Ferrero Rocher Low-Fat Butter Cake 金沙低脂奶油蛋糕（中英加图对照食谱）

I have 2 boxes of Ferroro Rocher chocolates at home which I have kept aside to use for my baking. The chocolate itself, consists of a whole roasted hazelnut encased in a thin wafer shell filled with hazelnut chocolate and covered in milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts.

I have modified this recipe from my 'Super Moist Low-Fat Butter Cake' which is super well received by my readers. Everyone who has baked the low-fat version butter cake gave two thumbs up as the cake texture is light, fragrant and moist. Best of all, it only uses half the amount of butter as compared to the usual butter cake!

I have baked this Ferrero Rocher low-fat butter cake for my church cellgroup gathering recently and it was well received! The feedback given was the cake texture is light, moist, fragrant and not greasy at all. You will surely crave for a second helping after you have tasted one. I simply like the hazel nutty taste in each mouthful, so yummy and special!

I highly recommend you to try this cake and hope you will love it as much as I do!

Low-Fat Almond Butter Cake 低脂杏仁奶油蛋糕（中英加图对照食谱）

Finally, the kids are back to school today after a month of school holidays! I've not been blogging for the past weeks as the June school holidays have kept me really busy. With the kids around, I hardly have time for myself and also I'm involved in a new project and am so EXCITED about it! (it's a secret now but I'll tell you when the time is right, ok? ;p)

已将近一个月没在这儿与大家分享了。六月的学校假期，孩子们没上学，全职妈妈的我特别忙碌，几乎每天都安排一些活动与孩子们互动，没什么个人时间。同时，也参与了一个新项目而感到非常兴奋！ （暂时是个秘密，时机成熟会告诉大家的！）

Today I'm sharing one of my three recipes which was published in the 'Gourmet Living Magazine' April/May 2016 issue.
今天要与大家分享在‘食尚品味’四/五月杂志刊登的其中之一食谱。

Bak Kwa Cookies 肉干曲奇（中英加图对照食谱）

Today is the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. In two days time, it will mark the seventh day of the first month on the Lunar calendar, traditionally known as 'Renri' (人日)which means the common man's birthday and everyone grows one year older. Coincidentally, 14 February is also the western Valentine's Day.

I have made some heart-shaped bak kwa (pork jerky) cookies specially for my dear hubby. Bak Kwa is a traditional and popular Chinese New Year snack food in Singapore and Malaysia to welcome the prosperity of the coming year and are often bought as lavish gifts for friends and family. Due to a super busy schedule, I do not have the time to prepare my own Homemade Bak Kwa this year. I have used store-bought ones for this recipe and the savoury cookies turned out to be flavorful and tasty. Do give it a try when you have the time. Here's wishing everyone an advance 'Happy Birthday' and 'Happy Valentine's Day'!

再过两天就是农历正月初七，是人日也恰巧是西方情人节。我做了些心形肉干曲奇送给老公。这咸味的手做饼干又美味又可口，有空大家也试一试吧！在此先预祝大家人日快乐，情人节快乐！

Cheesy Shanghai Mooncake 芝士上海月饼（中英加图对照食谱）

I have actually scheduled this week to bake more varieties of mooncakes but due to unforeseen circumstances, my girl injured her toe and I had to bring her to the hospital to see the Pediatric Orthopaedic and more visits to the hospital as my boy has to see Pediatric Ophthalmology and mum has to undergo minor surgery. So, I am left with just one day to bake before the mid-autumn festival this Sunday. I have chosen to try out this cheesy Shanghai Mooncake which is so much easier as compared to the traditional Cantonese style mooncakes. It turned out to be fragrant and tasty. Do give it a try if you have some time. :)

I love it as I am one who advocates using all natural, healthy and premium ingredients for baking!

Banana Nutella Pound Cake 香蕉榛果巧克力酱磅蛋糕（中英食谱教程）

I don't know about you but I love Sara Lee's pound cakes since I was a child and would always eat it together with a cup of fresh milk. Three months ago, I shared my 'Marble Chocolate Pound Cake ' and it was super well received as many who have baked it feedback that it tasted exactly like Sara Lee's marble pound cake.

As I had some full ripe bananas sitting on my wet kitchen counter top, I was thinking if I should use it to bake my all time favourite 'Banana Cake' (this is another highly recommended cake which many of my readers have tried and feedback that it is so soft and fluffy) or try something new. Then that big bottle of Nutella caught my sight... and here you are a Banana Nutella pound cake which is fragrant and tasty!

从小就爱吃莎莉蛋糕，前阵子做的“大理石巧克力磅蛋糕”很受欢迎，许多读者试了，反馈味道很像莎莉的大理石蛋糕。

因为看到厨房还剩几条熟透的香蕉，就在想，要不要拿来做我最喜欢又强力推荐的“香蕉蛋糕”（质感超柔软又蓬松!）或是尝试其他没做过的糕点。想着想着就看到那大瓶的榛果巧克力酱......就把香蕉榛果巧克力酱磅蛋糕给做出来了，味道又香又美味！

Homemade SUBWAY White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies 白巧克力夏威夷豆软曲奇（中英食谱教程）

My girl is a great fan of Subway White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. I wanted to surprise her by baking some copycat version. I am happy with my experiment as the result is quite close to the store bought ones.

女儿好喜欢吃SUBWAY的白巧克力夏威夷果仁软曲奇，我就在家试做了山寨板的，希望能给她一个惊喜。好开心味道跟Subway店还蛮接近的。

Before you start, may I suggest that you read the important tips given below on how to achieve soft and chewy cookies. Please do not reduce the sugar amount as it will also affect the cookie texture.

