Carrot and Orange Cake
Winter is very synonymous with carrots and oranges at my place. Perhaps something to do with the cold season during my growing up years in India when this kind of produce was seasonal. Before I share the recipe for this truly amazing Carrot and Orange cake, I would like to apologise for my long … Read More
Honey and Apple Granola Cake
I have promised this recipe weeks ago but I haven't been able to sit down and open my website at all, let alone post a recipe. I apologise! A few significant changes (good changes) are happening in my life at the moment and I have been really busy. I will share when the time comes. This is my … Read More
Eggless Oreo Chocolate Cupcakes
Who does not love an Oreo cookie? I have to admit though, I love the treats made with Oreo cookies even more. Especially when they are crumbed and mixed into baked goods. These cupcakes not only include a double dose of Oreo cookies because there is a cookie inserted in the middle of the cupcake … Read More
Chocolate and Almond Tart
Delicious and decadent Roasted Almond and Chocolate Ganache Tart in a buttery crust, decorated with whipped chocolate ganache. I make tarts quite often! They are like my blank canvas to play with colours, patterns and decorations. Some very easy ones that involve no baking at all and others … Read More
Berry and Apple Granola Streusel Cake
I baked a big batch of granola a few weeks ago. It was so delicious that I made a second batch with nuts and then another one with dried fruit. I was baking granola again after two years and suddenly I was hooked. The boys also wanted to add new things to their baking repertoire (how long can you bake cookies and brownies) so I introduced them to the world of granola. We ate them over yoghurt and custard and smoothies and then they got bored. I was left with 2 jar-fuls of granola and a head full of ideas how to use them. I made a delicious crumble that I will share later but this cake was pure delight. The top is so crunchy, the texture so beautiful encasing a layer of jammy berries and deliciously soft cake. Honestly, the cake is really easy to make but it involves a two step process. Make the granola first and then use it on the cake. You can make the granola ahead in time to keep it quick or even use store bought if that helps. Berry Streusel CakeMakes a 7 inch round cake 3/4 cup caster sugar150 g butter, softened2 teaspoons vanilla extract2 eggs1/2 cup milk1 1/3 cups self-raising flour1/3 cup plain flour1 apple, cored, peeled, chopped For the topping1/2 cup … Read More
Black Sesame Swirl Cake
I can't believe I am posting a new recipe here after so long. Ever since the lock-down I have been on my toes round the clock. If anything good has come out of this situation for me (this seems to be the question that gets asked often these days) is that I have had a break from driving 3 hours to and back for school drop offs and pick ups daily as the twins stayed at home. However there was distance learning aka home schooling to deal with. Hungry and impatient kids needing ongoing support and attention while I had my own projects lined up. Finally when Easter break came, a different challenge surfaced. How to find new ways of keeping kids engaged! They managed to pick up a few hobbies and interests but I have been struggling to do any of the things I enjoy. Like baking or photographing or writing. I feel for all the parents with young kids. As if life wasn't hard enough before the pandemic! Coming to this cake, if you've tried out treats from Asian bakeries, you might have come across black sesame flavour. It's nutty, fragrant and really lovely. This cake is actually way simpler than it looks. Part of the cake batter is mixed with black sesame powder and then the black batter … Read More
5 Ingredient Caramel Choc Chip Cookies
During this phase of lock down and uncertainty, one of the ways to remain calm is to create. Creating not only gives you a sense of direction and channelizes your energy into something positive, but it also gives you hope. I find baking immensely rewarding but now accompanied by family in the kitchen, the joy is ten-folds. We are baking a lot of cookies. If you always wanted your kids to start baking, there is no better time than now. Children are scared and lonely just like adults even though they may not know how to express it. Baking distracts them, teaches them a new skill and the allows them to use their hands and their minds to be creative. These caramel choc chips cookies are not only super easy, they can be adapted to add nuts, seeds, dried fruits. What's more, they are eggless! I hope you enjoy baking them with your family. Caramel Choc Chip CookiesMakes 30 medium sized cookies 200 g unsalted butter, softened1 cup brown sugar4 tbsp golden syrup2 cups self raising flour1 cup dark chocolate chips Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add golden syrup and beat until combined.Mix in … Read More
Blackberry and Rose Sheet Cake
Blackberries are so beautiful and affordable at this time of the year. As soon as I bought a sheet pan, that has been on my list for a while, I knew I had to inaugurate with an easy and divine tasting blackberry and rose sheet cake. Blackberries not only look stunning on their own but the purple-pink hue they leave behind when pureed or cooked is phenomenal. Hence, the highlight of this cake is the colour of frosting. Otherwise, it is a simple cake put together in one bowl and infused with rosewater. We are at the tail end of summer in Australia and it's sad to say goodbye to all the berries and stone fruits. I would love to squeeze in a few more summery recipes if I can. Meanwhile enjoy the season at your end of the world. Blackberry and Rose Sheet CakeServes 16 4 eggs, lightly whisked3/4 cup canola oil1 cup milk1/2 tsp rosewater3 cups self raising flour1 and 1/2 cup castor sugar1/2 cup blackberries (fresh or frozen) Blackberry Buttercream250 g unsalted butter, softened3 cups icing sugar3 tbsp fresh blackberry puree, strained 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
