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…
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…
Chinese Peanut Butter Cookies [Chinese New Year Goodie]
![Chinese Peanut Butter Cookies [Chinese New Year Goodie]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/DSC00814-320x320.jpg)
Here’s another Chinese New Year goodie that I love very much since I was a kid – Peanut Cookies! The traditional and authentic chinese peanut cookies are not easy to make at all – first raw peanuts have to be shelled and roasted. The peanut skin is then peeled off and the peanuts are ground into a powder. The peanut…
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…
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!
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…
Julia Child’s Basic Crêpes Recipe (For Both Savoury and Sweet)
Crêpe is a type of French pancake that can be used for both savoury and sweet dishes. For savoury dishes, crêpes can be rolled up with a filling made of fish, meat or vegetables inside, spread with sauce and browned in the oven, or piled up like a lasagna and heated up in the oven. Sweet crêpes…
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…
Apple and Peanut Butter Galette
I’ve always loved eating pies and tarts but I seldom make them because making them seemed too tedious to me sometimes – the cutting of butter and shortening into the flour, waiting for the dough to rest, rolling it out and praying that it will not tear / stick, blind-baking it, making the filling, then baking again… all these seemed…
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…
Homemade “Oreos” Sans Filling
Are you a fan of Oreo? I’m not a super huge fan of them, but there will be times when I have occasional cravings for them. The small packages of 3 cookies make a great snack whenever my mouth is itching for a bite. And the weirdest thing is I like them without the cream, are…
Peanut Butter, Oatmeal & Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cookies are one of my favourite snacks – they are small, cute, and feel a lot less sinful when eating one of them as compared to eating a cake. The unbaked cookie dough can also be easily frozen, so I love to freeze some whenever I make cookies and save them for a rainy day. (Figuratively,…
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.
Pandan-Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting + Happy 50th Birthday Singapore!
A fragrant and moist pandan-coconut cake filled and frosted with a delicious and creamy cream cheese frosting, with the sides covered with toasted dessicated coconut and the top decorated into the flag of the country that I grew up in – my way of wishing Singapore a happy 50th birthday!
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…
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…
Black & White Sesame Chequered Cookies
When we moved, I thought that I may not be able to find certain ingredients, such as black sesame seeds (as it’s more commonly used in Asian cuisines), so I was quite surprised to find not just white, but also black sesame seeds in the local markets! Black sesame desserts are one of my favourites because of its…
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,…
