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…

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…

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…
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!
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…
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.
Fresh Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
My mint plant had suffered a heat stroke while I was away on holiday in Denmark (the auto-watering system failed to auto water the plant), I’m not sure if it will revive but I’m glad I used some of the mint leaves and baked these cookies before I went away.
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.
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…
Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake
And here is the last installment of the Cheesecake series (here’s the first and second one)! You have perhaps seen this cheesecake on my Instagram, when I brought this cheesecake to office for my colleagues. One of my colleagues requested for an Oreo cheesecake, but because I’ve already made one before, I decided to adapt…
Chocolate Kahlua Crêpe Cake
Crêpe cake has been something on my to-make list for a very, very long time – the seemingly tons of layers look so attractive and I’ve always wondered how it tastes like. So when my friend’s birthday drew near, I decided to give it a try! Given the fact that I have only one chance…
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…
Cream Cheese Brownies (Nigella)
This is probably the most “cheaterbug” cream cheese brownies I’ve ever made. I love the fact that I don’t have to make 2 batters – just one chocolate brownie batter, with delicious and rich cream cheese slices sandwiched in the middle. Pure indulgence! The only thing is that I found the brownies a tad too…
Egg White Chocolate Brownies
Gooey, chocolatey, fudgy and silky goodness You might have noticed a lack of post lately… I was down with a mixture of cough, sore throat and flu about 3 weeks ago for 2 weeks (I blame it on the Chinese New Year goodies) and I could hardly taste anything – so there was no baking…
THB #29: Dark Chocolate Cheesecake + Corelle Cherish & Snapware Eco Flow Review
Time for The Home Bakers again! This time we are making a lovely chocolate cheesecake, chosen by MiMi Bakery House. This is one of my favourite bakes though I deviated from the original recipe quite significantly – this is originally a white chocolate cheesecake! But after siezing two batches of white chocolate over the double…
Baileys Chocolate Snow Skin Mooncakes
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming! Having tried my hand at making snow skin mooncakes last year, I decided to try out more this year using new recipes and flavour combinations. I’m not a fan of snow skin mooncakes (still prefer my traditional baked ones with just plain red bean paste), but I love making them as…
Totally Chocolate Chip Cookies (Nigella)
Everyone knows what their perfect cookies is like. Some will want their cookie soft, some will want it crispy, some will want it chewy, some will want it sticky… And some will want a combination of a few characteristics, like soft and sticky or crispy and chewy. What’s yours? For me, I have cravings for…
Choux Party: Double Chocolate Cream Puffs
I’ve never thought I’d be a hostess for an event – no reason why… maybe I thought no one will participate in the event I host? Haha what a weird me I know. But being a hostess for this Choux Party has really motivated me to plan ahead what I want to bake for the…
The Home Bakers #13: Dark Chocolate-Almond Cake
Want a slice? I took a short break last weekend – no baking, no cooking and no blogging (hence sorry for the lack of blogposts and no replies on the comments…) But now I’ve re-charged and am back, hopefully I’ll be able to clear my backlog of recipes and travel posts soon. 😉 I am…
Chocolate Log Cake with Varlhona Chocolate Mousse (A Healthier Version)
Everyone loves to celebrate Christmas with log cakes (aka yule logs), and I am no exception. Last year was my first attempt in making a log cake – a chocolate genoise with peanut butter buttercream frosting, covered with a layer of chocolate meringue buttercream, which looks like this: Food Advertising by This year, I decided…
Éclairs and an Award
Éclairs! I’ve missed several Bake Alongs and I’ve decided not to miss any more this time! (Okay, partly also because I’m dying to bake some choux as I love cream puffs and éclairs very much, so this Bake Along came just in time to satisfy my choux cravings!) In case you’re wondering, Bake Along is…
Aria Chocolate Tart
After smudging the table-counters, dirtying several table cloths and tea towels and numerous pots, bowls and plates with lots of chocolate and butter, I’ve finally prepared a MasterChef plated dessert for Aspiring Bakers and Cook Like A Star. Phew! The theme for this month’s Aspiring Bakers is Desserts on a Plate hosted by Swee San…
