Orange Yogurt Pound Cake Tutorial Recipe 柳橙优格磅蛋糕 (中英食谱教程)


I grew up eating Sara Lee's pound cake. It's iconic delicious and rich butter pound cake is not unfamiliar with most who can easily spot it in the frozen dessert section in the supermarket. Before I started baking, I would always stock up a few loaf trays of frozen Sara Lee's assortment pound cakes in my freezer as it makes a quick breakfast and great snacks for my family.

Matcha Macarons with Dark Chocolate Ganache (Pierre Hermes Italian Method) Tutorial Recipe


It's been a long time, more than a year, since I last attempted to make macarons. The first time was a total failure, there were no feet at all and many shells were cracked. The second attempt which was my last attempt, turned out better than the first. Half of the shells showed feet but that's only halfway to a successful tray of macarons. I stopped trying after that as firstly, I am not a macaron fan, secondly, there are so many other recipes to try out in my long to-bake-and-try list. Lastly, I am not confident of getting those pretty feets out.

The caramel pudding cake has a caramel top followed by pudding and a sponge cake base, It is a delectable cake which you would not stop after a mouthful and best eaten chilled. 
糖布丁蛋糕是一款有三层不同质感的蛋糕。它令我想起之前做的抹茶魔术卡士达蛋糕。这两款蛋糕的做法完全不同,不过都很美味,吃了一口之后,会想要再来一口。糖布丁蛋糕的特点是您可以同时享受焦糖,布丁和海绵蛋糕三种不同口感的甜点,而且也是一生必吃的超人气名点呢!
