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

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
Eggless Pink KitKat Cake
I was going to share this cake two weeks ago, just before Mother's Day but my website was giving me a lot of trouble so I had to wait. Though I did make it with Mother's Day in mind, this cake would honestly be perfect for any kind of occasion. Birthdays, baby shower, valentine's day, you name it! The best part is that I used my moist, fluffy eggless vanilla cake recipe so it's even suited for people who do not like or avoid eggs for any reason. This is also probably the easiest way to decorate a cake and make it look impressive without piping work or fancy garnishes. If you can't find KitKat Ruby where you are, feel free to use any variety of Kikat chocolates. I hope you enjoy making this cake. Don't forget to tag me if you do. I love seeing your creations.
