Rosewater and Coconut cake
It is absolutely no secret how much I love rosewater. If there is one ingredient, I am madly in love with it is rosewater. Yes, even over chocolate! Though I am fully aware, there are some people who are not fond of it and find it overpowering. Actually the secret is in using the correct proportion. … Read More
Apple and Cinnamon Cake
You know, it's actually Spring and there are many fruits to choose from. Why an apple and cinnamon cake? Well, we are huge lovers of apples and eat them round the year. Being a Mum to school going children also means it's a lunchbox favourite. And then, if you're living on the other side of the … Read More
Neapolitan Spring Cake
Spring is in the air! The days are warmer and longer. Though the nights are still pretty cold, the flora and fauna is an absolute reminder of the gorgeous season. In Sydney, spring is a riot of pinks and purples, especially where I live on the hills. I love driving around the neighborhood where the … Read More

Chocolate and Strawberry Cake with Aeroplane Jelly Chocolate Dessert Mix
Disclaimer –This post is brought to you by Aeroplane Jelly. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are entirely my own. The last few weeks of winter! It’s funny how our seasons are diagonally opposite to the rest of the world. The great thing though is that it gives us the chance to whip up cosy, indulgent treats while the rest of the world is enjoying a berry smoothie. Now, would you rather drink a berry smoothie or eat a slice of this indulgent tower of chocolatey deliciousness? I’m always looking for creative, new desserts with chocolate. It’s especially fun to experiment with different flavour and filling combinations when you have a trusty, go-to chocolate cake recipe. I decided to enhance my layered chocolate mud cake with another level of decadence. Sandwiched between the layers of chocolate cake, is a Chocolate flavoured Dessert Mix that not only makes life easier as it is so easy to make and use, but it gives the cake a more decadent finish. Oozy layers of pudding like chocolate accompanied by fresh winter strawberries and rich mud cake. Need I say more? If you live in Australia, you already know the quintessentially Aussie favourite, Aeroplane … Read More
3-Ingredient Manuka Honey Cheesecake
Have you heard the saying that for a great chocolate dessert, one needs to use a superior quality chocolate? Its a no-brainier of course! Same goes with honey. The taste and quality of honey greatly determines the flavour of your honey based dessert. I'm a Manuka honey fan, though I have to admit it is expensive. Especially the ones with a higher grading. It is also regarded as a superfood with great medicinal properties. I am more interested in the flavour though which is so uniquely delicious. It is more intense than regular honey, almost close to the taste of caramel. And it's so worth it!You are welcome to try this out with regular honey is you don't have access to Manuka honey but the flavour would be a lot subtle in that case. And now for some exciting news! Did you see the new badges on my website's sidebar? Guys, I am a finalist for the AusMumpreneur Awards in both the Judge's as well as the People's Choice categories for which most of you had voted. Thank you so very much. I couldn't believe it when I saw the email from AusMumpreneur. My blog means everything to me and for it to turn into a full fledged business over the years was a dream come true. But it … Read More
Orange and Chocolate Bundt Cake
Guys, June was such a roller coaster of a month for me, On one hand I was trying to finish projects and embrace the end of financial year plus school holidays like a whizz (talk about balancing motherhood with work), on the other hand I had exciting news to share. I have been nominated for an AusMumpreneur award that celebrates Australian Mums in business. While I'm being evaluated in the Judges's category, I need YOUR votes for the People's Choice awards. When I started my blog in 2013, only a few months after I came to Australia little did I know that one day this would become my greatest happiness and my source of earning a living. With two sleeping toddlers and 9 pieces of luggage we came to this beautiful country to start a life from scratch. From a life of comfort to a new life filled with uncertainty and adventure. Prior to that I was heading an unit in a multinational bank where I had worked for 7 years. Needless to say, the initial years were tough, trying to adjust to a new lifestyle while balancing parenting with no help. Sugar et al. became my personal fight for survival, my medium of creative expression, my hope of financial independence. When my twins slept, I … Read More
Pistachio Cake with Rosewater Buttercream
Who else is not a big fan of winter? This year it has been especially cold in Sydney and the rains haven't made it any easier. I can't wait for Spring and it's abundant produce. Meanwhile, there are apples, oranges, pears, pomegranates and persimmons that I've already baked with (you may have seen them on Instagram) and now I'm turning back to my favourite cosy flavours. Pistachio and Rosewater. I have a few different cakes with the same combo already on the blog but seriously it's always so good and there is always another new version waiting to be created. This cake is an absolute celebration of pistachios. There is a lot of it in the cake, hence the natural green hue. Also it can be easily made into a gluten free version by substituting plain flour for gluten free flour. The buttercream is not essential but adds a nice, creamy and floral touch to the dense cake. My husband avoids the frosting so he scrapes it off but said that he still loved the cake just the way it was. Pistachio Cake with Rosewater ButtercreamMakes a 7 inch round cake 220 g unsalted butter3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp castor sugar4 eggs, lightly beaten120 g almond meal (ground almonds)120 g … Read More
