Mini Black Sesame Cake
A mini black sesame cake or cakes have everything in them that makes you want to go back for seconds. They are nutty, warm, the swirls are striking to look at when you cut a cross section and they're mini, indivudial sized portions. What is not to love, right? Though it doesn't look like it, the mini black sesame cake is actually really simple to make. The swirl is made from the same batter so it's only a matter of mixing black seasme powder into a part of a vanilla batter. Black sesame powder can be found in supermarkets and asian stores or you could make your own by gringing black seasme seeds in a grinder or mortal and pestle. To make these, I've used my favourite molds that provide a beautiful shape to the cakes. You can find them at my store under Mousse and Cake Molds. You also use any round or hemisphere mold.

Caramel Cake with Caramel Condensed Milk Buttercream
I don't know which one I love more. The caramel cake or the condensed milk buttercream. Maybe I like the second one a tad bit more. If you've never tried condensed milk buttercream before, this is one frosting that is smooth, silky, not too sweet and very easy to make. There is no requirement for sugar, so a mess free frosting. The cake is dense, moist and rich as a mud cake should be. The flavour is absoloutely beautiful, tasting richly of caramel. The condensed milk buttercream reminds me of swiss meringue buttercream minus the hassle. If you can't find golden syrup which is quite an important ingredient in this cake, you could substitute with honey, however the cake will not taste the same. Golden syrup adds to the caramel flavour but the texture will be the same. If you like caramel flavoured desserts, don't forget to check out this Ginger cake with Salted Caramel poached pears.

Easy White Chocolate Cake
I think everyone should have a recipe for an Easy White Chocolate cake in their arsenal. When looking for a good white chocolate cake, I often come across mud cakes that are delicious but too rich and dense. For a long time I've been experimenting to come up with a cake where the white chocolate shines through but the cake is also light and not cloyingly sweet. I guess, I found the one! The best part about this Easy White Chocolate Cake is that it comes together in one bowl. No melting the chocolate in a separate saucepan and no elaborate techniques. Just simple mix and bake. To complement the beautiful taste of white chocolate, I've used a vanilla cream cheese frosting that is equally simple to make. If you are familiar with cream cheese frosting, you know how creamy and lovely it is. If you haven't tried it yet, please go for it. It will become your go to frosting in the future. The little chocolate decorations are there to enhance the colour and add another layer of white chocolate for the white chocolate lovers. You can get the silicone mold here.

Strawberry and Cardamom Cake with Rosewater Glaze
A cake like this is always remembered. Fragrant, pretty on account of a beautiful bundt shape and refreshing with a combination of juicy strawberries and subtle tones of cardamom, this strawberry, cardamom and rosewater bundt cake is something that can be whipped up any time. A sour cream glaze is my go to for most cakes. Because It's not sugary like a typical glaze and can be flavoured without any hassle, it's the best choice for icing a cake. Replace strawberries with any other berry if you like. Cardamom is such a beautiful spice if used in the right proportions. In India where I grew up, people also used it as a mouth freshner. It was too strong for my liking so I really just wanted to reserve the flavour and smell for a delicious aromatic, savoury curry or a creamy, lush dessert.
