, they weren’t even rotated upright (meaning you are looking at the cupcakes sideways)… so they are definitely…
Piña Colada Cake (Egg Yolk Cake + Pineapple Filling + Rum Swiss Meringue Buttercream)
Woo hoo~ Today 10 July is National Piña Colada Day! Piña Colada is a famous cocktail originating from Puerto Rico, made with rum, coconut cream/coconut milk and pineapple juice. It was claimed that the bartender of Caribe Hilton Hotel’s Beachcomber Bar, Ramón “Monchito” Marrero Pérez, was the creator of this cocktail in 1954. Another restaurant…
Egg White Cupcakes with Dark Chocolate Ganache Frosting
After my éclair-baking spree for the past two weeks, I find myself with leftover egg whites from making the pastry cream. So I turned to the books for a cake recipe to use up the egg whites and I stumbled upon Rose Levy Beranbaum’s White Velvet Butter Cake recipe. I adapted the recipe and turn them…
Eggless Baileys Chocolate Pudding [Small Serving, For Two]
![Eggless Baileys Chocolate Pudding [Small Serving, For Two]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/DSC07969-320x320.jpg)
Happy National Chocolate Pudding Day (26 June)! To be honest, I have absolutely no idea who created this day – but I would really like to thank him or her for creating this day (and also the person who invented pudding) because I never, ever knew that chocolate pudding can be so easy to make,…
Triple Chocolate Éclairs
Today is National Chocolate Éclairs Day! So… Happy Chocolate Éclairs Day! I recently added the National Food Day (you can get it here!) calendar into my Google Calendar to motivate myself to bake/cook more new dishes and to revisit some of the old favourites that are in a dire need of a revamp (seeing some of the…
No-Mixer Sablés Viennois (Buttery Vanilla Cookies)
I’m back from my holiday! It was my first time to the USA and while it’s nice to visit cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the national parks were the ones which left the deepest impressions. Will try my best to finish up my Eastern Europe trip (oops) so I can start on the…
One-Bowl Mint Chocolate Cupcakes (With Chocolate-Mint Swiss Meringue Frosting)
Chocolate can never go wrong for desserts. But chocolate and mint? That’s a double winner right there. I’ve always loved mint chocolate (you know those After Eight and Andes chocolate mint thins? I used to devour lots at one go, regardless of the time of the day haha). Funny though, I seldom baked any chocolate and…
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…
Vanilla Granola [With Nuts & Dried Blueberries]
![Vanilla Granola [With Nuts & Dried Blueberries]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/DSC04112-320x320.jpg)
I don’t have the habit of eating cereal since young hence after a few months eating granola for breakfast (see my peanut butter and chocolate ones), I stopped because I wanted a break from it. When the craving for granola came back again, I decided to make a different flavour of granola, just so I have new…
Vanilla Gelato
I have a love-hate relationship with ice cream. I love eating it, but I hate the calories and fat it gives me. So today I’m sharing a low-fat ice cream recipe! Nah I’m just kidding, I don’t believe there’s such a thing as low-fat ice cream. It’s either you eat it, or you don’t. So if I’m going to…
Opera Cake
Hello! Today I’m sharing an Opera Cake recipe, which is a French cake made with layers of joconde (a type of almond sponge cake) soaked in coffee syrup, layered with ganache and coffee-flavoured buttercream and covered in a chocolate glaze. This kind of cake is also known as an entremet because of the many components, complexity and…
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…
Cookie Dough Brownies
Ever thought of how brownies and cookies will taste together? Well, with these cookie dough brownies, you have the perfect marriage of buttery and crispy cookie with chocolatey and fudgy brownies. Served with cream or even better still – ice cream – and it’s hard not to fall in love with them!
Japanese Strawberry Shortcake
Taking a break from Chinese New Year baking and diving into Valentine’s Day baking – Japanese Strawberry Shortcake! Okay not really because I don’t even celebrate this day in the first place… oops! The reason why I’m baking this cake is because the theme of Bake-Along’s this time round is Strawberry Shortcake and since strawberry is…
Cashew Cookies [Chinese New Year Goodie]
![Cashew Cookies [Chinese New Year Goodie]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/DSC00749-320x320.jpg)
Here is a another new Chinese New Year goodie that I’ve baked this year – cashew cookies! In the past, due to work, I only have time to make guaranteed-success Chinese New Year goodies, such as my pineapple tarts or kueh lapis, as I don’t have time to experiment on recipes. But this year is different! I have tried…
Vanilla Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes with Blueberry Cream
As promised, here is another Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes recipe! I wanted to bake a full Blueberry Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes but because my stash of blueberries is extremely precious (couldn’t find any blueberries here), I don’t want to use them all in these cupcakes, so I made some Vanilla Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes instead and incorporated the blueberries…
Spiced Stained Glass Cookies
It’s only one more week to Christmas! How is everyone’s Christmas baking/cooking going? This year I’ve been steering away from the usual log cakes (healthier version one here and the more sinful one here) – baking cookies and assembling a different type of cake altogether. I saw a recipe on stained glass cookies while browsing my cookie cookbook…
Baileys Tiramisu Cake {Christmas Version}
I saw a chocolate Christmas Tree decoration on a white cake on Pinterest recently and I really wanted to try it out because it’s simple and so classy looking! But the problem is I cannot decide what cake to make. In the end I settled with my favourite cake – the Tiramisu Cake.
Christmas Tree Cookies (Nigella’s Rainy Day Biscuits)
Wow can you believe it’s December already? The weather here is getting colder and colder everyday (it was 5C yesterday morning!) and sometimes all I want to do is just wrap myself up in a blanket and snooze away on the sofa… but that will be such a waste of valuable time! So here I am, churning out…
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…
Mini Coconut Cheesecakes
Buying coconut milk used to be a headache when I first moved here because I couldn’t tell the difference between coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut milk lite. In Singapore it’s really easy because I usually just buy the fresh ones and there are only two types – big size and small size. But thankfully now I…
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…
Halloween Graveyard Cupcakes
Growing up in Singapore, I noticed that Halloween is an event more for teens/adults than kids. We don’t see kids trotting down the streets in adorable “horror” costumes, knocking door-to-door saying “trick-or-treat!”, like what we often see in American movies. Instead, during the month of October, theme parks in Singapore will organise Halloween Horror Nights and hire actors/actresses…
