Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
This cake has been on my must-try list for years. I've heard as well as experienced in many occasions that oil lends a softer, moister crumb. But since I like butter too much, I've just been putting it off. The reason? We whip butter in most cases with sugar to get that tall, light, fluffy texture … Read More
Rosewater Tartlets With Pomegranate And Salted Pistachios
What makes a dessert totally irresistible? Well, if you ask me, it is a lot of things put together in perfect harmony. Taste, colour, flavour, texture and so on. When we think of desserts, we automatically think of sweet sensations in our mouth but did you ever wonder why a lot of recipes often … Read More
Skinny Blueberry Cheesecake
Is it too late to wish you a very Happy New Year? I hope not because I'm still very much in holiday mode and I feel the year has just taken off. I've only just started making resolutions and setting goals for the year. Do you make resolutions? Speaking of resolutions, the one thing I think most of … Read More
White Chocolate Panna Cotta with Cranberry Jelly
I thought I wouldn't be able to get a post out of me before the start of the next year, but it's Christmas and if this is not the time to indulge then there never will be one. In Australia, Christmas is synonymous with summer. So instead of spices, pies and puddings, it's more about light, cold, … Read More
Coffee Lovers Cake
Coffee is definitely the solution to all my morning woes. Cake is probably the solution to ALL my woes. At least many of them! So I figured out that the best way to deal with life and its woes is to make a coffee cake. Not just any cake but a very rich, intensely coffee-ish cake. This Mocha Mud cake has been topped with Coffee Buttercream and drizzled with Mocha sauce. If you are crazy for coffee, this is your cake. It's Halloween tomorrow and I am just not guilty for making a creepy looking something. But everyone seems to be enjoying it and coming up with both scary and cute creations. I cannot make a single spooky treat to save my life and since I was feeling quite left out, I thought this cake was somewhat more apt to share at this time than my floral creations. Tall, dark, handsome:-) Now tell me is it freaking you out? No? Great! That was not my intention anyway. But the taste will. It is so freaking good! Mocha Mud cake Makes a 6 inch round cake 250g butter, chopped 200 g good-quality dark chocolate, coarsely chopped 11/4 cup freshly brewed strong coffee (or 1 tbsp instant coffee powder dissolved 11/4 cup warm water) 11/4 cup castor sugar … Read More
Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake
I think everyone should have a mug cake recipe that they pull out during those intense craving moments when they just want a small portioned dessert without the wait. Of course, in their favourite mug. That makes it even more personal and comforting, right? My mug so only I can eat. I actually had several mug cake recipes printed and filed neatly in a folder many years ago when I could barely call myself a baker. It was such a life changing discovery at the time. Making cakes without an oven, that too in 5 minutes. Everyone thought I was a genius and no one even cared that most of these 'cakes' were nothing in taste or texture like a cake. I was doing a spring clean the other day and found those folders. The next thing I knew was that I was looking for mugs to give them a go again. Alas! They were not the kind of stuff I would enjoy today. I had to make a few adjustments, try and make something in the same mug that I would microwave and chose to make an eggless version. That is because, it is safer to undercook them than an overcooked mug cake that feels like rubber. And the last thing one would want to do is use another bowl to mix the batter. It's all about the … Read More
Mango And Coconut Cake
It is mango season in Australia so it's safe to say that it's the best time of the year to shop for fresh produce. Bright yellow juicy mangoes that make the aisles at the markets bright and fragrant with their heady sweet aroma. It's an indication that Summer and the gorgeous sunny days are not far away. It makes me want to celebrate! If you follow me on Instagram, you would already know how crazy I am about this fruit. I grew up eating mangoes from my Dad's orchard and I have really fond memories of the seasons in India when every dish would be turned into a mango something, sweet or savoury. Chutneys, lassi, pickle, curries and desserts. There were times when the abundance would become a problem for my Mum, who wouldn't know what to do with them. After gifting them to every acquaintance she could remember, they would be stored in every corner of the house. Even under the bed. Oh the aroma! They certainly made my dreams a bit more sweeter. So when the first mangoes appear at Harris Farm Markets, my favourite place to shop for fresh fruits and veggies, it makes me want to jump with joy. I didn't have a mango cake on my blog so this year I thought I must create one. This cake … Read More
Skinny Berry Frozen Yoghurt Cheesecake
We are huge fans of cheesecake at home. The only thing that stops me from making them frequently are the calories that come with it. Most cheesecakes are heavy. First cream cheese, then either eggs or gelatine and a rich crust to go with it. So I figured out a relatively healthier way of eating cheesecake whilst keeping it simple and sweet. I used store bought frozen yoghurt that already had a delicious berry flavour to it and mixed it with Light Cream cheese. For the crust, I chose a gluten free option with the goodness of almonds and dates. It's Spring here in Australia and the weather is warming up, so freezing the cheesecake not only firms it up but also makes it the perfect make ahead dessert for all your Spring and Summer parties. Fresh berries and edible flowers complete this absolutely delicious cheesecake. Delightful, vibrant and very summery. Skinny Berry Frozen Cheesecake Makes an 8 inch round cheesecake 1 cup raw almonds 2 dates 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted 600 ml (approx 2/3 tub Frozen Yoghurt) (I used Proud and Punch, the more the berries) 250 g light cream cheese 1 tbsp honey Fresh berries, to serve Edible flowers, to serve … Read More
