Apple Crumb Cake Recipe

March 13, 2014

Yes, I am a fan of adding fruits to my bakes especially when it comes to cakes and that explains this Apple Crumb Cake. Perhaps it could also be an unconscious effort to try and mask that guilt of eating cakes. So here is the theory, fruits are healthy right? Fruits in cakes, would make the cake healthier. So it is absolutely…

Donut muffins with raspberry jam filling

April 20, 2013

I am not a huge fan of chocolate and chocolate based bakes. I mean I can still eat it in small portions but I am not crazy about it. I would choose a strawberry Charlotte over a chocolate mud cake anytime.I would choose fruit tarts over chocolate tarts. And yes, I would definitely go with strawberry or vanilla ice cream…

November 22, 2010

I bought Pierre Herme's book and I am totally in love with that guy. Olive oil in macarons, black pepper in desserts and there is his "Emotion Fragola", a dessert made with spaghetti cooked in strawberry juice. This guy is a genius! He is nicknamed the "Picasso of cakes" and I think the nickname is befitting indeed. :) He started at…

I have been wanting to bake madeleine but I wasn't able to lay my hands on a madeleine pan. When I finally managed to lay my hands on the pan, I tried baking a batch and it was a breeze. My mom totally loved it and my brother kept popping 1 after another in his mouth; despite protesting by saying…

Fruit Pastry

June 29, 2008

All these berries went into Two fruit pastries!! A delicious cake that is moist and soft. It actually reminded me of Sara Lee's Pound Cake. The aroma of the cake filled the house when it was baking away. The berries made the cake delightful to eat. This would go very well with peaches too! So here's the recipe for this Berry-ful goodness. Fruit…
