Bailey’s Chocolate Truffles

December 13 No Comments

Can’t tell you how good they were! Seriously, do try them. These Bailey’s Chocolate Truffles were out of this world! It’s such a cute party dessert. Bite sized and perfect to satisfy those sweet cravings. On top of that, the flavor that this Irish cream liqueur imparts to these Bailey’s Chocolate Truffles is amazing. Truffles are a no fuss dessert. You just need good quality dark chocolate, heavy cream and spirits. I am going to try with dark rum next time :D. Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur is an irish whiskey and cream based liqueur. It tastes amazing in chocolate […]

Happy Diwali bakers!! Diwali is a festival of happiness 🙂 It’s such a lovely time of the year. The air is crisp and cooler, all the houses are lit up beautifully, we meet relatives and old friends and not to forget the Big Diwali Parties!! 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. They not only look gorgeous on the table but are a delight for everyone. This time I was in […]

Guilt-free Chocolate Tart

October 29 No Comments

It’s difficult when you want to eat something sinful which is guilt-free as well. Everyone at home has been counting calories and trying to loose weight. I am also worried about the few extra inches that I have managed to pile on my waist. But you know how much I love to be in the kitchen, next to my oven 🙂 That is how this Guilt-free Chocolate Tart happened. And I am more than happy that I tried something like this. I have always been attracted to Tarts displayed up at bakeries. And always end up disappointed when I […]

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 […]

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 Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting

July 11 No Comments

Eating a nicely baked cupcake with lots of frosting transports you to another world. A cupcake is a perfect dessert. Pretty and dainty!! I haven’t baked any cupcakes in a long time and the reason is that they vanish so soon 😛 and everyone is left wanting for more. But finally on insistence of my brother, I baked these “Chocolate Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting” . A bite into this cupcake and there’s a chocolate explosion in your mouth 😀 Chocolate cupcake topped with chopped gems in chocolate syrup and then frosted with a creamy nutella whipped cream frosting. Chocolate overload!! […]
