Freshly baked cinnamon rolls with a cup of coffee is one of the small pleasures in life that I really enjoyed. For me it’s just like a piece of heaven on earth…the smell of warm cinnamon and butter is divine, it’s one of my favorite things in the world. But as much as I love [...]
Happy 2011 everyone! I had a great time with my family during the Holiday vacation. I took the time off of blogging to spend more time with my family, catch up on my reading.. I finished 3 books..yay! I watched a lot of dvd movies with my family..we ate, ate, and ate a lot! It wasn’t easy going back to my regular [...]
These cupcakes are super-yummy, it has a rich chocolate flavor and they’re soft . Tips: If you can’t find buttermilk, substitute evaporated milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice to make a cup of buttermilk; let it sit for about 15 minutes before using. If you have cake flour, try using it for softer cupcakes or replace [...]
If you love chocolate chip cookies, you’ll love the addition of creamcheese and a touch of coffee to this classic favorite. These cookies are best eaten freshly baked with a glass of cold milk but I leave that to the kids, I like these with steaming cup of green tea or coffee…yum! Though you may store the leftover/ [...]
It’s that time of the year again when apples are abundant; I love to use apples for baking, apple pie’s our favorite but I do that mostly on weekends because it’s not really easy to make (but worth the time spent in the kitchen) this apple cake is so much simpler to make than the pie. You may [...]
Here’s the other cake I was talking about from my last post… If you want to pull a quickie in the kitchen this cake is perfect. I made this at the same time with the Lemon syrup Cake..there’s still enough room to fit an 8×8 square and I whip up this cake in no time [...]
My family and I, we ♥ CAKES! I like to share two easy delicious cakes you can make at the same time and these cakes stays good for 4 -7 days. ( I’m posting the other one later, it’s similar to this cake and quicker to prepare!) This lemon syrup cake is one of our [...]
Here’s another easy baking recipe I would like to share..found it here, one of my favorite sites to visit for good baking recipes although I don’t use their flour, simply because it’s not available here :). If you think it’s hard to make good puff pastry, well think again and try this one..I’ve been making [...]
This cheesecake is very simple, perfect for everyday dessert. Most cheesecake recipes call for 2 -5 (8oz) boxes of creamcheese, that’s just too much (expensive too ) and reason enough for me to only make cheesecakes on special ocassions but I can’t always wait for a birthday or anniversary to come so I thought why not make a practical [...]
This cake is on the cover of the baking book, Ultimate Cake by Barbara Maher that my husband gave me years ago, but this is only the first time I have tried making it because I kept on hoping that I will eventually get my hands on fresh strawberries and raspberries which this cake has [...]
