There’s something so charming about having cake at tea time. Although I’m a “tea”totaller, I love tea time with all my conviction. Freshly brewed tea sitting in a kettle, warm cake slices lying beside, and a good conversation to accompany, sound like an evening well spent. My conversations at tea time on most evenings are with […]

Eggless Peanut Butter Cookies
I loved making these peanut butter cookies. Not only were they eggless, but they were also made with whole wheat. The cookie mania is real. I’ve been obsessed with trying out different batches of cookies every other day. With two toddlers on hand, one who is a seasoned cookie eater and the other a beginner […]

Here's a new spin on an old favourite: An Upside Down Pineapple Cake. A simple mix of butter and sugar at the start transforms into a thick caramel syrup and keeps the cake moist and delicate.

Gulab Jamun Tiramisu was a combination I didn't know I needed but I'm so glad I put the two together. It might just be my new favourite way to have Tiramisu.
Don't be intimidated by what looks like a lengthy process. It's very simple to make the different components and then assemble them.
Here's how I made it.
40 ladyfinger biscuits
16 gulab jamuns, cut into halves
For the milk mixture
2 cups milk
100 ml condensed milk
A pod of cardamom
A few strands of saffron
For the Saffron custard
1/2 ltr milk
4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp custard powder
A few strands of saffron
A pod of cardamom
For the filling
2 1/2 cups whipped cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
400 gms mascarpone cheese
1. For the milk mixture, mix everything in a saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 mins. Leave it to cool before use.
2. Make the custard according to packet instructions but add the saffron and cardamom to to infuse in the milk first. Leave to cool before use.
3. Mix everything together for the filling and set aside.
To assemble.
1. Take half the biscuits, dip each one in the milk mixture, one by one and spread on the bottom of a large rectangular serving dish to make a layer.
2. Top with half the whipped cream filling
3. Then put half of the jamuns to make another layer.
4. Continue with the rest of the biscuits, dipped in the milk mixture. Then spread the cooled down custard to make another layer
5. Top with the remaining whipped cream mixture and jamuns.
6. Leave to chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.

I make this wheat banana bread all the time because I need just ten minutes to make this batter. Then pop it in the oven and forget about it for about an hour. The rewards are high for such bare minimum effort.
3 bananas, overripe, mashed
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup cream
Juice of 1/2 a lime
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup wheat flour
A handful of chocolate chips.
Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour in a greased and lined loaf pan. Bake in a preheated oven, at 180 C, 55 minutes.

Months ago I made this Swedish visiting cake and if you head to my blog, you'll get the recipe and the reason why this cake is called so.
As always a simple cake, with almost regular ingredients and it'll take hardly any time at all to put together. It's totally my kind of cake and recipe.

Welcoming the magic of Christmas into our homes and hearts. ♥️
What is it about a Christmas tree and the twinkling lights that accompany it that bring us such comfort and joy? Is it the nostalgia of the excitement we felt as kids, preparing for Christmas with our parents, or the carols that sing of hope and good times or just the reminder that we'll all be together again, if the fates allow. But thank God it's Christmas, my favourite time of the year is here.
