This cake mainly adapted from Jeannie Tay and Kitchen Tigress, yields a very soft fragrant custard. I like it a lot. My adaptation is to use some of the coconut milk to extract the Pandan. But you can also use pandan paste to simplify things. The inner cake can also be varied. I last paired…

Yoghurt Wholemeal Bread (overnight starter)
This bread is done using an overnight starter, which usually gives a soft spongy bite. The addition of yoghurt gives flavour and soft texture. With this combination, the dough pulled a really thin window pane even with all the wholemeal particles. Dough is wet and sticky, flour surfaces very lightly as you work the dough….

Wholemeal (tangzhong) Loaf

Recipe (900g Pullman tin) 160g tangzhong or water roux (using 30g bread flour and 160g water) 400g bread flour 100g wholemeal…
Nigella’s Chocolate Chip Muffin
Very easy and very delicious. Just follow the recipe and don’t omit anything. Just a word of caution, don’t use heavily waxed muffin cups that will cause lopsided muffins. See the picture below, all baked using the same recipe. Muffins on the left are lopsided and flat top too! Another tip is to use double…
Easy Whole Egg Sponge
If you are like me, who have struggled with water bath and just can’t get a smooth top cake with no shrinkage, then this recipe from Stephie is really a blessing. It uses whole eggs ( no egg separation), no water bath, and yet no cracks and shrinking. I baked at a short 35 min…
Honey Brown Sugar Butter Cake
I seldom get such smooth top cake, and pretty good height for a heavy butter cake. I tweaked the original recipe from Enne Ty by adding honey and other minor adjustments. The original recipe is here. The honey and butter aroma when baking was a heavenly mix. Very yummy. Recipe (6″ round cake tin) 3 egg…
