Baked Banana Cheesecake

I was sorting out those "bookmarked" recipes today and I found this Baked Banana Cheesecake I baked last September. It has been "hanging" around in my "Draft" box for 9 months.

So now finally took this time to post this yummy Baked Banana Cheesecake up:)

If you liked those soft and moist cheesecake, this would probably be the one for you. Whereas for the girls, they did not fancy this cheesecake at all..
With the sweetness of the banana and rum, it was actually quite a good combination.

Banana Macadamia Chocolate Chips Cake, A Healthier Choice (Vegetarian-No egg, No Dairy)

Nope... I am not a vegetarian, in case you wondered why these days I kept baking vegan cakes....hehehe...

It is going to be a good long 15 days for the Chinese Lunar New Year and the last day will ends on the 24th Feb, 初十五。And I am sure by then, everyone of us would have gained a little more weight than usual due to the goodies and the delicious delicacy during these periods... I am probably 1 of them too... Oops... kekeke....

So today, I will like to share this great recipe from Alex Goh's, Fabulous Cake Business.

His Eggless Banana Cake, he claimed that this cake is moist and dense, and moreover, his cake recipes never failed any....

 I had to try this recipe, also partly because I liked to use up my 2 over riped bananas... LOL...

I had baked it in a 7" inch round cake pan and 3 regular sized muffins. I personally felt that it will be better if you could baked them in muffins as it will take shorter time in baking and it is more easily consumed... In fact, Nat had taken 2 of the muffins after I had baked them, I was glad as she told me that she loved these muffins as they were so yummy...♡♡♡

Well, she was right... Straight after I had taken the pictures of the cake, I had taken a bite of it... Yes, it was indeed, moist and dense, with the macadamia nuts and chocolate chips in the cake....ooooh.... it was just plain awesome... Though I had cut down about 50g of the sugar, the cake tasted well because of the sweetness of the overripped bananas. My friend had also tried one and he said they were fabulous!!!

A very light, moist and dense cake is what I had gotten here...☆

So, what are you waiting for... Start now and eat a little healthy today...♡

Green Apple Cupcakes ○ So soft & crumbly ○

Another great bake from "Easy Bake! By 梁家榕"

I had been wanting to try this recipe for a while but I hadn't had any green apples in my fridge till today...:-p

As usual, a no-fuss recipe, yeilds about 3 standard size ramekins.

Instead of using plain flour with baking powder, I had replaced it with self-raising flour. 

I might reduced the sugar in future as I think it is a little sweet for me. 

A soft and crumbly Green Apple Cupcake is waiting for you.

I had sprinkled some cinnamon powder on top and it gave the cupcakes a very great fragrance...

Inside the cupcakes were filled with rum-soak diced apples.

And if could see the soft texture of these Green Apple Cupcakes.

Vivian, this is another recipe that you might like too:-)
