Image
I am not surprised if you feel too lazy to take out all the necessary equipment to fix a cake sometimes, worrying about all the washing and wiping would be waiting! So, why not try this recipe to save your day! Just call this, a ‘lazy cake’ because you don’t have to use the electric mixer or the mixing bowl at all. Instead, you just have to cook all the ingredients in a pan. The batter comes out creamy and silky smooth and bakes a super moist and incredibly delicious cake ever! You don’t have to ice this cake because it is perfect as it is. This cake cannot go wrong, so do not worry. Just relax and fold the ingredients together and pop the batter into the oven. I baked this cake under 160C instead of the usual 180C given the fact that the batter is a little too runny and also to achieve a more moist texture in the cake. Tip: If the top of the cake is already browned and the middle is undercooked, cover the top with a baking sheet or just a blank sheet and cook further 10 minutes Ingred

Chinese Dumplings - Super Delicious And Addictive

Image
This easy recipe will bring your dumpling dream come true! Make them at home, keeping the authentic Chinese taste intact and you will never run to restaurants to grab them! I must say that our numerous visits to various restaurants in China Town, in Central London, just to taste their authentic dumplings, have always been tantamount to a massive disappointment. They never lived up to our expectations and I found the outermost layer delicate and moist but the inner filling had very little or no flavours at all. Also, the filling was very little in quantity too.  So, while experimenting with dumpling-making for a while, I came out with such exciting results which surely became an instant hit with my family as well as with friends. As a matter of fact, the overall taste is completely based upon the filling, so, take all the ingredients fresh and of good quality. Minced pork is best for this recipe but if you do not prefer pork opt for chicken mince. The best advantage of making them at ho
