I like this egg tart recipe since i can control amount of the sugar added, i like dessert but don't like it when taste to sweet. i like egg tart very much, the flaky crust and soft filling really a good combination. eat it while hot or chill are both yummy for me.

Spongy Banana Cake

After my first try (banana chiffon) using banana as cake ingredients, i am thinking to try using banana in different type of cake as in chiffon banana i don't really can taste the banana inside the cake.

Hmm, as i don't like heavy/dense cake texture, so banana sponge cake is my choice for second attempt.

The cake turns out really good, banana fragrant everywhere while i am baking. the cake is soft and spongy, until the next day (morning) the cake is still soft but turns out more moist.

Light and Cakey Brownies

This recipe is really suit for me who is not chocolate lover but still want to enjoy brownies. i don't like very chocolaty and fudge brownies. I like the brownies without thick chocolate taste and more cakey / spongy texture.

So when i found this recipe from christine recipe, i thought this brownies is definitely suit me and the one which i look for a long time.

I spread some almond on the top, it turns up pretty good and give the crunchy feel.
The amount of chocolate in this brownies still a lot so you still can taste the chocolate taste but because the cakey texture make the chocolate taste more acceptable for person like me who don't eat much chocolate.

Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

This one really is very late post, i am making triple chocolate mousse cake twice for mother's & father's day back in may and June.

if you want to look at my first mousse cake, please click here

For mothers day cake, i ruined the decoration and its just too tall. Despite, the not so pretty decoration, surprisingly the cake does taste really good, very chocolaty, creamy and soft.

mothers day cake

My whole family accept this triple chocolate mousse cake. My father who doesn't eat any 'modern cake' (he only eat butter cake/pandan chiffon)  say this triple mousse cake was good and he ate one slice every night after meal until the cake finished.

By learning from previous not so pretty mousse cake, for my second attempt which for fathers day cake, i really measure the thickness of each layer to avoid the cake become to tall again, and put more effort for decoration. I make chocolate fence around the cake, put strawberry on top and the pretty fathers day greeting written by my little sisters.
