Vanilla Chiffon Cake w/Honeycomb Crunch Toffee


Chiffon cakes tends to be many homebakers favourites choice with its unlimited variations . You name it, they have it from fruits ,vegetable ,wine, spices & the list get longer.

My personal favourites chiffon are Orange & Pandan flavour so far, but I do like to explore as many flavours as I could, thus will be embark on a Chiffon project from now on,wish I could at least try out one flavour each week in order to keep up with the practise of getting the right constistency of the meringue- the first key to achieve a perfect chiffon.

This is the 2nd Chiffon I have baked this week, knew that this creation orginated from Starbucks HK & then gradually became one of the chain bakery house cakes, what a clever idea to add honeycomb crunch toffee as topping, but I would advise to add on the sliced cake itself instead of the topping cos the toffee crunch will soften & melt when is place on a moist surface. (Will try to post recipe for toffee crunch this wkend)

Blueberry Sour Cream Ice Cream (Eggless)








I like to do my grocery shopping at the hyper mart on Sunday early morning, for the reason that we get the freshest supply & great bargain & I bet their price for veggie is cheaper than any of the wet market could offer. besides you could avoid the big crowd that flows in in the mid day.

Grab some imported bluberries, strawberries at a great value lately ,these fruits are really versatile, you could puree & freeze them if not in use yet. Just on time for me to churn out his fantastic Yummy Blueberry ice cream with sour cream added taken from this blog, not only the taste, but the gorgeous violet colours are always tickering your taste bud.
