A rather challenging but fun bake. Please have all ingredients and equipment ready before starting, because you will also need to act quickly through all the steps, and multi-task. Also, a must to follow the tray dimension. I used a smaller tray and ended with a thicker and shorter sponge, which cracked inside. Baked on…

Black Sesame Chiffon Cake
This recipe is slightly adapted from nasilemaklover. It’s moist, soft and rose very high in the oven. I used the singlong brand black sesame powder. Recipe 4 egg yolks 35g caster sugar 60g oil 70g coconut milk 25g black sesame powder 1/4 tsp salt 75g top flour or cake flour 1/4 tsp baking powder 4…
Gula Melaka Chiffon
One of my family’s favourites. Have baked it so many times, I have memorised the recipe by heart. Just remember to get the right Gula Melaka or else don’t make it. A good Gula Melaka must be dark, and relatively soft enough to scrape and slice. If you see a light one and it turns…
Controlled Cracking for Chiffon
Tried something new the other day which I saw from a Taiwanese FB. The aim is to achieve a clean, patterned, crack top and the look would be so pleasant that there will be no need to overturn the cake when serving. The steps are simple and can be used on any chiffon, but a…
Butter Sponge Cake
I like to bake this every now and then. It has all the lightness and fluffiness of a sponge, and yet so rich tasting just like a pound cake. For a 3 egg recipe, it packs in almost half a block of butter, so don’t be deceived by it’s ‘lightness’. Recipe (adapted from Enne Ty,…
Chunky Peanut Butter Chiffon
When I read about this recipe in a book at the library, I quickly rounded up the kids and made our way home (grabbed a packet of cake flour otw). We are peanut butter fans and always have some at home. The author who is Japanese is big on making moist chiffons, as opposed to…
Cake Decoration with SMBC
Unbelievable, but true. I made this cake over a 4 hour class with 6 other ladies at Bakers Brew Studio. My first time with many things – colouring the cream, frosting the cake, making the flowers (and all that piping)…… so novice was I. I was slowest in finishing many of the task, but the…
Baked Cheese Cake
I was trying to use up my bag of frozen shredded cheese, which I normally keep for making pizzas and cheese baked rice. So I used a light cheese cake recipe that used Kraft slice cheese. It turned out soft and fragrant, with a subdue light mozzarella taste. When eating, I topped with icing sugar…
Pandan Chiffon Cake
Another great recipe from Kitchen Tigress, so grateful for her sharing. Some recipes leave you wondering what went wrong, but hers always comes with great explanation, so you can appreciate why you shouldn’t change things. In order to make this pcc, another must read is Dr Leslie Tay’s (ieatishoot) blog post, so much info to…
Pandan Chiffon/ Sponge Cake (cooked dough/ 烫面）
This lovely soft Pandan sponge cake is baked using a cooked dough method. The result is a soft cottony cake that would dupe you into eating piece after piece thinking it is just a light dessert. Look at the fine crumb. I saw the recipe from Jeannie Tay’s blog. The method is however, not…
