This tiramisu cake uses sponge cake instead of the traditional Italian ladyfingers. For ease, I have used a microwave sponge cake. It is one of my most popular recipes, particularly for my parents. Their friends love it too and they often talk about how I must make it for them again. But I've been reluctant … Continue reading Tiramisu Cake
Seven years ago, I made this nutty orange carrot cake. It was my seventh post on this website and until then, carrot cakes were a very rare feature of my diet. However, I have been making them more often nowadays as I found out it is my daughter’s favourite cake (for now). She likes carrot … Continue reading Nutty orange carrot cake (370 calories per serve)
I made my first yoghurt cake a while ago and got hooked. It's just brings out a light and fluffy taste to it. I have since started experimenting with various different fruits and berries into yoghurt cakes. We went to a strawberry farm last week and picked a lot of strawberries. My daughter was absolutely … Continue reading Strawberry yoghurt cake
This is devilishly good but so incredibly rich that you couldn't (or shouldn't) eat too much in one go. I could fall asleep into a food coma after this but my husband absolutely loved it. It's really great to snack on and grab a piece or chunk of at 3pm in the afternoon. Now ... having … Continue reading Peanut butter and cookie dough cake (628 calories per serve)
I don't usually crave cake but when I do, I try to scout out interest from my girlfriends to see if I can "share" the calories around. It's really hard to bake a cake for one so I prefer having a whole group of us. The more the merrier (for my waistline). Today's cake of the day is a chocolate sponge cake with cherries and cream.

That's when I realised that for the past year or … Continue reading Fluffy and golden banana cake (268 calories per serve)

This chocolate loaf cake can be made into a round cake or any other shape but I just love it as a loaf cake. Even after living in Australia for 15 years, I still call her 'mom' in the American way. She makes this cake to bring to church to share as morning tea refreshments after … Continue reading Mom’s fluffy chocolate loaf cake
When I showed my mum this cake, she said it looked like a 'fruit basket' so that's what I'm calling it now. The picture shows a double-layer variation with buttercream icing in the middle but this recipe is for a single-layer cake. Serves 12 Prep time 45 mins Cook time 30 mins Ingredients 180g butter, softened and cubed … Continue reading ‘Fruit basket’ chocolate ganache cake (418 calories per serve)
