I am not a Carrot cake person.I will never order it in a bakery. I am a loyal chocolate fan with a complete bias for Chocolate Desserts. I like carrots only in my mom’s gajar ka halwa.

Tiramisu (Eggless)

December 10 2 Comments

Tiramisu is a popular coffee flavoured Italian dessert. In Italian, Tiramisu means “Pick me up”. The legendary dessert tastes so heavenly that it can actually “Pick you up” from the darkest of slumbers. The refreshing and dreamy tasting Tiramisu is like a Trifle pudding comprising of distinct layers. The bottom layer is formed by espresso coffee soaked ladyfinger biscuits. A fluffy liquor spiked mascarpone cheese and cream mixture forms the next layer. And lastly, cocoa or shaved chocolate makes the final impression! Most traditional Tiramisu recipes use raw eggs in the mascarpone filling to give it a thick and creamy […]

Any celebrations coming up guys?? This is a perfect cake for all those occasions! The Drunk Chocolate Cherry Cake is perfect to embrace the winters too.

And Thank God I gave into it! The Chocolate Espresso Mousse Cake was so delicious and sinful […]

The Hummingbird Cake

August 12 2 Comments

The Hummingbird Cake is a signature southern dessert. It’s basically a banana and pineapple spiced cake with a cream cheese frosting. I baked this one for my parents anniversary. The eggless banana and pineapple cake was spiced prominently with cinnamon, a spice that some despise and i absolutely love! The layers had a dulce-de-leche mascarpone filling and the entire thing was frosted with a ready made Pillsbury cream cheese frosting. And not to forget, the crunch from the toasted nuts! Each slice was so filling and scrumptious! All the flavours mingled beautifully!! The Hummingbirds probably fed on fruits and nuts […]
