Spongy Fruit-Filled Cake

I made a simple fruit cake filled with grapes and topped with chocolate sprinkles. Love the spongy texture of the cake.

Spongy Fruit Filled Cake
Ingredients: (I use loaf pan)
2 eggs
60g sugar
60g cake flour
20g vegetable oil

heavy whipping cream
sugar
grapes (cut into half)
chocolate sprinkles

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Use a hand mixer to beat the eggs and sugar at high speed till ribbon stage.
3. Use a whisk to mix the cake flour and the oil till fully combine. Do it gently.
4. Pour into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes till toothpick inserted comes out clean.
5. Inverted the pan to cool completely.

Assemble:
Cut the loaf cake into half horizontally. Beat heavy whipping cream with sugar till firm peak forms. Apply the cream on the cake, and put the cut grapes on top, and apply cream on top again.

Then, put another layer of the cake on top, and apply the remaining cream. Put into fridge to set.

Even out the top of the cream on the cake. Cut the four sides of the cake into even and clean sides. (You can eat the scraps, don't waste them, they are yummy!) Decorate in any styles you want, I put chocolate sprinkles because I do not have much ingredients. Yummy!

Happy baking =)

Bento #6: Doggie Bento

A doggie bento that I have made that includes rice, nori, tamago, broccoli, and sauteed shrimp with onions. Very easy bento-making. It still needs tonnes of improvement, but my bf loves it, so I'm happy! =D

 I use up some cute picks for the decorations. This bento consists of two doggies. One with plain rice, and another one with dark soy sauce.

Bento #5: Bear & Love Cake Bento

Very funny looking bears and love shaped bento. I used chocolate cake as the base. I have no chocolate breads, but a spongy chocolate cake will serve as the same. I use a bento cutter mold to make it into four shapes. The yellow part is made out of cheese, and for the eyes and nose parts, I used chocolate sprinkles. Very "failed-looking" bears. >.< . Just wanted to make breakfast looks more interesting.

Bento #4: Triangular Tuna Mayo Rice Bento

I found this photo in my phone, a very old bento photo. So I guess I'll just post it here. This is a seaweed sprinkles filled with tuna mayo rice bento in triangle shaped. Do not make it overnight unless wrap tightly with cling wrap paper individually and put into the fridge. It is because if you make it the day before and put into fridge without any cling wrapper, the rice turned very dry, it has lost it's water due to the temperature in the fridge. It is best to make it that day, and finish it that day. So enjoy a lovely, simple bento with tonnes of flavor!

Basic Chocolate Sponge Cake

A simple basic chocolate sponge cake is one of my favorites! I love the simplicity, the spongy texture and the fragrant chocolate smell! Nothing can beat that! It can also be used as a base for any birthday cake or cake decorations.

Ingredients:
4 eggs
80g sugar
60g vegetable oil
60g milk
20g cocoa powder
70g cake flour
1 tsp baking powder

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and line an 8-inch round pan.
2. Beat eggs and sugar at max speed till pale and fluffy. Beat in oil. Alternately fold in the dry mixture and the milk using a spatula or a balloon whisk.
3. Bake in oven for 40-45 minutes or toothpick inserted comes out clean. Invert cake pan on wire rack to let it cool completely.

It is indeed a very light, spongy and fluffy cake! I absolutely like it!

Make it and you will not regret anything of it!

Happy Baking! =D

Spongy banana loaf cake

With two very-riped bananas left, the end results is always a spongy banana cake! The fragrant makes you awake and happy! Haha.. =D

I am using back the recipe that I have used before. You can check the recipe by clicking the link below.
spongy banana cake

I make it into a loaf this time, so preheat oven to 350 F and grease pan, line with parchment paper. Bake for 45-50 minutes till toothpick inserted comes out clean.

The cake this time has more darker color tone at the bottom layer, and the top layer is more light in color. I suspect that this happened due to the uneven mix of oil. However, it still tasted good, according to my bf, so that's okay then.. =P

Enjoy your cake with a cup of coffee or milo or milk!

Easy Chocolate Pudding

Easy Chocolate Pudding! I was thinking about eating pudding since my friend showed me a pudding she made, but I'm lazy to make complicated pudding. So, with the leftover stuff in my pantry, I made myself an easy chocolate pudding made with only 3 ingredients!

Easy Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients:
100g soymilk
20 mini marshmallows (or more, if you want it to be more firm)
25g chocolate chips

Steps:
Put all ingredients into a microwaveable mug and microwave it for 1 minute on high. Then stir it and microwave for another 1 minute. Stir it again. Microwave it for another 30 seconds if not all ingredients are melted. Then cover with cling wrap and fridge it for 1-2 hours or overnight.

The texture is soft and smooth, and not very firm, but i like it! I think I'm gonna change the recipe next time by using unsweetened soymilk or unsweetened chocolate because to me, it is kinda sweet. So, here it goes! easy pudding! You can make it into any other flavors such as strawberries, or just plain pudding with vanilla flavor. YUMMY!

Happy Baking! =)
