Zebra Cake – Pandan and Gula Melaka

My first try at a zebra cake, not so perfect as the colours are too close, but the taste is yummilicious. Pandan and Gula Melaka are a match made in heaven. So here’s a record of the laborious process to get it done. Recipe (7″ cake tin) Gula Melaka mixture 90g Gula Melaka, shaved 20g…

“Microwave” Bread

Here’s a nice recipe to try! Dough is so elastic and pliable, it’s like plasticine, no flouring needed. It uses 2 method to make the dough soft, sponge dough and just plain o folding. Although it’s called sponge dough, the whole process doesn’t take longer than a straight dough method. And because of the…

Honey Dairy Cream Wholemeal Bread (straight dough)

This recipe is adapted from Princess Linda, very humorous blogger, love her recipes. It’s very sticky and wet, plus I added wholemeal flour, so really not easy to handle, flour everything. Because its wholemeal, window pane can’t be too perfect, something like this will do. Resting frequently in between each shaping also helps a lot….

Kindred Milk Bread (croissant rolls)

Chocolate Marble Bread

My crazy chocolate marble bread 😜. When I last did this, I felt discontented, because I couldn’t do one more trifold. This time I finally squeezed in 3 trifold (27 layers), and superbly satisfied, OCD much? Bread is soft and chocolate layer with Green and Blacks chocolate and Varlhona cocoa powder is yummy! Original recipe…

Easy Choc Chip Cookies

This is a super easy recipe, guarantee to be a favourite with the kids. It’s a basic cookie, not chewie like subways, and definitely not melt in the mouth. But it’s really crunchy old school cookie. When first baked, it’s a little soft and will hardened when cooled. If you like this shaggy look, there’s…

Taiwanese Bread

The name is such because the recipe is supposedly from a Taiwanese baking academy. Thanks to Sujun Neo from Bake The Talk FB group, for sharing. I added my own homemade pandan concentrate and it smelled amazing. Again a very wet and sticky dough, but very easy to achieve window pane. So, patience, patience, patience…

Durian Mousse Cake

I usually buy my durian puree from Ah Seng at Ghim Moh, because they are already pre-packed in packets! So very convenient. Recipe (7″) One 7″ sponge cake from here (bake 1.3 times the recipe with 4 eggs in a 7″ tin) 400g of durian puree 100g ml milk 200ml diary whipping cream (Emborg) 50g…

Wholemeal Black Sesame Swirl Bread (sponge dough 中种法）

This recipe uses the basic dough from Soft Wholemeal Multigrain Bread (sponge dough method 中种). The resulting bread will be soft up to days and has a nice spongy bite. It is also really healthy. But the dough is super wet and might not be so suitable for a beginner to try. The multiple steps…

Condensed Milk Loaf

The dough for this bread will be wet, but not so sticky because of the higher butter content. Be patient when handling, and try not to add flour along the way, other than to lightly dust the surface. You will be rewarded with a very soft, fluffy and sweet bread. See how the highly elastic…
