Suppose to look like egg-shelf chocolate cookies

I'm not able to re-locate the recipe, too bad. This cookies should look more beautiful, I should say, it should look beautiful but I was failed to do so :P

It should look like having egg-shelf covering and cracking a bit. But what I have was rough rough surface :P

Classic Chocolate Cake

Just feel to eat chocolate cake and here you go:


A classic chocolate cake from Happy Home Baking.
According to the recipe, my cake should crack all over the top but it didn't :P But for sure, the taste is goOOod!!

Should have beautified my cake with icing sugar, but forgot about it :P

Kuih Bahulu

1st attempt on this cute cake for my sons, who are not feeling well but they surely love sweet cute little cake ^.^

This cake was not as hard as what we can get from NTUC. It was more spongy and I reduce the sugar so that it won't be too sweet for my kids. My grandma-in-law likes this too and said must do again for coming chinese new year.

Yule Log for Christmas

Hahahaa.. normally we won't purposely buy a yule log to celebrate Christmas. This year, I brave enough to try baking one ^.^ let's take a look:


Not bad for the 1st attempt hei.. :P You may notice there's little improvement on the rolling of the cake as I failed when trying out on the sugar roll and I remind myself to make the cake thinner so that it won't break ^.^

Coffee Sugar Roll

My 1st attempt trying out my favorite: Sugar Roll.
Result: GoOOood!!!

You may notice it's not successfully roll up as it tends to break. But the buttercream and texture of the roll was fantastic!

It was originally a vanilla flavour, but I replaced with little bit of coffee paste instead.

Sesame Seed Soda Biscuit

I choose to bake this cookies cause the steps were so simple. But after the 1st batch was "tested", I decided to add chocolate rice into the batter and luckily I do that!


It was very hard, not sure if I didn't make it thin enough. But I feel that this is not suitable for my kids :P So, the adults gets to enjoy the cookies only :P

鸡蛋糕 - Chinese Traditional Cake

This recipe is so simple BUT... personally, I feel that it was a bit dry.
As you can see from the photos (except the lighting), the look & texture was perfect!

I will try out another recipe that use only a small bowl as measurement, let's see how it turns out ^.^

Dang dang dang dang.... here come another recipe:


Taste-wise, I prefer this as not as dry as the previous one. Amazingly, this recipe only require: 1 bowl of flour, 1 bowl of eggs and 1 bowl of sugar ^.^

Buttermilk Pancakes

Nice & spongy pancakes!

Wow, this is really spongy and taste just nice! Very simple recipe and with my daughter's favorite chocolate chips, it certainly the best choice for breakfast or tea break ^.^

I better write down the recipe here so that it can be referred easily:

Ingredients:
# 240g self-rising flour* + 1/4 tsp baking soda --> sift in a bowl
@ 1/4 tsp salt
@ 50g sugar*
@ 375ml buttermilk* (1ml = 1g)
@ 2 eggs* lightly beaten
@ 4 tbsp corn oil/canola oil/sunflower oil*
@ 1/2 vanilla essence

Steps:
1. Add all @ ingredients into # and stir still smooth.
2. Use a 1/3 cup (greased with butter so that batter will not stick on cup while pouring to pan for baking, optional) to scoop the batter and pour on pan.
3. You may put your favorite chocolate chips on top of the batter.
4. DO NOT press the pancake, just wait patiently till you see air-bubbles popping out on the surface.
5. Flip the pancake and cook for a little while (around 40sec - 1mins).
6. Please adjust the heat accordingly ^.^

Half the ingredients marked * if you just want to make 6-8 8cm pancakes

Kueh Bangkit

Baked this set of cookies for the youngest one as it will melt in his mouth! This is my daughter & grandma-in-law's favorite too! Another recipe from Aunty Yochana ^.^

Not sure if I use the mold like aunty's one would it be better? As I found it would be better if it can be a little bit "fluffy"?

Lemon Cupcakes

Forgot already where I got this recipe from but as I mentioned earlier, wanted to try out citrus flavor cake... so, here what I got ^.^

Actually last weekend I planned to visit a friend of mine. She was celebrating her grandma's birthday and invites me and my daughter to join. So, I decorated few of the cupcakes with colorful sprinkles and chocolate chips for the girls (her 2 lovely daughters and my daughter).

But my 2 naughty boys were giving my trouble and didn't take their nap till 5pm. It would be very hard for my maid to entertain the boys at 9pm later as the boys would still be very energetic by then.

If they take their nap like usual, around 2pm, by 9plus @ night, the youngest will need to "re-charge battery" (sleep) already. So, my maid only need to entertain the big boy.... So, end up, I didn't go :(


But I promised my friend that I will bake strawberries shortcake and few cupcakes for her girl's coming birthday ^.^

Lime Mousse Cake

Another attempt on trying out recipe from Aunty Yochana, this time >> Lime Mousse Cake.

The decoration of aunty's cake attracted me to try out this recipe. Part of it also because i wanted to bake citrus kind of flavor cake, so... dang dang dang dang....

Proudly presents here my 1st lime mousse cake, decorated by my daughter and me, of course lar... she 4 years old only, will not be able to line up the heartshape sprinkles, what's more, it will end up in her mouth :P

Ermh... I'm not a milk person and this cake gives me the taste of milk (guess I didn't pour enough of lime juice though I have already did pour 5 tbsp of lime juice from MARIGOLD - Peel Fresh Lime Juice) :P But it was fun decorating the cake with my daughter ^.^

Kiwi Shortcake

The original recipe was coming from Aunty Yochana ^.^ But I do not have strawberries, so I tried it out using kiwi.

I think the recipe was requesting me to cut the cake into 3 slices but I feel that my cake was too thick to stack up like aunty :( So, I cut the cake into 2 layers :P


My cake texture was dry though I just bake for 40minutes :( will check with aunty why is that so and hope there's a solution cause I intend to do strawberries one this coming weekend plus double up the whipped cream as well. My daughter said she likes pink/red, doesn't like green :P

Ice Cream

Shake! Shake! Shake! Here comes ice-cream:


Well, I was the one that did a lot of the shaking compare to my daughter, who complaint the package was very heavy for her :P

I found this from youtube website on making ice-cream without using machine ^.^ So wanted to try it out with my daughter and it really amazing!

Just that it melts so fast the moment I rinse the zip lock bag (cause salt was sticking all over) and squeeze out the ice-cream, it was already melted a bit :P
