Blueberries Buttermilk Bundt Cake
蓝莓酪乳Bundt 蛋糕

-
September mid-term school holiday has passed quietly. As we did not plan to go anywhere in such a short period, kids stayed at home most of the time, and I went to work as usual. Without the pressure of waking up at 6am in the morning, I stayed up late on a weekday and baked my 2nd Bundt cake.
 
 
Some left-over blueberries have been in my freezer for months. I used them mostly in cheesecake and muffins. Looking at my newly bought Bundt pan,  Blueberries Bundt cake poped up in my mind.

Since these blueberries tastes a bit sour, I decided to use my favorite Lemon Buttermilk Bundt Cake recipe,  and replace lemon with blueberries.  As expected, the Bundt cake turned out so tender and moist! Blueberries evenly distributed within the cake, nicely moderated the sweetness of the cake. Without cutting the cake, you can't tell it has some blueberries inside. I did not prepare the glaze as the fresh cake iteself tastes finger lickin' good!

Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) is still 20 days away, but Singapore is already getting ready for the Year of Horse. CNY decorations are all over the shopping malls, very pretty and impressive. As a home baker, it's time for me to bake CNY cookies . As usual, pineapple tarts are the top in my baking list. This year, I decided to try a different recipe.  Actually, I saw this recipe from Sonia's blog ( Nasi Lemak Lover ) last year. She said it's the "Best Melt-in-the-Mouth" pineapple tart recipe. As I have already finished baking  pineapple tarts  with my own recipe then, so did not have the chance to try.  A few days ago, Zoe from Bake For Happy Kids  shared her experience of baking pineapple tarts with 3 popular recipes. One of them is Sonia's.  Zoe provided a comparison table with ingredients and method used in each recipe, and concluded that Sonia's recipe yields the best melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts.  Though I have never doubt "baki

Cake Muffins Worth Queueing for at Shunfu Market

Knowing that I bake muffins, a friend recommended me to try the muffins from Chocolat N' Spice at Shunfu market.  He said Shunfu market - a neighbourhood hawker center,  is famous because of the muffin store.  The snake queue in front of  the muffin store has become an unique scenery of this quiet hawker center. People queueing for muffins? Out of curiosity, I dropped by the store one day during lunch time. Over the one hour stay at the hawer center, I observed an average of 8-9 people in the queue. It has never shortened until all the muffins were sold out.  I bought one box of 6 muffins of different flavours,  priced from $1.30 to $1.60 each.  I chose Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate, Banana Walnut,  Blueberry, Mocha and Cheese . These freshly baked muffins are large, soft with golden domed top, so enticing. Shared with colleagues, everyone was asking me when I would make the next the trip down. Each of them would like to order one box!  The following week, I brought 6 boxes of

Air-Fried Buttermilk Chicken

My taste buds are fond of fried foods.  The pleasure of eating deep-fried food is irresistible to me. I like the tender interior and crisp exterior, which remains crisp even as the food soaks up the tangy sauce. However, for my family's health, I seldom deep fry food at home. I usually replace deep frying with baking, e.g, baked potato sticks , chicken wings and pork ribs .  Baked food tastes good, but sometimes, deep-fried food still tastes better. To satisfy our craving for deep-fried food,  we bought a Philips Airfryer recently. Now I can air fry! We have air-fried some "forbidden" snacks at home, and this buttermilk fried chicken is one of the top recipes we have tried so far.
