HEALTHY DELICIOUS LIME CAKE…with whole wheat too!
“Good food is a celebration of life.”Sophia Loren HEALTHY ‘n’ DELICIOUS LIME CAKE…with whole wheat too! A day without baking is tough to pass. 3 days went by, and the symptoms began. The itch to get back & do something, bake anything..anything to turn the oven on again. My mantra…the only constant is change, a variant of Heraclitus’s Greek philosophy. One of the first things we were told when I had started working many years ago… the philosophy remains. So decided to try my recipe lemon cake again, with a healthier turn to it. Substituted some regular flour for whole-wheat flour & threw in some walnuts too. Disaster struck halfway…

Back to baking again…ORANGE SHORTBREAD COOKIES
“And every day when I’ve been good, I get an orange after food.” Robert Louis Stevenson ORANGE SHORTBREAD COOKIES Orange Shortbread Christmas cookies from the ‘Great Big Cookie Book’…crispy, buttery & just right on sweetness. Its the orange zest that adds a burst of fresh flavour to this shortbread. Its amazing how much of a difference natural flavours can make to food! The orange before it lost its zest! The recipe is quite similar to the Lime Shortbread Cookies one I posted a few days ago; except there are no twists to the original recipe this time, but for the shapes. If you haven’t got cookie cutters, worry not! Just…

STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE…A Delectable Cake for Tea or Dessert
“Laughter is brightest where food is best.” Irish Proverb STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE This recipe is adapted from one of the first baking sites I used to browse many many moons ago…the ‘Joy of Baking‘. Just the other day my friend from Kiev & I were chatting online & looking for poppy seed muffin recipes on this site. One thing led to another, & eventually to this delectable looking ‘Streusel Coffee Cake’. This was last week, but the picture had been haunting me ever since & I just HAD to bake it. I made a few small changes here & there; one for sour cream & the other being orange rind……

LEMON CAKE…Baked as a gift!!
“I feel a recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook can play each time with a variation.” Madam Benoit LEMON CAKE sans sour cream… Made my ‘twisted’ & ‘tangy’ lemon cake again…keeping in mind Zlamushka’s ‘Spoonful of Christmas’. This was a gift for a friend, and looked very pretty when dressed up. Convenient to gift too, since it’s already in a ‘case’! This time I used something very interesting…‘Lemon Sugar’ that my friend got from Ukraine. They have these satchets of lemon sugar that are very citrusy and add a lovely tang and kick to the cake. This recipe made 2 nice loaves…so we had one too! Yippee!!…

YUMMY PICNIC CHOCOLATE CAKE…IT’S HEALTHY TOO!!
“Like love, chocolate is always a delight to receive or to give.”MARY JANE FINSAND YUMMY PICNIC CHOCOLATE CAKE Love experimenting with chocolate cakes for the kids…and am trying to get to the perfect chocolate cake sans frosting. I have tried umpteen recipes, and find that the good ones use far more butter than I like, or have to be frosted to taste good. The perfect balance in taste, ingredients, fibre etc is probably yet to come…but I made this this afternoon, and find it comes quite close. It’s simple, straight-forward & from my heart! I tossed in ingredients from the top of my head like an expert, and then stood…
