Red Velvet Cake

When I had my first bite of red velvet cake, I must have been well in my 20’s. So unfair that I spent the first 20 odd years never having known about this gorgeous cake, especially when I probably had better metabolism to burn off all those calories. I won’t lie, Red velvet cake is […]

Semolina Yoghurt Cake

What is it about a semolina yoghurt cake that makes it sound exotic at the very mention of it? I set my heart on this semolina cake the minute I lay my eyes on this simple recipe. If you read my earlier post on Baklava, you are aware of my new found love for rose […]

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

July 7, 2019 by Baking with Rona 0 comments

Apple cinnamon muffins should be acceptable for breakfast. They are made mainly with wheat flour, egg, apples cinnamon and use just half a cup of sugar for 12 delicious muffins. So that is nutrition and taste all in one. These Apple muffins are incredibly pillowy soft and moist. I’m not sure where I formed the […]

Lemon Cake

Lemon Cake has a special place in my heart. Although I’m not a big fan of lemon in savoury dishes, I love lemon with all my heart in cakes and desserts. This reminds me that I must post my recipe for Lemon loaf and the no-bake lemon pie I learnt from a friend. Would you […]

Baklava

June 25, 2019 by Baking with Rona 2 comments

Baklava is a simple and easy dessert to make. Now repeat that as many times as it takes for you to believe it. I’m telling you that because no one ever told me. For the longest time, I always thought Baklava was a complicated dessert to make, one best left for trained chefs to try. […]

Chocolate Cake

Everybody needs a simple recipe for chocolate cake. There are so many kinds of chocolate cakes that it’s almost impossible to find a simple one that is basic and one that uses readily available pantry ingredients. It’s true. I looked through my ginormous collection of baking books trying to find the recipe to a simple […]

Father’s Day Baking : Beer Cake.

June 12, 2019 by Baking with Rona 0 comments

Father’s day is coming up this weekend. I thought hard about what I could bake for Father’s Day. I wonder why, but almost instantly, this beer cake popped up in my head. Dad of the house does love his beer, maybe that’s why. Also, this is a recipe I’ve tried so many times. Having changed […]

Walnut Cake

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

March 13, 2019 by Baking with Rona 0 comments

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 […]
