Chocolate Brownie

Rich. Chocolate. Brownies. I bet you’re smiling already. I haven’t met a person who didn’t get happy at the very thought of brownies. You don’t need me to tell you that they’re made with dark chocolate, heaps of cocoa, and are supremely addictive. Just the fact that they’re brownies gives them a ticket to your […]

Taking Snickers to the Next Level

Buttery shortbread. Caramelised cashews. Dulce de leche. 70% dark chocolate. Each, delicious on its own. But can you imagine what it’d be like when they all came together, layered one on top of another on top of another on top of another? You cannot. Even if you know the distinct taste of each of them, […]

Tahitian Vanilla Cake

Everyone has a go-to pound cake recipe, right? Heck, I have two pound cake recipes around here already. So why would anyone possibly want to use this recipe? Well, no reason really except for the fact that these loaves baking in your oven will make the house smell spectacular. And in this case, it’s the […]

I made it!

A drumroll moment… Successful macarons with the prettiest feet and smoothest tops! Yep, I finally did it. Macarons have got quite the reputation of being tempramental cookies (macarons from this very batch cracked on the tops!), and if you’ve been here long enough you probably know that previous attempts have been far from desired. After a […]

Raspberry Yoghurt Teacake

I miss blogging. I miss blogging a lot. It’s not that I’m not baking. It’s just that I’m not baking anything new. I’ve been on my feet for hours at a stretch; I can hardly feel them anymore. I’m not complaining – rather, I’m enjoying every bit of it. Nothing beats working for myself, nothing […]

3 years and Double Chocolate Truffle Brownies

Three years today. Three years of sugar, flour and oodles of butter. Three years ago, I sat in front of a blank page typing my first words. There might be someone who’d probably want to listen to what I have to say, right? For the first few weeks the only comments I got were from […]

Buttery Cinnamon Cake

When the Pioneer Woman says it’s the best coffee cake ever, you’ve got to listen. Having bookmarked this recipe ever since she wrote about this super delicious coffee cake, I finally set out to make it today. With lots of butter, sugar, pecans and cinnamon, what’s not to like? (For that matter, anything with cinnamon […]

Blueberry Almond Cake

Last week I got a message from my friend D. that read “They have blueberries at the supermarket!!!” I sprung out of my seat and bolted. For some, it might seem like a literary exaggeration, but that’s exactly what I did. All the tasks on my Google calendar can wait because I really didn’t want […]
