Gianduja Roulade
That’s just fancy talk for rich hazelnut chocolate ganache rolled into a hazelnut sheet cake rich with chocolate and more hazelnuts.
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 […]
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 […]
Chocolate Walnut Mud Cake
Over the past few days I’ve been looking for a good chocolate cake recipe. As I looked through my cookbooks and scoured the internet, nothing seemed to appeal to me. I was looking for a recipe that was cakey, and silky delicate, all at the same time. Something fudgy and gooey, but yet slightly airy. […]
Honey Lavender Madeleines
I am extremely frugal when it comes to using my last 10 grams of lavender; I even packed it up and put it away in the freezer to save until the time I was certain that my next batch is on its way. Just recently I found a huge stash of very fragrant lavender when […]
Chocolate Hazelnut Marbled Cake

If you’re following me on Twitter or Facebook, you might have heard me gushing about finally signing ‘the contract’.No, it’s not some corporate contract boohockey or a typical 9-5 job. This contract is my entry […]
Pear and Ginger Cake with Walnuts
A few days ago my dad brought the most juicy pears home. They were small and so full of flavour that after downing as many as I could fresh, I decided to make a pear cake I’d been meaning to try ever since I saw the recipe in a cute little Marks and Spencer baking […]
Chocolate Cherry Cake
Last week, I made the most moist and delicious cake. And the reason I’m so happy about it is because it was an experiment and it turned out to be so lovely. I’m very wary of proportions when it comes to baking, because there have been times when things just didn’t go as planned. But […]
Chocolate Cake
This cake is soft and moist and dark and intensely chocolatey when topped with chocolate ganache. It smelled so good when it was baking that I could hardly wait to turn the cake over; only to end up with a broken cake! I frosted a part of the cake completely; while I simply poured over […]
