Except the name of the cake sounds longer, I didn’t see any difference in terms of taste. But THIS WAS TASTY. Ingredients [...]

Last year, I made this cake for my mother-in-law’s birthday. I couldn’t manage to pipe the frosting all over the cake this year. So, being lazy, I baked this chocolate devil’s food cake. AGAIN. Frost it with the marshmallow frosting, which is nothing new. And the laziest of the lazy……I simply picked a bunch of [...]
To whoever reading this post, I give my sincere apology. Right after this cake was cut, all pieces were gone. And I was too busy feeding my always hungry daughter whose eager eyes were staring at this cake too hard that the frosting was almost melted…… That’s why I didn’t take a picture of the [...]

It took me way too long to finally do this. One, the beauty of the original cake was really intimidating. Two, I’d never liked meringue. But I surrendered over the gorgeous warm weather that brought us tons of vibrantly red raspberries. I didn’t go too far to follow the recipe completely, cause I’m not that genius. But [...]

Ingredients (9-inch cake): 1 cup and 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 [...]

Chocolate Almond Upside Down Cake
On CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) evening news the other day, one of the veteran anchors was reporting about Justin Bieber’s new haircut. And I was all, Why is THIS among other local news, like snow storm, highway car crash, Prime Minister’s latest address on national issues? Why? I bet that anchor was confused too. Not [...]
