Chocolate, Almond and Strawberry Cake
This winter is giving me all the reasons to bake! It is so cold in my part of town plus it's been raining and there is very little scope for any outdoor activity. I love the sunshine especially in the colder months but there is also the prospect of getting better photos on a cloudy day than those days when the sun is shining bright in my backyard where I normally shoot. So I ended up baking 7 cakes in 6 days. Yeah, I'm amazed at myself where I go for days feeling like I have nothing new to add or nothing better to create. And then there are these bursts of energy on certain days when I don't have enough hours to give shape to my crazy imagination. Chocolate, almond and strawberries in a cake speak for itself. All the great, stuff, right? And the bonus is that the batter can be made in one pan. Just mix and pour! The buttercream is actually chocolate flavored, made with cocoa powder and tinted with red food gel colour. I've been meaning to make a red frosting for months and finally got my chance. Chocolate, Almond and Strawberry Cake Makes a 6 inch round cake 150 g unsalted butter, room temperature 1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar 3/4 cup … Read More
Beet Chocolate Cake
One of the things I greatly look forward to in Autumn is the abundant availability of beet. To be honest, Sydney is a city where you could buy pretty much any fruit or vegetable round the year (maybe costly though), but there is something about beets that I associate with winters as a child. I loved beets since I was little. However, my kids don't. Unless its hidden inside a beet cake or turned into a relish, served in a delicious burger. A few years ago, I wouldn't even tell them there were beets in the cake and they would go for it as they would go for any chocolate cake. Now even though they know it, they really don't mind. The great thing about a beet chocolate cake is that you don't taste the beets if you use a good dutch processed cocoa powder. And the cake benefits from the texture and nutrition of the beets. The Beet Chocolate Cake is very simple to put together and uses a bit of dark chocolate as well as cocoa powder to give it that chocolately taste. What I like the most is that you don't have to melt the chocolate separately. I'm always happy with recipes that don't need too many dishes and pans :-) Typically most beet cakes will have a no-brainer chocolate frosting. … Read More
Baked Cardamom Ricotta Cheesecake with Western Union for Mother’s Day
This post is brought to you by Western Union. All opinions expressed in this post as always are entirely my own. Mother’s Day every year is a walk down memory lane. Precious moments from childhood, the countless times Mum put us first in her life, her persistent encouragement through all these years and the lessons that she taught us for life. Some of my fondest memories growing up were when I would watch her in the kitchen cook with deft and skill with a handful of ingredients and turn them into a delicious 5 course meal. She was (still is) a clever cook, always ready with some useful tip or trick up her sleeve. ‘Cooking doesn’t have to be cumbersome.’ she would say whilst entertaining a large number of guests every weekend who were always in awe of her. The most important culinary lesson I’ve learnt from her that I embrace all the time in my kitchen- simple ingredients and lots of colour. Today Mum is far away back in India but I feel closer to her by recreating her ‘sondesh’ with a modern touch to it for my little boys. I’m absolutely delighted to be partnering with Western Union for this very special day. As a result of moving money across 200+ countries, Western … Read More
Lavender, Honey and Almond Cake
I have a deep love for floral flavours! As if, you didn't know. Any special occasion and the first thing that comes to my mind is lavender or rosewater (yes, chocolate too). Since the occasion is Mother's Day and the best part being that my Mum is around at the moment, I really wanted to make this unique, fragrant cake for her. Food is very much a sensory experience as much as it is for nourishing our bodies. When I was little, my Mum would use a lot of lavender perfumed cosmetics at home. And it goes without saying that there was no access to culinary lavender at the time. Perhaps no one even imagined that these gorgeous flowers have more to them than just their fragrance. But aren't we so lucky that someone has done all the hard work for us and now we can easily open up a little box and infuse the most Divine flowers into our food? Unlike what a lot of people think, lavender is really simple to use. You could pretty much replace them in any recipe that calls for vanilla, spices or any other fragrant ingredient. The only thing to remember is that 'less is more'. A few dried flowers are enough to perfume a large cake or a dessert or a big jug of cordial (I'm just crazy … Read More
