HONEYCOMB CAKE

I would rather called this honeycomb "kueh" than "cake" ,cos the texture is "kueh" like (Chinese/Nonya steamed pastry) . This is the cake that we'll usually focus on the texture inside make sure it formed a honeycomb like texture for about 3/4 portion height.

Have been seeing these cakes around for awhile ,with a few recipe on hands with slightly different methods ,wasn't sure which one to try untill lately chance upon this clip
Is really not that complicated as what I've thought .


The crucial part is during preparing the caramel, be aware not the over-cooked the sugar cos it'll burnt with seconds delayed. Also be sure to add in boiling water into the cooked caramel.


If you could feel the soft & "springy" touch by hand after baked as first check , next is to slice & check if those honeycomb formed.

Apple Crumble Tart

I've heard about crumble related tarts, pies which claimed to be most hassle-free bakes of all but they didn't draw my attention at all, until lately I've tasted this applie crumble tart, baked by a friend from our sewing group, Hmm.

Like the soft caramel apple filling , the crispy crust & the crumble top ,perfect match!

Little Devil

I have to confessed that I baked this totally out of "Curiousity" ! Beforehand, I make it a point that I will bake it only if I have left with extra egg whites to waste (if it didn't turned out)+ the day that I'm in a perfectly good mood prepared for failure, so yesterday was the day that matches these critiria.


Ok, got the "feet", I'm almost there, But........... SWEET! , that's all I could comment about this little devil, I prefer to look at it than to eat it.

Banana Bread



It seems that whenever we have left with over riped bananas , this will be follow up -Banana bread,
ThoughI personally not fond in adding Bananas, coconuts etc in my bakes, but this bread will be an exeption since
its process is easy that could be done within 30 mins , what's more toasted walnuts will be its perfect match .


Oops! What am I doing, just when the ready batter being sent to the oven, I realised that the honey that was supposed to add in is still sitting on my kitchen scale !!
