Pumpkin meat floss Ogura cake is my 2nd post, and today is the last day of the event!   Gosh!  I have more recipes on pumpkin to share!  Stay tuned for future post if I have the energy!  LOL

Simple Apple Crumble 苹果金宝

This Apple Crumble was prepared in the August but only managed to post it now.  Just right time for the event of Little thumb ups.  Forgive for the to bad photography.   

There is so much to learn and need lot of improvement on food blogging be it the recipes, editing and photography are have to be 1st class, for me it is quite taxing will limited knowledge of modern technology.

I am not pretty, but I am sure is delicious!

Mexican Churros

It was a lovely Sunday morning, Buddy Camie and I head to the home our adorable Ms Fuzi ( founder FUZI Magic - Building Bridges of Goodwill )  to prepare on  our very own snack  Churros base on Fuzi memory of her late grand mother's recipe.  Armed with this recipe  we will conduct cooking demo on this churros to the children at orphanage.

Please 'like' the FB page of  Fuzi Magic Building Bridges of Goodwill.  To know more about Fuzi Magic aiming to link  the privileged to the under-privileged in our CSR activities : STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. 

It will be perfect to dip with chocolate sauce! 

The churros should be longer and thinner, rooms for future improvement!

Cottony Cinnamon Cheesecake

Lately, most of my bakes,  cinnamon powder is one if the ingredients I used.    Guess I really love the aroma of cinnamon added in  my bakes.  Join me for a cinnamon baking spree as more with cinnamon to come.  Stay tuned! 

My previous posts with cinnamon are namely Simple Apple Cake and  Simple Carrot Cake.  These cakes are simple, quick and easy to bake.  Do give it a try.  

Recipe of this Light cinnamon Cheesecake is adapted from  Dessert's Temptation by wendy's delights.  I double the amount of the ingredients to make 2 7inch square cake for my family and my brother's family.   If I were to bake the amount of cinnamon powder have to be reduce, as we find the aroma of cinnamon is too strong. 

Simple Apple Butter Cake

This is the Apple Butter Cake that I demonstrated during the Charity Cooking Demonstration for the Spastic Center last Saturday!  

Here I would like to draw  attention to those who are from Klang Valley,  there is a Charity Cooking Demonstration on the  last Saturdays of each month (except Puasa Month) for Spastic Center, Petaling Jaya.  With a small sum  RM15/- (this  amount should be increase since price of everything has gone up), you will not only have a  cooking demo but with lucky draws and light refreshments.  But above all, this is  small & noble way to help children in need.  The Spastic Center needs your kind assistance be a cooking demonstrator or a participant to bring smiles to the less fortunate.  Do let me know if you wish to help.   A Big Thank you  all!

During the demo session I sold an Yogurt Cake and an Apple cake and the proceeds to benefit the children of Spastic Center.  

TQ this kind lady for helping me out during the demo at Spastic Centre,PJ

Chef Azrah is busy getting ready for her demonstration.  The gentle lady beside me is Datin Faridah who is the president of  Charity  Cooking Demo group!

Simple Carrot Cake

It is after my 2nd attempt on this Carrot Cake, this post finally  able to post it to my blog.  My 1st attempt, the taste of the cake is delicious  but the texture is bit moist.  

My 2nd attempt without frosting.

My 1st attempt with the cream cheese fronting with lemon zest and juice added.

Special thanks to Ms Julie Tan of Ti-Ratana Jalan Penchala, Petaling Jaya for demonstrating this lovely Carrot Cake during the Charity Cooking Demonstration  in April 2014.

Fabulous Steamed Peppermint Orange Layered Cake 蒸橙汁千层蛋糕

My second Steamed layer cake. But the end product is not as satisfied as the previous Steamed Layer Cake with Pandan flavors.  Clink here to check it out!  The contrast of the layers are not clear as it should be, my attention was diverted by  my daughter in Melbourse over WhatApps on the making of her Unbaked Oreo Cheesecake.  I blamed it on her for my poor performance.   Hahahaa.....  feeling better now.
But  nevertheless I still need some kind words from you to console me as I spend 3 hours to prepare the cake.   Hehe....

