I’ve stressed before that I am not into vegan, gluten free, fat free……I love full fat, whole milk. GREASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. But you know what, I might start to change my mind. This cake requires no flour, no oil, no milk. Oops, there are eggs though. And fragrant pecan, spice and lemon. One more thing, you can easily convert this [...]

Victoria Sponge Cake
This cake resembles this strawberry and cream cake I made some time ago. Maybe a simple version. But both cakes will make you happy by only looking at them. Ingredients (one 9-inch cake): 1 cup cake flour, sifted 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 1 cup sugar [...]

Cookie Monster Cake
Last year I made an Elmo cake for Ethan’s second birthday. It seemed pretty logical that this year should be Cookie Monster’s turn. As if the full house of Sesame Street characters and the constantly playing of TV shows are NOT ENOUGH. I don’t know how to explain that except MOTHERS ARE DUMB. This time, [...]

Cherry Walnut Cake
I am in Hong Kong. I can’t even believe I just said that. It’s been so long since I left my hometown and moved to Vancouver. And over these couple days being in this robust city, I was asked if I could ever move back. Well, the answer is: Yes, if I COULD HAVE A [...]
When it came to think about what to make for my husband’s birthday — A BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR MY HUSBAND, not any other cake which I would make for family dinner or stuff, I tried to incorporate some of his favorite food. Except he eats everything. Somehow Neapolitan ice cream came to my mind. He [...]
Attempted to make a zucchini cake a bit special, I used yellow zucchini instead of ZUCCHINI! Also because I had one sitting in the refrigerator not knowing how to remove itself from there. 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 [...]
This cake was made for a party last Sunday. One good thing about making this cake was that I basically re-did everything, except the mango mousse, and layer them all together. For the chocolate cake base, this is the rich flavored dark chocolate cake recipe that I used last time for the dark chocolate cupcakes [...]

Coffee and Cocoa Coffee Cake
I didn’t expect this cake came out smiling. I totally need a slice of this for breakfast. Especially lately when my son is throwing me tons of tantrums every morning! Ingredients (one loaf): 1 cup and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon instant coffee 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 2 all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder [...]
