Lemon Friands
I have quite a few friand recipes on this blog and they are all my favourites. That is because in Australia we can never grow tired of these delicious nutty treats. If I ever need to produce a baked treat at a short notice, I always go for a friand. If you the word 'friand' is new to you, you might … Read More
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

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 before baking as well as in the buttercream, they also are eggless. So more people can enjoy them! These Oreo cupcakes are easy to put together and are ready in no time. The buttercream is honestly so good that you have to hold yourself back from licking it off the bowl. Eggless Oreo Chocolate Cupcakes Makes 10-12 cupcakes For the chocolate cupcakes1 cup self raising flour1/2 cup plain flour1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda1 cup castor sugar4 tbsp powdered cocoa75 g unsalted butter, melted1 cup milk1/2 tsp vanilla extract 10-12 Oreo cookies.

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 that are baked with a custard or cheesecake filling. Seldom have I made a tart like this one that involves part baking to create a buttery crust while the filling is just a pour and set kind of activity. You could absolutely use a no-bake crust for this one like here and here too. The other fun thing about this tart is that it uses chocolate ganache, both as a filling as well as a frosting to decorate the tart. Again, you could leave out the frosting entirely and enjoy the roasted almonds encased in an ultra choclatey base. I think I was feeling too creative while making this tart , hence all the additions. Overall, I think I don't need to say much to describe a dessert that has abundant quantities of roasted nuts and dark chocolate. What do you think? Chocolate and Almond TartMakes a 7 inch round tart. For the pastry 1 cup 150 g plain flour1/4 cup, icing sugar … 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.

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
