Almond Cranberry Butter Loaf Cake 杏仁蔓越莓牛油蛋糕

Do you enjoy eating traditional butter cakes from old school neighbourhood bakeries? Those butter cakes that are full of buttery aroma, slightly oily but you know you’ll enjoy the rich, moist and fine crumbs?

YUM!

Most of the time, I avoid baking cakes that contain a higher amount of butter (trying to be healthier :p). Since I didn’t have much time on hand, I opted for a quick recipe that didn’t require a lot of ingredients. The fine texture of this almond cranberry butter loaf cake surprised me!

This recipe uses a simple basic creaming method. Find out how to make this in my post!

Baileys Cream Dessert 百利卡仕达奶油甜点

This is a simple Baileys cream dessert made the tiramisu way – sponge fingers soaked in coffee-Baileys mixture, layered with Baileys creme diplomat, and finished with dusting of cocoa powder on top.

This came about when I had wanted to try making some Tiramisu, but I was not able to find any mascarpone cheese! Was glad that the texture turned out great. And don’t skip the Baileys here!

Homemade Japanese Curry

Rich, savory Japanese curry sauce, served with hot rice, ready-made tempura fish bites and fresh salad. Do you enjoy having Japanese curry whenever you visit a Japanese restaurant or eatery? I do! Whenever I have no idea what to eat, or if I prefer a quick meal, I’ll always check if the restaurant has Japanese curry! It’s sort of like comfort food to me. So it’s no surprise that I love making Japanese curry at home too!

Passion Fruit Cranberry Loaf Bread 百香果蔓越莓吐司

Soft and fluffy passion fruit cranberry loaf bread, with sourish-sweet dried cranberries for a refreshing, fruity taste. I’m using the bread dough base from my favourite Killer Toast recipe for a easy loaf of bread with just one proofing.

I always like this recipe because I don’t need to proof twice, so I can just make the dough first, and leave it to proof till about 85-90% full before baking. In between I can always do my chores, cooking or just laze around at home.
