White Chocolate Cake With Mocha Frosting

Another birthday in the family, this time my sister Jyotika. I don’t know if I have ever told you before , “But Jyotika is Fancyyyy”. She keeps saying this herself all the time :P.

Hot Fudge Sundae Cupcakes

Hot Fudge Sundae Cupcakes

Before you start drooling over adorable pictures of these Hot Fudge Sundae Cupcakes, lemme ask you about your favourite childhood food memories. My mind immediately wanders back to those days when we indulged in hot chocolate fudge sundaes at “Nirulas”. I can’t tell you how glad I used to be, when I was told that we would be going to Nirulas for dinner and ice cream. Back then, Nirulas was the most popular fast food joint and the only place famous for Ice creams. And going there was one big treat!   Summers in India are really long and hot […]

I have always been attracted to Tarts displayed up at bakeries. And always end up disappointed when I […]

Chocolate Celebration Cake

Chocolate Celebration Cake

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 […]

Chocolate Caramel Layer Cake

Chocolate caramel layer cake

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 […]
