Sharing an easy Instant Pot Chocolate Cake recipe. The method is really simple, just adding wet and dry ingredients. I made this cake recipe twice with no major issues. The second batch I made though “domed”, not really a big issue since I knew I was going to trim and level the cakes anyway.

I decorated the cake with buttercream succulents, my first try at these too.

Try out the recipe and let me know how yours turned out.

Mini Cakes and Cupcakes

Mini Cakes and Cupcakes

Sharing some photos of mini cakes and cupcakes I did during the summer (I can’t believe summer’s over). Aren’t mini cakes just adorable? It’s just the right size for one, or two if you feel like sharing. I used the same cupcake recipe and baked into an 8×8 inch pan and used a 3-inch round cutter then I used buttercream to fill and mask the cakes. I do love taking food styling and taking photos…

Chocolate Sylvanas

If the good old fashioned Sylvanas wasn’t good enough for you. Here’s Chocolate Sylvanas. Are there any Filipinos out there who remember Sambos? I looooooove Sambos. PERIOD. It was sold at Café Elyseé waaaaaaaay back. (lol). I tried recreating Sambos based on some very fond memories, making everything with chocolate, including the dacquoise. For the buttercream, if you find that 1 cup of melted…

Meet Sylvanas.

Sylvanas is the cookie size version of the (one of) Filipino favourite cakes, Sans Rival. It is actually one of my personal favourites. This is always a huge hit whenever I bring this to potlucks. When you’ve tried this out, you’d easily understand why. The cake version Sans Rival has layers of cashew dacquoise, filled with buttercream. Ideally, French buttercream is preferred which really makes…

Salted Caramel Apple Streusel Cake and My First Year Blog

Salted Caramel Apple Streusel Cake and My First Year Blog

Salted Caramel Apple Streusel Cake tops my list on my favourite cakes. Dare I say, perhaps even MORE than chocolate cake. I wish I can give you each a slice so you’d know what I’m talking about. This cake was made for a friend and the inspiration came from The Brown Eyed Baker’s Cake Recipe. In adapting the cake recipe ingredients, I added nutmeg and lessened the all-spice. The cake came out…

Pad Thai Inspired

Pad Thai has great flavours, doesn’t it? Im not talking about the fast food overly sweet pad thai right now. While that’s very comforting too, I think you might find the flavours in the recipe more interesting. During summer, I planted basil (they survived)! I pruned some of  it (atm, not yet enough for a good amount of pesto) and I didn’t want it going to waste. So, I decided to make this pad…