The verdict ~   I was overwhelmed with the  response ( I brought some with me ) from my friends at Spastic Centre, Petaling Jaya during the  Charity Cooking demo today.  They like the cake very much as the cooling sensation  of peppermint  linger on........      Hurray to me! 

Savory Potato Chip Cookies 薯片曲奇

Dear all, how about baking savory cookies for this Chinese New Year?  I bet you will love this cookies, and will definitely will not stop at one! 

 
This is a really yummy savory cookies. My family and friends just love it so much.
1 portion of the recipe can make about 1 tin of plastic container measuring 14.5cm height and 11.5cm diameter with extra few pieces.When I shopped for the ingredients in the bakery shop, and noticed that the smallest packet of cheese powder is 500gms whereas the the amount needed for the cookies is only 20gm.  I don't have to make so many containers.  I   had some left over shredded cheese in the fridge which I can make use of that. Emmm....... The moral of the story is we don't have to follow the recipe 100%, we can do our own adjustment to suit us ; we can always substitute with other ingredients which are available in our own kitchen. I always reduce quite a lot on the amount of sugar in all recipes, this is why I prefer home-made rather to buy outside which are too sweet for my family.

This is one of the 3Rs - we should practice everyday - REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE! 

 

Sour cream potatoes chips, walnuts, butter and shredded cheese.  This butter weigh 227 gms only

 

Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips and chopped walnuts

Soft Mango Yogurt Ogura Cake #14

Soft and Light Mango Yogurt Ogura Cake for my collection of Ogura Cakes series................  my no 14 Ogura cakes.
Please refer here for my other Ogura Cakes posts!

 It tastes heavenly!

  The cake turned out perfect even though I did not over turn the cake after taking out from the oven. 

I did not trimmed the edges of the cake as its quite satisfactory.  Only thing I was wondering what is the course of the wrinkles on top of the cake compare to my previous Ogura Cakes.   Anyone knows??

Healthy Beancurd (Tofu) Cake with Black Sesame 芝麻豆腐蛋糕

This beancurd (Tofu) Cake recipe has been left in my folder for quite a while.  It has been weeks of postponing until blogger Zoe's monthly cooking event theme appears. The theme for the month of October 2013 was anything about soya beans.  Befitting the theme, finally I have the chance to try this interesting and healthy recipe cake.  This recipe is sure a hit among the health conscious freak.    

 I am not as pretty as Snow White but I am very very tasty!  ^_^

I am happy that there is no crack on the cake.   Yippie!!

Passion Fruit Ogura Cake #12 百香果相思蛋糕

It has been almost 2  months that I last posted my Ogura Cake Series.  No, its not that I stopped baking Ogura Cakes, in fact I have baked a few with different  favors but all the photos  have been kept in the file collecting spider webs.  Lazy worms all stuck over my body, having tough time to get rid of them.   hehe....

But this Passion Fruit Ogura Cake is one of my most successful products so far in term of  the texture.  The only complaint I have is my itchy hands sprinkle the passion fruit on the top  layer of the batter before going into the oven  that resulted  with so many ugly 'tahi lalat " (mole) on the surface of the cake.  That made the cake looked cracked but it was not.    Otherwise I will have a perfect smooth looking Ogura Cake.  Sign....

Simple Orange Butter Cake 香橙奶油蛋糕

A  very basic and simple Orange Butter cake specially baked for hubby. He does not fancy cheese cake unlike my 3 children. As for me, I prefer healthier cakes with less butter, less sugar and less cream.  A family of 5 with different likings, the task of cooking and baking in the house is no easy task!   Many of you  agree with me 100%.  Right?    

Another butter cake with green tea is shared in my earlier post.
