I often dream of opening a small cafe in the mountains, serving good coffee and cake. Coming back from the mountains:P. This Marble Loaf Cake Recipe yields […]

Butterscotch chips and cashew squares with chocolate glaze

We often enjoy Chocolate and peanut butter together. One can also fall in love with the flavors of coffee and caramel. But it’s seldom that one appreciates how well Butterscotch mingles with cashews. It’s an understated yet heavenly combination. These Butterscotch Blondies celebrate this grand combo! Do you remember my “Butterscotch Ice cream Cake”? That’s where my love for Butterscotch and cashews started. This one-bowl, no messy recipe makes deliciously addictive Butterscotch Blondies. Thick and chewy, buttery with caramel goodness from the butterscotch chips and crunch from the nutty cashews. They are so addictive,that they are potentially dangerous […]

Cardamom Cinnamon Rolls

October 5 50 Comments

So everyone’s been posting apple and pumpkin recipes. I am also trying to convince myself to make the transition. Fall has it’s own charm, but it’s hard to bid goodbye to summer! These Cardamom Cinnamon Rolls make for a great breakfast in the winter season. This was my first yeast recipe and I can tell you I wasn’t disappointed. Working with yeast is not as technical as I had thought. I kept looking for simple yeast bread recipes all over the web. But most of them required a stand mixer for making the dough, and I don’t own one. After […]

Ours is a household, where anything chocolate is devoured down pretty quickly! Both my siblings, me and mommy, all of us love the dark richness of Chocolate. Daddy is not crazy for desserts. He loves all Indian sweets, but he isn’t a fan of the cakes with frostings that make an appearance on the blog :D. This Black Forest Tart was made at just an hour’s notice. So you can imagine how quick and easy this is! My brother was craving something chocolate and whipped cream. As I was checking my pantry staples to bake something for him, I came […]

No-Bake Cashew Cream Chocolate Cheesecake

September 12 51 Comments

My quest to find a healthy yet impressive chocolate cake recipe for my mother’s birthday, lead me to find this amazing No-Bake Cashew Cream Chocolate Cheesecake recipe. I can’t bake anything very rich for her. She is very specific about her diet. Last year I baked the Chocolate Espresso Mousse Cake for her. She had liked it so much. She prefers a light silky texture to her cakes. Instead of dense chocolate truffle cakes, she prefers mousse cakes or cheesecakes. Since I baked the mousse cake last year, I zeroed in on a cheesecake for this birthday. I searched the […]

Peanut Butter Muffins with Oat Streusel and Nutella Filling

August 17 42 Comments

I have been trying to motivate myself to make something without chocolate! I must tell you, it’s very difficult :D. Even these Peanut butter muffins with oat streusel that I baked yesterday needed some last minute nutella filling and chocolate chips sprinkled on top! My instagram feed is full of colorful fruity bakes for inspiration. I even bought plums and peaches to make something with them. But after few days of procrastination and not letting anyone eat them, we finally relished them the other day! I was actually relieved because now I wouldn’t have to feel guilty for not baking […]