在试做之前，建议您先看以下的重要提示如何才能做出软又有嚼劲的曲奇。请不要降低糖份，因为这也会影响曲奇的软质感。

Gula Melaka Chiffon Cake 椰糖戚风蛋糕（中英食谱教程）

This is my second time baking a chiffon cake. My first attempt was almost 2 years ago when I baked a Matcha Chiffon Cake after returning from a Japan holiday as I had bought a big pack of Japanese Matcha powder. I was elated being successful on my first attempt as I was told that the success rate for chiffon cake is not high especially for a newbie.

As I had leftover coconut milk in the fridge, hence the decision to try out the Gula Melaka flavour. Here's sharing my second chiffon cake after a haitus, it is moist and fluffy and of course delicious and fragrance!

Matcha & Beetroot Butter Cake for my 15th Wedding Anniversary 抹茶与甜菜根奶油蛋糕庆祝水晶婚（中英食谱）

I was cracking my brain hard again....thinking what cake to bake for my 15th crystal wedding anniversary. Last year, I created the 'Non-Bake Rose cheesecake' and it was well received by hubby as well as many readers who have tried the recipe. You might think why is it so difficult to decide what to bake, I could have just decided on a sponge cake and decorated with loads of whipping cream. Well...my hubby dislikes cakes with whipping cream and he is not one who can be pleases easily. (oops...Shhhh! ) Thus, I have to come up with a plain, yet pretty and delicious cake to please both his eyes and palate....haha! After some thoughts, I decided to adapt from my super moist 'Almond Butter Cake' and baked this super healthy, all natural and delicious Matcha Beetroot Butter Cake the night before the special occasion on 27 May.

Last Wednesday morning, I showed him the cake and he said, "Interesting!". I cut a slice for him, he took a bite and said, "Hmm...taste good!" As I mentioned in my previous post, my hubby isn't one who praises easily too, so if he says good, it must be so! ;p

We had a nice dinner celebration that night and received this complimentary chocolate fudge cake. :)

Chocolate Marble Pound Cake 巧克力大理石磅蛋糕（中英食谱教程）

I was a huge fan of Sara Lee pound cakes before I picked up baking 4 years ago. I have tried baking several pound cake recipes like the Blueberry Whipping Cream pound cake, Cream Cheese pound cake and Orange Yogurt pound cake and thus far this Chocolate Marble pound cake gives the best taste! With the addition of yogurt, the texture is moist and not greasy too. Thanks to my dear friend, Lois, who highly recommended this recipe to me. My hubby gave a big thumbs up when he ate it and I am so pleased! You see, he is rather critical and not one who praises easily, if he says good, it must be so...LOL!!!

四年前，还没开始玩烘焙时，就好喜欢买‘沙莉雪藏蛋糕’。试过好几款磅蛋糕如‘ 蓝梅鲜奶油磅蛋糕’，‘奶油奶酪磅蛋糕’和‘ 柳橙优格磅蛋糕’，还是这‘巧克力大理石磅蛋糕’最好吃！因为加了优格，蛋糕的质感又湿润又细腻，而且吃起来也没那么油腻。真的感谢好友Lois强力推荐她收藏多年的食谱，我才能够吃到这么好吃的磅蛋糕。老公吃了也竖起拇指说好。哇，这下我可high了，因为他不轻易给于赞美的喔！所以他说好就是好。。哈哈！

Quick & Easy Almond Cupcake pops & Giveaway 简易杏仁蛋糕棒棒糖与赠品活动（中英食谱教程）

I have always thought that making cake pops are messy and very time-consuming as it involves the process of baking a cake first, mashing it up and forming into small balls. And to use your bare hands to shape the cake crumble individually into a ball is indeed daunting and seems to take forever!

Well, I have changed my thoughts about this cake pop making after Mastrad Asia Pacific approached me recently and introduced me to their Cupcake pops kit. I am amazed at how easily cake pop can be done with the baking kits provided. Here is a box of Mastrad Cupcake pops kit which I have received to try out.

Mastrad F44960 Cupcake Pops Kit

It contains:
- A flexible, nonstick 100% silicone mould with 24 baking cups and a lid.
- 24 reusable sticks.
- A mini pastry bag with 3 pastry tips for filling the baking cups with precision and decorating your cupcake pops.

- A Cupcake Pops booklet with tips and recipes to inspire your creative side.

I am happy and pleased at how easily and convenient cake pops can be made now as all you need is to prepare the cake batter, pour it into the decor pastry bag provided, pipe into the cupcake mould and bake it. Voila! Your cake pops are ready in 15 minutes! Easy peasy ya?

Here's sharing the recipe which I have adapted and modified from the booklet. If you are keen to try out this cupcake pop kit, scroll all the way down to take part in the Giveaway and you may be the lucky one to win a set!

Vegetarian Cheese Pancake 蔬菜乳酪煎饼（中英食谱教程）

My kids never have any problem with eating vegetables since young. In fact, they love all sorts of vegetables in any form be it stir-fried, poached, steamed or salad. I recalled when my boy was a year old and had just started taking solid food, whenever he saw green vegetable in our food, he would say,"Green please, green please!" We would then pick out the greens and put into his mouth and he would be chewing away happily, rather unusual isn't it? I am more than happy that they love to eat vegetables and they always get a generous portion during meal time. If your kids do not like vegetables then you can get them to eat their greens by 'hiding' it in the food just like this simple vegetarian cheese pancake which I had prepared for our breakfast last weekend. You can prepare the batter the night before, seal it with cling wrap and refrigerate it. The next morning mix the batter with the shredded vegetables and cheese before pan-frying it. Your healthy breakfast will be ready in less than 30 minutes! Or you can have this healthy snack anytime you fancy...
