The Return of the Red Velvet Cake

The Return of the Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Red is the colour of passion and is my favourite actually. When I first moved into our new house a couple of years back, I had to seriously resist the temptation to paint the walls a fiery red. Would've driven my darling hubby nuts! Anyway, my kitchen cabinet is red and I'm loving it. Oops...sorry, I digress. We are after all talking about the popular Red Velvet Cake, I've baked quite a few over the years but it's just gaining a footing here in good ole Malaysia. A number of orders came in in the last couple of weeks and it seems that everybody's quite curious about this lovely cake. Not sure what it is? Well, contrary to some belief, it is actually not a chocolate cake. No sirree...cocoa is added for a subtle taste of richness. It's all about the colour and it does look gorgeous when sliced. Some prefer the traditional cream used in Southern USA but here, most prefer cream cheese. I do like cream cheese frosting as well.

This Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting was ordered by Suhadah. Hope she enjoys eating it as much as I enjoyed baking it.

White Chocolate with White Chocolate Buttercream ... Utter Decadence!

The funny thing about white chocolate is that fact that there is hardly any cocoa in them. Seriously, what is the whole point? I'm not exactly a chocolate fanatic...savoury pastries would bring me down on my knees, thanking God. But I do appreciate a good chocolate bar once in a while and the darker and more bitter it is, the more I'd swoon. White chocolate is quite a fascinating entity though and quite tricky to use in baking. I've tried a few recipes over time but haven't actually came across one that I like. Anyway, I purchased a huge block of white chocolate the other to experiment. Since I'm not a huge fan of white chocolate, most of this lovely concoction went to my neighbour's kids. This is truly quite a decadent recipe and uses huge amount of chocolate. Just crazy sweet!

Blueberry Cake

This Blueberry Cake is great for a simple tea party with your family and friends. I love to have slices of this cake with a cup of hot steaming cappuccino. It’s moist with a rich buttery taste and bursts of tart sweetness from the blueberries.

Chocolate Brownie with Blueberry Cheesecake

For chocoholics and cheesecake lovers, this Chocolate Brownie with Blueberry Cheesecake is a marriage made in heaven. The dense, cakey brownie is the perfect accompaniment to the slightly sweet blueberry cheesecake. Every slice is like an explosion of senses. It’s a two-in-one celebration of taste.

Blueberry Cheesecake

The Blueberry Cheesecake is fast becoming a personal favourite! I can't stop stuffing my poor hubby with it. He's gaining quite a bit of weight around the middle part. The thing is I cannot use any of that low-fat cream cheese. It just won't taste the same. If you are a cheesecake fanatic like I am, this should be on your list of must-have.


My Blueberry Cheesecake has blueberries inside and outside, I cover it with a generous serving of blueberry syrup. It's not overtly sweet with a slight tartness from the lemon juice I added.
