The recipe

My First Lemon Chiffon

My first chiffon cake. Looks like I'm hooked to enjoy this chiffon as it consists very little flour and fat! It's nice especially with a cup of hot coffee.

Brownies

My version of brownies

I was inspired by a young girl "Rebekah Mui" featured at "The Staronline" baking her Brownie Cake. I tried her recipe but half the portion only. It tasted great! If you are interested, do check this out.

Best Ever Sponge

3 Egg Sponge

Ingredients:

½ cup castor sugar

¼ cup corn flour

¼ cup plain flour

¼ cup self-raising flour

Methods:

Have eggs at room temperature. Beat whole eggs in a small bowl with electric mixer until thick and creamy. Add sugar about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating each addition until sugar is dissolved .

While eggs and sugar are beating, prepare a deep 20cm ring pan by greasing evenly and dust with some flour; sift dry ingredients together 3 times, to aerate and mix the flours.

When sugar is dissolved, transfer mixture to larger bowl; this makes it easier to fold the dry ingredients through the egg mixture. Sift the flours over the egg mixture, use a spatula to lightly fold the flour through. Heavy handling at this stage will give a flat tough sponge.

Spread mixture evenly into ring pan and bake in moderate oven for 20- 25 minutes. When cook, turn sponge immediately to wire rake to cool.

Orange Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Yesterday, while I was busy at the kitchen, Tim decided to join me prepares some orange chocolate chip cupcakes for tea time. Since, my Kenwood is busy with my other batter, so we decided to use “TIMwood” ( Tim’s hands) as my manual mixer to do this small portion of batter . He was quite a baker, he whisk the eggs and butter then pour in the flour and milk and chocolate chips and some orange rind and juices. And the results…… a picture worth a thousand words. The cupcakes were delicious!

It's tea time !
