Chocolate button muffins

October 15 1 Comment

Hii guys!! These delicious Chocolate button muffins happened the other day. I call them chocolate button and not chocolate chip or chocolate chunk. I love BIG fluffy muffins with lots of chocolate in each bite 😀 Cupcakes can be small cute and dainty, but muffins should always be BIG and gorgeous. And these Chocolate button muffins perfectly fit my criteria 🙂 Whenever I order in a bakery, I always prefer a muffin to a slice of heavily frosted cake. There is nothing as good as a tall muffin with a cup of cappuccino . I don’t even need company when […]

Black and White Cake

October 4 No Comments

I have been very lazy in writing lately 🙁 Lots of posts need to be written because I keep experimenting with new recipes. Baking is the only thing which liberates me!! And the net is full of inspiration. My pinterest feed is overflowing with drool-worthy bakes. This Black and White Cake was baked for my mom’s birthday in august. It was so rich and sinful. It comprised of a vanilla cake between two chocolate cakes sandwiched with a creamy buttery condensed milk frosting and topped with dark chocolate ganache. A slice of this Black and White Cake is nothing […]

Chocolate Celebration Cake

September 9 2 Comments

A chocolate cake that is baked for an anniversary celebration becomes a Chocolate Celebration Cake. 😀 The cake was baked for my parent’s 31st wedding anniversary. 31 years of staying together, fighting and making up together. For me, It’s an enormous amount of time. Being a bachelor myself, I don’t understand how one tends to share everything with another person 😛 Anyways, since I was baking for both of them, I needed something of common interest. And both of them love chocolate!! Strangely, Dad says he doesn’t like chocolate but still sneaks in chocolate from our chocolate collection. Our chocolate […]

Banana Chocolate Streusel Cake

September 9 3 Comments

Hey folks!! Been a while I posted something. But I have been baking several cakes during this period as well. Sometimes for freinds, sometimes for special occasions such as raksha bandhan and I have also baked cakes without sugar for a diabetic freind. So the baking has been on in full hustle. I will soon post a sugarfree and guilltfree recipe for our diabetic and diet conscious freinds. But till then try baking this Banana Chocolate Steusel Cake. It’s a moist fruity cake with a crunchy chocolate streusel. Perfect for our morning breakfast. We even ate it as a dessert […]

Peek-a-boo Cake

July 22 1 Comment

I don’t like baking the same recipes again and again :D. I constantly have fights with mom because she is terrified when I enter the kitchen with something new in mind. But what is the fun in doing something you have already mastered. One should keep trying new stuff and upgrade themselves. I do revisit my tried and tested recipes occasionally. But I am all up for new challenges. Baking is some sort of therapy for me. Even if a recipe requires me to slog several hours at a stretch, I am still a happy person. The Peek-a-boo Cake is […]

Chocolate Caramel Layer Cake

June 16 No Comments

Baked a Chocolate Caramel Layer Cake for my brother’s birthday. It’s a three layered chocolate cake with caramel frosting in between the layers and dark chocolate ganache all over. Also caramelized nuts on the top! Way awesome 😀 I know u would want to ask what is different from the earlier recipe on the blog- “Chocolate Cake with caramel buttercream and roast almond filling“. Well the caramel is different. This isn’t a caramel buttercream. It’s silky golden caramel made with condensed milk. It only takes 15 minutes to get this caramel together. The brown sugar lends it this gorgeous golden […]

Chocolate Cake With Coconut Filling

May 14 No Comments

Chocolate Cake With Coconut Filling Hello Fellas!!! What’s the highlight of any meal for u? The Dessert 😀 Isn’t it!! But we don’t always have this luxury with our everyday home cooked meal. Although Indian homes always have some Mithai or something sweet disguised as Prashad! In our house, cakes too 😛 But for those days, when we have nothing of this sort- Chocolates suffice 🙂 We have lots of chocolates stocked in our refrigerator all the time-Dairy milk silk, snickers,mars, bounty, twix and amul too. Bounty is a personal favourite! Chocolate and coconut go so well together. I have […]

Baked Mini Donuts

April 3 2 Comments

Hello lovely people! It’s been a long time I baked something. First the Navratras and then the laziness :D. Frankly I have been very lazy lately to bake anything. And even this recipe is a no-fuss recipe. I love donuts and this is a baked version which is so effortless and quick. Since it’s not fried, it’s healthier than the regular donuts. Another reason to try it! My sister had gifted these mini donut tins a while ago and finally I got time to experiment with these. These adorable cute little baked mini donuts are so light and lovely, […]

Chocolate and peanut butter swirl Bark

January 24 No Comments

I know you are wondering what’s a ”BARK” doing on a baking blog 😀 A Bark is basically a sheet of your favourite chocolate (white/dark/milk) covered with nuts, dried fruits, candies, peanut butter or some other chocolate swirled in. The name actually comes from the resemblance of the finished product to rough pieces of a tree bark. This is probably the simplest thing you can put together and it still doesn’t fail to impress!! It also makes for a lovely homemade gift for your loved ones. Another version is the Peppermint Bark- where the chocolate is topped with peppermint candies. […]

Chocolate cake with Caramel Buttercream and Roast almond Filling

January 11 4 Comments

We all get so comfortable with the things we know that we stop trying new stuff and taking risks. Like, I haven’t ventured into any new recipe for so long :(. But on insistence of a friend, I finally tried my hands at making Caramel. I have read the process several times earlier, but the technicality, the need of a candy thermometer and the bubbling hot cream technique are enough to scare anyone. I also read the condensed milk caramel, also called Dulce de leche. This did interest me but I didn’t have condensed milk at hand. So I started with what I had, […]
