Milk Chocolate and Hazelnut Truffles

The first time I properly heard anything about truffles, was at one of Pooja Dhingra’s workshops, where we also learnt how to make them. The recipe I’ve used is from Pooja Dhingra’s book, The Big Book of Treats. I modified the recipe a bit, but you can use whichever works best for you. For the truffles:…

Santa’s Belt Cake

Now, this may look like any other cake. Plain simple red velvet cake. But just you wait. There’s a little surprise inside. Be warned, this cake is massive. MASSIVE! It’s not super easy to make, but it is easy enough. You will need three layers of my red velvet cake and one layer of my…

Pancakes

Something I don’t get to eat a lot of is pancakes. And they are one of my favourite foods ever! I love waffles too, but since I don’t have a waffle iron this works out very well as a substitute. The recipe I have used here is from Zoella’s blog however I have adapted it…

Brownies

A few nights ago I was craving brownies. Simple, chocolatey brownies. This is a recipe I found in the Leith’s Techniques Bible, but I switched it up a bit. It’s very easy, and very quick. You don’t even need an electric mixer. I just used a whisk and spatula and voila! For the Brownies: 110g…

Jack-O-Lantern Cake

Well, it’s the last day of Halloween, I hope everyone is doing something fun. If you haven’t made something cool for Halloween yet, here’s something you could try. A jack-o-lantern pinata cake.

Fellow blogger Everything on a Plate (my cousin) and I decided to try out, along with her husband and his brother. While I had done the dessert crawl in Powai, she did…

Chocolate Chip Muffins

There are a variety of different muffins in the world, but my absolute favourite is a chocolate chip muffin. It’s one of the pastries I pick up in a breakfast buffet in a hotel, or for a quick breakfast before school. The recipe used is almost the exact same as the lemon, poppy and flax…

Mint Chocolate Chip Cake

Another cake! This time a mint chocolate chip one. The inside is a wonderfully soft chocolate cake while the frosting is a simple, slightly minty buttercream. For the cake: 2 cups castor sugar 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup cocoa powder 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp baking soda A pinch of…

Devil’s Food Cake

In honor of the birthday of one of my favorite people ever, I thought I would share a cake recipe. I’ve made plenty of devil’s food cakes before, the Betty Crocker one, and I can honestly say that this tastes exactly the same if not better. For the cake: 180g butter 290g sugar 3/4 cup…

Chocolate Roulade

When I first read chocolate roulade, the only thing I could picture was a chicken roulade but a chocolate version, so maybe a swiss roll. But when I read the recipe for Leiths Techniques Bible, I learnt that its like a swiss roll, but is in fact a fallen souffle. The recipe is a little…
