Chocolate Marble Cake

This is yummy! I'm going to try baking "Chocolate Marble BREAD" this weekend. Hopefully another satisfy outcome ^.^

Coffee Bun

1st coffee bun from the house ^.^

And I have two helpers with my sifting of flour and kneading of batter:


hahahaa.. the outcome was a bit hard but eatable lar.... hahahaa guess need a lot of improvement. I'm planning to make this again this weekend! Hopefully I will get a better result.

Here comes my 2nd attempt on coffee bun from another recipe @ Aunty Yochana's blog:


Little help from my lovely daughter, see videos wrapping the bun with butter & piping the topping:

I love the look of my 1st attempt and the taste/texture of my 2nd attempt... how nei... Should I try again? Ehhh.... I think nop. Maybe some others bun ^.^

Mocha Mousse Layered Cake

1st attempt on mousse cake, result? Too soft :P

The sponge cake was nice! But the mocha mousse is too soft even after putting in the fridge for a day :P Guess I've put too much of butter to the chocolate.

Question: Why I never follow the recipe on the amount of butter? Cause I was following a chocolate mousse recipe actually. But wanted to make it mocha by adding espresso powder. Then I "act-smart" lor, wanted to use up the whole packet of cocoa-block (200g, recipe call for 175g), so I added more butter lor... and also scare sweet, and added more bittersweet chocolate droplets! So, end up... too soft lor :P

Will certainly try this again, with the correct measurement for sure!! Why? Because of them...

Mocha Cookies, miaow~!

Originally, this was not a mocha cookies. When I finished mixing the batter, the buttery flavor was so strong that I have to do something about it!

hahahaa... so, I put a few drops of coffee flavor and some chocolate rice and the result? Great!My daughter can finish 6 cookies @ ONE-GO!!!

See the picture showing my two helpers busy with the cat-cookie-cutter! One trying to do it properly, seriously. Another, anyhow anyway ^.^ End up, daddy said "come on! go pom-pom! (bath)" Then I got back my cookie-cutter and finish the rest ^.^

Lemon Chiffon Cake

hahaaa.. another flavor to add into my chiffon cake collection. This round, I presented LEMON chiffon cake ^.^

Actually I bought the lemon for another cake recipe. But the cornmeal needed was spoilt, so have to think of other recipe that uses the fresh lemon juice.

It doesn't really give us the strong lemon flavor but it does give light refreshing taste!

4 Layered Mocha Cake

A very interesting recipe. It was supposed to be 12 layered cake but I think it would be very hard to eat, so I didn't go for 12 ^.^ 4 layered, to be exact, it should call 6 layered including the mocha buttercream and chocolate buttercream :D









My lovely daughter helping me with the decoration, her favorite part in baking:


The cake was very soft and believe it or not, it didn't call for butter except for the buttercream <-- which obviously need BUTTER :)

The mocha flavor was just nice and the meringue layer was so special with the walnuts & peanuts (original calls for pecan ONLY but I've no pecan, so using walnut + grated peanuts instead), it gives a special crunchy bite ^.^

It was simple but need a lot of time to prepare. I will want to try out the chocolate mousse cake next!

Lemon Raisin Cake

Like usual, wanted to try out something other than chocolate or espresso ^.^


This is a very refreshing cake and the original version didn't call for raisin. I added raisin to "attract" my lovely kids, hahahaaa... I cut down the butter cause do not want the butter flavor overtook the lemon =)

The cake was moist, dense and taste gOOood! Will keep this for sure!

Mocha Muffins with Chocolate Chips & Pecan

All I can say is.... my kids love this!

The only thing I will change next time if I want to bake this: Should use a smaller muffin cup cause for a kid, it's too much I guess ^.^ The espresso smell was so nice and the chocolate chips was the attraction to have another bite :)

Let's that a look of the inner beauty of the muffin =) I will definitely make this again very soon!

Espresso Chiffon Cake

I've been thinking to try other flavor of chiffon cakes, not orange nor pandan. I like both Chocolate and Coffee/Espresso but I just tried out the Cake Fondant Ultra Chocolate, so take the challenge/courage to try out espresso version of chiffon cake ^.^

The result:
hahahaaa.. look nice, taste of espresso not that strong as expected :P


Will I try it again? Yes, with chocolate version ^.^

macaroon oh macaroon

I wanted to try out this long ago but do not have the time and found it tedious to prepare as it needs to be sandwiched with chocolate ganache.

But well, my precious daughter just pick this recipe out of all stack of the papers and wanted to bake this with me. What can I do? Do lor... bake lor....

Hahaaa.. here's the photo of her helping me to pipe the macaroon on the parchment paper and the output:



I didn't prepare the chocolate ganache although I've a bowl of leftover when I baked the mocha cake cause I found it would be too sweet for kids.

Moment of truth: well, I wouldn't try to bake this not because it was not nice, but the effort. Taste like a chocolate almond cookies due to the almond ingredient it called.

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Well, same like others... the recipe didn't call for coffee/espresso but still, it's a coffee cake. I've checked out many recipes but the traditional coffee cake really didn't call for what we thought it should be. In fact, it calls for "cinnamon" =)

My 1st attempt of trying out this recipe because of the great review from others. So, decided to try it out and see if they are just too "friendly" to give nice review or it really deserves it ^.^

Let's take a look of the outer-beauty:

Well, it raised up beautifully and the "interface", including the look&color is just perfect! My kids just keep biting the streusel topping and keep saying "ermMMmmm... niiIiice..." So, you know how the result goes ^.^ contented!

The texture was moist but yet not too dense and the main focus was on the streusel as it gives you a good-bite out of normal cake-like piece of coffee cake =)

The only thing I gotta say is.. it will make you full with just a piece of it! Give a try and you wouldn't regret about it!
