This is one of the rare cases where the supporting “actor” is better than the lead “actor” 😛 I had a stash of frozen mango purée that I had to finish up before we move back to Singapore so I decided to bake a Mango Pound Cake. Not wanting to dress the pound cake with…

Mocha Cake (Chocolate Cake, Coffee Buttercream, Chocolate Ganache)
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!
Salted Egg Yolk Cream Puffs
I brought back a new ingredient when I went back to Singapore recently – salted egg yolks in powder form! Salted egg is a preserved food product made by soaking duck eggs in brine or packing them in damp, salted charcoal. The resulting egg will have a white that is salty and a yolk that…
Coffee Cheesecake with Chocolate Ganache
It’s been more than a year since I last posted a cheesecake recipe here! The reason why I seldom bake cheesecakes these days is because there’s a bit of planning involved – and I’m just not a planner person when it comes to cheesecakes. Whenever I have a craving for cheesecakes, I usually won’t have…
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…
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…
Easy Crustless Quiche for One
Quiche is one of X’s of favourite brunch options on weekends, but for me to wake up early to make the crust, blind bake the crust and make the quiche filling for just one serving – I’d rather sleep in 😛 So to make my life easier and yet satisfy X’s cravings, I go for a crustless…
30-Minute Easy Cream Scones
As part of my not-very-working diet regime, I have been eating homemade granola and chia seeds with Greek yogurt for breakfast/brunch almost everyday. But once again, I got a little sick of this breakfast (it’s good to have changes once in a while, no?) and I was so craving for something warm – hence these cream…
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…
Classic Chocolate Tart
I love tarts – give me anything with a tart crust and I will devour it immediately and probably go for a second serving. But tart making can be quite a chore because of the tart base – I don’t own a food processor yet so all the rubbing/cutting of butter into the flour has to…
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…
Shepherd’s Pie
When I went back to Singapore for a month in June while X stayed in the country, I prepared a few types of freezer meals so that it would be easier for him to cook his own dinner. There’s frozen marinated pork slices (gochujang, bulgogi and ginger soy sauce) which just need to be stir-fried and go with steamed white rice….
Seafood Pasta al Cartoccio (Seafood Pasta in Parchment Parcels)
Seafood pasta makes frequent appearance on our dining table because seafood cooks fast and they are really satisfying (in terms of look and in terms of belly-happiness). I’ve shared a creamy velouté and a simple and garlicky aglio olio on the blog before, so this time round I’m back with a tomato-based seafood pasta al cartoccio, inspired by one of favourite bloggers who share plenty…
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…
One-Pot Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani)
Jump to: Step-by-Step Photos · Recipe Sorry for the absence on the blog! Been a little distracted by dramas and games last week so blogging has been put aside, but now I’m back for good (as long as I don’t start a new game or drama haha). Today’s recipe is an incredibly simple and delicious…
Matcha Mousse Cake
If you are a fan of matcha, you will love this Matcha Mousse Cake – easy matcha sponge cake filled with creamy and light matcha mousse, adorned with caramel-y, crunchy and nutty sesame brittle – I wonder why I haven’t made this sooner?! The sponge cake recipe is very similar to the one I used in my…
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…
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…
Lemon Curd Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes
I don’t know why but I’m recently hooked on making Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes. The combination of the soft, fluffy and spongy chiffon cake with the sweetened whipped cream makes such a light, delectable and pretty treat – and one is always not enough for me, I have to eat at least 2 at one go!
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.
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…
Pandan Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes
Hokkaido chiffon cupcakes are the rage over the past few years and I can understand why – pillowy soft sponge cakes filled with a generous amount of sweetened whipped cream or custard, what’s not to love? I had tried baking a few of them before but they all didn’t turn out very well, hence they only made it…
Devil’s Food Cupcakes with Fresh Mint Chocolate Frosting
This intensely chocolatey and moist chocolate cupcake, frosted with a refreshing and not-too-sweet chocolate and mint buttercream, then drizzled with a luscious and rich chocolate ganache, is perhaps one of the most delicious and chocolatey cupcakes I’ve ever baked and eaten.
Molten Coffee-Vanilla Cake
I was so excited when Raymund from Ang Sarap invited me to do a guest post on his blog – it’s such an honour! I brainstormed high and low for recipes and in the end decided on a dessert as it’s how Foodie Baker (previously known as Food Is My Life) started, a site to chronicle my…
3-Ingredient No-Churn Coconut Ice Cream
I had leftover coconut milk from the curry-cooking last week so while thinking what to do with them, I suddenly had a craving for coconut ice cream. I first tried coconut ice cream in Chatuchak, Thailand –  served in a young coconut shell and garnished with toasted pine nuts and fresh coconut meat, it was superbly…
Easy 3-Ingredient No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream
Do you love homemade vanilla ice cream but can’t stand the thought of cooking the custard or freezing the troublesome ice cream machine component? Fret not! Because I have an extremely easy vanilla ice cream recipe to share today. It doesn’t need an ice cream machine, doesn’t involve the cooking of a custard (i.e. no eggs needed),…
Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Mousse Filling and Peanut Butter Frosting
This is my current favourite and by far, the most-produced cupcake combination in the kitchen, and I finally felt a need to blog about them. The very first chocolate and peanut butter combination came from here (pardon the quality of those photos heh), which is also a cupcake, but has a different cake recipe. It’s a bit more troublesome…
