Lemon sour cream cakes

If you have made a baked cheese cake and have some sour cream and cream cheese left over.

You can try using it up to make Lemon sour cream cakes.

Durian Mousse cake

 

 

Ohhhh... I love Durian, my husband loves Durian, my daughter loves it too.....I'm training my 3 year old son to like it but not sure if he is as keen as we are.

 

In the UK, fresh Durain is very hard to find. We always stock up on frozen ones we buy from the chinese supermarket so that whenever we fancy Durians, we have it at available at home.

This makes it very convenient for me when I want to make Durian cakes.

 

I have found the basic sponge cake recipe for a mousse cake is too firm and I really need something that's soft and fluffy to compliment the smooth and creamy mousse.

Like the 'melt in the mouth' feeling.

 

I came up with this sponge as an experiment and it worked a treat.

It was a soft and fluffy sponge that was a perfect match for the mousse cake.

Blood Orange sponge cupcakes

Blood Oranges are very juicy and the ones I bought tastes no difference to a normal orange.

My daughter wasn't too keen on the look of it and now refuse to eat it.

 I decide to make orange sponge cupcakes hoping the kids will still eat it in cake form haha...

And yes they did, I think I have to bake with more fruits as my son still refuse to eat any fruits.

This sponge cupcake is very soft and as the egg batter is whisked to ribbon stage, the stabilised egg batter have made this cake really spongy and springs back when I pressed it.

Here is a video of how spongy the sponge cake is.

I only have a 6 hole muffin tin so I managed to get 6 large cupcakes and 3 small square chiffon cup cases with this recipe.

If you have a 12 hole muffin tin then you can get 9 cupcakes out of it.
