This is the recipe you should be familiar with if you have ever read or tried my pandan crepe recipe (kueh Dadar or kueh ketayap). The green exterior of crepe which is made of batter colored with natural pandan juice extracted from pandan leaves. I'm going to turn this dessert—pandan crepes—into a Swiss roll cake today. Instead of making crepe batter, I'm going to make a coconut milk pandan chiffon cake and wrap it with coconut that has been sautéed with Gula Melaka, or Malaysian palm sugar. There is no artificial flavoring or coloring used to this pandan Swiss roll cake; it is created with pure pandan leaves juice. The pandan Swiss roll has a spongy, moist, and soft texture.   It rolls up neatly and effortlessly. Every bite is so moist. The blending flavour of coconut, Gula Melaka and Pandan is refreshing with rich texture. With my technique of making the egg white meringue in cake batter, with the right oven temperature and timing, the cake can be baked in a pretty towel

Kuih Talam or Talam cake is a classic Nyonya dessert that is still well-liked in Malaysia. Kuih Talam's two distinctive colours are green and white. The bottom layer of green has a denser texture that is formed of pandan juices. The layer of white that lies on top is softer, has a strong coconut milk aroma, and tastes a little salty. These two layers worked together to create a tasty piece of kuih or cake. How about giving this dessert an additional layer? The additional layer is made from cassava with brown sugar. The combination of the brown colour layer followed by the signature colour of kuih talam making this steam cake is so beautiful, and the taste is also delicious, soft, and fragrant from the cassava, pandan flavour and the coconut milk. I am using a bundt pan to make this 3-layer cake. You can steam it with an 8" square or round cake pan. I grease my pan with butter before pouring the batter into it. It will release the cake easily without sticking to the bottom

Have you ever tried a cake with three flavours? I love coffee flavour, my kids love chocolate flavour, and my husband loves banana cake. If you are also in a situation just like me, can’t decide whether to make chocolate, coffee, or banana cake. Why not combine these three flavours to make a marble cake. This cake is incredibly rich and buttery. A marble cake may look complicated, but it is one batter that is divided and then melted chocolate and coffee is added to one portion. And the mashed banana is added to another portion. The marbling effect is created by placing the banana batter and chocolate coffee batters alternately in a bundt pan, and then running a skewer through the two batters to give it a marble effect. If you just want a banana flavour cake, then omit the chocolate and coffee ingredients from the recipe or vice versa. It’s a very flexible recipe. I usually serve this cake plain. Today, I drizzled the cream cheese frosting over the top which took the whole cake to t

Are you craving a real mango treat? This Mango Mousse Cake is a decadent cake made of a moist sponge cake topped with a creamy mango mousse, then finished with a sweet mango mirror graze topping. This mango mousse cake comes with three layers. The layers consist of a base of sponge cake and the mango mousse filling mixed with fresh mango puree and whipped cream. To improve the structure of the cake, I added gelatin to the mousse filling. The third layer of the cake was topped with mango mirror glaze and was surprisingly amazing. This is a “safer cake” especially for those who do not have a good skill to frost the cake. You can decorate the cake anyway you like. I made jelly fruit balls to garnish this mousse cake. I would like to point out the fruit jelly balls, which were inspired from the jelly moon cake recipe. I made the jelly balls in 3 different flavour which are, mango, papaya, and yogurt. You may pick any fruit you prefer or skip this stage if you do not want to make this c

Muffins are a common breakfast food for my kids. For their breakfast, I, therefore, bake muffins once or twice every several weeks. My muffins, though, are an upgrade over the generally sweet ones found in the bakery. I don't usually bake a lot of it to freeze, although some people do. In contrast to cupcakes, muffins are simple to make and bake. I made muffins a day in advance; they often last for two to three days. During the morning rush on school weekdays, having those muffins prepared and ready to pop into the toaster oven two at a time for kids’ breakfast makes a significant difference.   My children love pumpkin cream cheese muffins. One of these won't be enough for them to consume. They are utterly addicted. They taste like a cross between pumpkin coffee cake and pumpkin cheesecake since they are moist and filled with cream cheese. Crunchy brown sugar cinnamon streusel topping is placed on top of them. It is hard to resist. Simple materials that you probably already h

This rich, velvety red velvet Bundt cake with sweet cream cheese filling swirled throughout and cream cheese frosting on top is the ideal recipe to make when you want to say, "I LOVE YOU." The name "red velvet cake" is quite lovely. This cake is always sold on Valentine's Day because it looks like it matches the flame-like red rips. I had this dessert for the first time on the day of my relative's engagement. I uttered "WOW" after the first taste. To me, this cake ought to be offered year-round, not just on Valentine's Day. If it contains a spoonful of love and happiness, it can be prepared at any time. If the elegance of macaroons is the reason for its capture of the heart, then the red velvet cake is the essence of returning to the food, giving you a beautiful taste. Unlike other cakes, the red velvet cake has a very low density and delicate as velvet. The traditional velvet cake is exceptionally buttery. However, I'm not using butt
