Chocolate Chips Orea Cake



Sunday is our baking day as usual. This time we decided to try out a muffin recipe which uses that "everyone's favourite" Oreo cookies. We always prefer moist cakes over muffins which usually dry and so we made some fine tunings to the original muffin recipe for a cake recipe.

Banana Chocolate Chips Mini Cupcake


Banana and chocolate are like close buddies. I always wanted to have them both in my cake recipe. So today, I decided to incorporate these two wonderful ingredients into a plain cupcake recipe. Besides mashed banana in the batter, we also filled the center of each cupcakes with a chunky piece of banana and chocolate.

Great for tea-break or even supper (in our case), these mini cupcakes are really best when hot.

Chocolate Coffee Fudge Cake



My wife stumbled upon another fabulous cake recipe which doesn't require creaming of butter. Just like us, its a "must try" recipe for those who loves the mild bitterness of dark chocolate and the strong aroma of black coffee.

We made some adjustments to the original recipe and added one key ingredient to ensure that the cake turns out moist and not too firm or dry which normally would for those recipe with cocoa powder. We did add a tablespoon of butter into the coffee fudge for that glossy look.

Baked by our chef Mr H yesterday.

Chocolate Banana Cake


After two weeks of "food deprivation" I couldn't wait any longer to satisfy my cravings and at the same time what could be a better way to show my appreciation to my beloved wife who especially took good care of me when I was sick.

An irresistible Chocolate Banana cake from Secret Recipe was all I had in mind and I bet she would be so delighted by this one.

So happen to be in town for my boss farewell dinner, I actually excused myself a bit earlier than the others so I could drop by at my favorite cake shop on my way home before they close for the day.

With a cup of French press Brazilian coffee, it was certainly a perfect supper for two of us.

French Style Orange Yogurt Cake



For many, Sunday is a day to relax. As for me and my wife, Sunday is a good day to try out new recipe. We found this healthy and yet interesting recipe from a website just few days ago and decided to give a try. Instead of butter, this recipe uses lots of yogurt and vegetable oil.

Moist Chocolate Cake


This dark chocolate cake contains no eggs or butter which is suitable for vegans. The secret ingredient which helped this cake to raise and moist is lemon juice. Ooops...

Anyway, baked by our chef Mr H.

Crusty Top Banana Muffin


Our breakfast. Only one word to describe..... "yummy". Instead of the usual muffin shape, this muffin was over-filled to achieve the "mushroom like" effect.

Baked to perfection by our chef Mr H.
