Healthy Pandan Chiffon Cake 健康香兰戚风蛋糕 （中英加图对照食谱）

My 93 year-old granny was unwell recently and hospitalized for the past 2 weeks. Those who know me personally, will know that I am very close to her as she has looked after me since I was a baby and I chose to stay with her even when I grew up. She is like a good friend to me and I can talk to her about anything. We have a very close relationship as I stayed with her until I got married.

It saddened me to see her so miserable as she doesn't like to stay in the hospital. She has kept her lips tightly closed and refused the oral medications and hospital food and had to be put on a drip. The doctor thought that she has difficulty in eating and swallowing and wanted to insert a feeding tube in her which we were against.

To proof the doctor wrong that my granny can actually eat, I've baked this pandan chiffon cake using extra virgin coconut oil (see below for the health benefits) and at the same time, I experimented with some bread flour. The result was amazingly good and I was surprised that the texture is so fine, smooth and cottony!

I brought this cake to the hospital and my granny finally opened her mouth to eat as I fed her. The doctor and nurses were really amazed as they saw her chewing the cake happily away! I have shared this cake with the doctors, nurses and patients and all gave big thumbs up and commented that the cake is so delicious!

Thank God that my granny is finally discharged from the hospital and I've baked this family's favourite Gula Melaka Yoga cotton cake, also using extra virgin coconut oil, to welcome her home and cheer her up. Am really happy to see her eating well again. :)

Healthy Wholemeal Cranberry Almond Cookies 健康全麦蔓越梅杏仁酥 （中英加图对照食谱）

The Lunar/Chinese New Year (CNY) is less than a month away. Have you started making CNY goodies? Most traditional Lunar New Year goodies are packed with sugar and fat, with little nutritional value at all. Thus, I am determined to come up with a healthier cookie recipe this year. I have tweaked and modified greatly an almond cookies recipe found on 孟老师's cookie recipe book.

农历新年快到了，您开始做年饼与零食了吗？多数传统的年饼与零食热量和脂肪含量高，几乎没什么营养价值可言。所以，我就把在孟老师手工饼干食谱书上，看到的杏仁酥食谱，大大地改良成健康，营养丰富的全麦蔓越莓杏仁酥。

Japanese Cream Cheese Chiffon Cake 日式奶油乳酪戚风蛋糕（中英加图对照食谱）

This is one of the best chiffon cake that I have ever made as it's so delicate and smooth and literally melts in the mouth! Everyone who tries the cake, loves it's super smooth and moist texture. Hub and kids went for second and third helpings after eating a piece!

这是我吃过最好吃的戚风蛋糕，老公和孩子们吃了一片后还会想要再吃！蛋糕的质感好轻柔，又松软，入口即化！

Really love this recipe taught by a Japanese champion cake talent. In the past, I used to whip up the meringue till stiff peak stage when making chiffon cake, now I have learnt that the best meringue stage is firm peak stage and it's best for making chiffon cake. Firm peak stage is in between soft peak and stiff peak, thus you have to concentrate hard while beating the egg whites in order not to overbeat it.

好喜欢这日本蛋糕达人所教的配方喔! 以往我都是把蛋白霜打到硬性发泡，现在才学到必须把蛋白打成较湿的中性发泡蛋白霜。这是介于湿性发泡与硬性发泡之间的阶段，蛋白霜立起的圆锥状前端微微往下低垂，才是制作戚风蛋糕最理想的蛋白霜状态！所以打发蛋白霜时，一定要专心，不可以打发过头哦！

Another tip for achieving soft, delicate and moist chiffon cake is to use more egg white than egg yolk. Thus, it is better to separate the egg white and egg yolk first then measure out the weight according to the recipe. This recipe is a definite keeper and I am sure gonna bake this again soon!

要制作出轻柔，松软又入口即化的戚风蛋糕最重要的就是微妙的食材比例。所以蛋白和蛋黄是以克来计算的，请大家将蛋白和蛋黄分开后，再仔细称量正确的量。这食谱真的很棒，值得收藏！

Nutella Ogura Cake 巧克力榛子酱相思蛋糕 （中英加图对照食谱）

My first attempt of baking an ogura cake - Ogura Colour De Quad cake was few months back and I like the way it turned out with four different colours using all natural colourings like blue pea flower, beet root powder and matcha powder. This time I decided to try Nutella flavour as I was craving for a chocolate cake. It turned out to be soft, super moist and chocolatey. I am giving myself two thumbs up for this cake as it is super delicious and I highly recommend you to try it!

几个月前第一次做相思蛋糕，用了全天然色素（紫蝶豆花，甜菜根和抹茶）做了四色相思。 这次用了巧克力榛子酱做了这超柔软，超湿润，超好吃的巧克力榛子酱相思蛋糕，强力推荐给您！

Milo Ferrero Rocher Swiss Roll 美禄金沙巧克力卷 （中英加图对照食谱）

Last week was a hectic week for me, visiting the hospital almost everyday! (you will know why if you have read my last post.) I am glad that the week ended well with good celebration of the mid-autumn festival with the extended family.

To support my blogger friend, Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids, who is the host of this month Little Thumbs Up - Milo theme, I have actually come up with this Milo swiss roll recipe two weeks back but have no time to blog about it until now.

I love Milo since young especially the Australian recipe which is tastier and more fragrant. Do you know how I like to enjoy my Milo? I usually put a few heaps of Milo powder in my glass of fresh milk, give it a slight stir before scooping up the clumps of Milo to eat, it's really shiok! ('Shiok' is a common slang word used in Singapore and Malaysia to express happiness, strong pleasure or tingling taste buds with regards of food)

AsI have a box of Ferror Rocher chocolate sitting in the fridge, I decided to use it for the swiss roll fillings. I am delighted that the crushed hazelnuts, chocolate and wafer cream fillings turned out to be super delicious and it blended so well with the Milo swiss roll! My fussy hubby and kids gave a big thumbs up for this new creation. :)

I have also used organic extra virgin coconut oil in this recipe and here's sharing the health benefits of it.
