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 … 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 … 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 … Read More
Goats Cheese Cheesecake
The egg-stra long Easter weekend has started for us already and that means lots of fun, food and entertainment for the family. Food is of course, the highlight at my place. Coming up with new dessert ideas is my favourite bit and if they are make-ahead as well as easy, they tick all the boxes for me. The days are still quite sunny and evenings, a bit cooler so a slice of chilled cheesecake with seasonal figs and strawberries is a great Autumnal treat for guests. Not just any cheesecake, but a Goats Cheese flavored baked cheesecake that is the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess exploding with delicious flavours in the mouth. When it comes to Goats chesese, people are divided in their preference for this variety of cheese. How about you? I enjoy it in most savoury dishes but absolutely LOVE it's presence in sweet recipes. It adds that little touch of salty/sour-ish flavour that cuts down the richness of a heavy sweet dish and makes it even more desirable. If you ask me, it all comes down to the quality of Goats cheese used. After trying out a few different brands and types, I really like the Yarra Valley Fresh Goats Cheese. It's soft, creamy and tastes great. … Read More
Chocolate Stout Cake
Traditionally, Easter is owned by the kids, we all know that. But who will think about us adults on that much awaited long weekend? We can't be eating chocolate eggs and Hot Cross buns all through the holidays especially when we have kids at home and those things are always claimed by them. We deserve something more grown up, more decadent and a bit celebratory. Enter Chocolate Stout Cake! Chocolate and Beer in the same sentence so it definitely screams decadence. And let me warn you, this cake is not for the faint-hearted. This is drop dead delicious (if you know what that means) and so indulgent. That glaze/ganache is the next best thing to Heaven as it's just made by melting chocolate in a pan of beer. I have never been a huge fan of beer, but when I discovered chocolate stout (White Rabbit Chocolate Stout), my face was like the emoji with big, round eyes. What? How could something be so incredible when mixed with chocolate?! It takes chocolate to a complete new level. I've used the stout in the cake batter as well as the glaze and yes, you do taste it. It adds a deep, rich flavour to the cake whilst giving it a soft, spongy finish (probably due to aeration in the … Read More
Chocolate Hazelnut Friands with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
I am really excited today for a multitude of reasons. First, because this post involves chocolate and I am posting a friand recipe after a long time. They are a super favourite treat of mine. And secondly because I have guest posted for the first time. I have blogged for 5 years now (where has time flown by) and it's nice to do something different.

Hot Cross Buns Frozen Cheesecake
Easter is upon us, though I think I'm slightly early this year. But believe me, I have already eaten my entire weight in hot cross buns. Who can resist them? Slather them with butter or cream cheese, turn them into sandwiches, grill them or eat them plain. I've tried so many things with them and I've still not had enough. My favourite bakery, Bakers Delight has the most amazing, melt-in-your mouth buns busting with flavour and every time I'm on a grocery trip, I try to look away as they're so irresistible! Last week I was having a Choc Chip hot cross bun with ice cream when the thought of making an ice cream cake came to me. I love ice cream cakes but they become runny even as you slice them so a better version was a frozen cheesecake. Simple and so delicious! It's officially Autumn in Australia but the weather is warm and sunny. But who needs a reason to eat ice cream, right? If you've ever tried a Hot Cross Bun ice cream sandwich, this is just a large version of it. The base and the top are the buns. Sandwiched between them is a filling of cream cheese, chocolate ice cream, berries and pieces of hot cross buns. Since the buns already have tonnes of flavour in them, … Read More
