Chocolate Bundt Cake with a Strawberry Surprise (Valentines Day Special)

February 12 2 Comments

Happy Valentine’s Day guys!! I am sure it’s been a hectic week for all the couples :P. So many days to celebrate and so many gifts to buy :D. Some of you might have thought of baking something for that someone special in your lives. Remember last year we made the “Chocolate Brownie with white chocolate frosting”. It had turned out delicious. This time I made a Chocolate Bundt Cake with a Strawberry Surprise. For me, Chocolate resonates with love <3. And nothing better than a moist chocolate bundt cake with strawberry flavoured hearts in each slice. Strawberries and chocolate […]

Hey guys 🙂 Are you enjoying the chilly mornings and the lazy winter days. I am loving every bit of this season. Snuggling up in the blanket with a cup of hot coffee and a slice of cake :D.

Happy Diwali bakers!! Diwali is a festival of happiness 🙂 It’s such a lovely time of the year.

We have a beautiful terrace with a huge bar and barbecue. Dad loves to host dinners there. And of course we need a dessert later 😀 I usually do cupcakes or layer cakes for such parties.

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 […]

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 […]

Hey folks! This recipe just happened suddenly out of nowhere 😀 I had no plans to bake anything for a while. But while browsing cakes on pinterest, the enthusiast in me decided to bake this for our weekend breakfast 🙂 Our entire house smelled wonderful when this cake was in the oven. Cinnamon, brown sugar and a combination of your favorite fruit and nuts. Yummy!! This Fruit and nut upside down cake can be customized as per your liking and convenience. I used a combination of dates, cranberries, almonds and walnuts. It came out beautifully. It’s a simple yet impressive […]

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 […]
