Moist Cucumber Cake
I wanted to use up some cucumbers.
You can make this easily by just mixing everything up in a blender except for the meringue. Don't add all the flour at once, or it will go flying all over the place. If it won't mix in well in the blender, transfer the contents to a boil and mix with a whisk. You can use vanilla essence instead of lemon juice I think. You can omit the ama-natto if you like. Let the cake rest for more than a day before eating it. Recipe by Anko

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel the cucumber roughly (it's okay if there are some bits of skin left on), slice and microwave for 3 minutes.
- 2
Put the cucumber in a blender and blend! When it turns into a juice, leave it to cool.
- 3
Add the egg yolks, honey, lemon juice and oil to the blender, and blend! When everything is mixed together well, add the sifted ★ ingredients in 2 or 3 batches, blending between additions. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- 4
Beat the egg whites. Add the sugar in 3 batches, and whip it until it becomes a meringue with stiff peaks.
- 5
Add the meringue to the mixture from Step 3 in 2 batches, folding it in with a spatula each time.
- 6
Pour the batter into a paper-lined cake pan. Add some of the batter, ama-natto, batter, amanatto, batter in that order. In the photo the ama-natto are on top, but they should be in the middle.
- 7
Bake in a pre-heated 180°C oven for 60 minutes. If a bamboo skewer stuck in the middle comes out clean, it's done (if it looks like the top is getting burned while baking, cover it with aluminum foil.)
- 8
Take the cake out of the pan, and when it has cooled down a bit cover with plastic wrap until completely cooled. It definitely tastes a lot better after being rested for a day, so please be patient. This is how it looks just out of the oven.

I tried making it with 200 g of pancake mix instead of cake flour. For this version I added vanilla essence instead of lemon juice. It had a different, fluffy texture. It tasted different too. It was delicious eaten the same day it was baked.

Weight the sugar as you add it, and stir round and round. Doing it like this means that you can weigh the ingredients while mixing, and save time. Recipe by chikappe

Moist Carrot Cake Moist Carrot Cake
Last year, I received some sweet and delicious carrots as a gift. I was wondering if I could bake something with them. I still had the notes from when I was experimenting, so this recipe is a revised version of my original. This recipe was inspired by one I saw in a magazine – I thought it was so cute. And since I already had carrots and lemons, I gave this a go.If you don't have heavy cream, substitute with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil instead. You can also use maple syrup instead of honey, add spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger or even raisins or caraway seeds. Recipe by Sabumochi -

Moist Oil-free Yogurt Cake Moist Oil-free Yogurt Cake
I made the "Moist! Yogurt Cake"into a low-calorie version.After cracking the egg, put the bowl on a kitchen scale. Weigh in the yogurt, then stir round and round. Repeat with the sugar. If you set the switch on the scale with each addition until Step 5, you can easily add the proper amounts. The batter is a little runny, so it's probably best not to use a pan that might leak at the bottom. Recipe by chikappe -
Moist Cocoa Roll Cake Moist Cocoa Roll Cake
I wanted to eat a rich roll cake that would melt in your mouth. I experimented several times and finally came up with this recipe.This sponge cake has cocoa powder inside, so it loses its airy texture very easily. So mix the batter as quick as possible after you add the cocoa powder. However, if you don't mix enough after you add the milk, the sponge will be too fluffy and crack when you roll it. Make sure to put two layers of parchment paper in the baking tray. Recipe by tai51 -
