Gondhoraj cake

Hello people!!!!! Wish you a Merry Christmas.. It's almost the end of 2015 and holidays are in full swing.. I am going for a trip to a local beach spot..for the Christmas weekend with my sister and boyfriend and his cousins and their girlfriends.. It will be a super crazy weekend.... Fish and booze will be all that we will live on for the next three days.... I love winter though to leave the warm cosy bed is a hell lot of struggle there are a few things that I adore about winter..warm sun, cool breeze, hot coffee, rum, blankets, sweaters, beanie, jaggery, cosy bed, cat cuddles, steamy hot rice with fiery coriander chutney, no baths(he he he he)and the most important cakes and brownies.
In my home cakes and brownies have a place of their own.... People go insane the minute anyone decides to bake.... Everybody is too excited when anything is being baked in my house. I feel so festive smelling the aroma of something baking. This aroma reminds me of my father baking traditional Christmas cake in a big big cake baking oven....the very old version of an electric oven.. one which only bakes cakes.. I used to jump up and down smelling the cake and awaited eagerly to cut into the hot hot cake though I never got a chance to do so as my mother was on guard always when the cake used to cool.. But now the story has changed....my sister has this naughty habit of cutting into hot cakes..... Never to wait for the cake to cool.... I stand on gaurd duty these days.. I have never made tradit...

Gingerbread Cake Gingerbread Cake
This cake is inspired by the amazing Chef John @foodwishes. This cake is moist, dense and fudgy. The only kinda cake which I would eat, as you should have known by now. I love the wonderful aroma of gingerbread spice, especially during final baking process. If I were to compare my previous pumpkin cake and this gingerbread cake, I would definitely go for gingerbread.What really got me is the hint of molasses aftertaste. It lingers at the back of my mouth for quite awhile which leaves me wanting for more. Pls do not use fresh grated ginger. It will overpower everything else (speaking from experience). Just use regular ground ginger. I also added a pinch of Chinese 5 spice for that oomph undertone flavor.I also decided to add a touch of lemon glaze to bring freshness to the cake. You can of cos serve the cake as it is, or you can go the extra mile and serve it with ice cream and tuile. Pls do not be intimidated by the look of it. It is actually fairly simple and easy. If all hell breaks loose, try again cos at the end of the day, it is just a kitchen fail down the bin. What you gain is experience, which is priceless. Okay, enuff of ranting and let's get started with the recipe. Daniel Lim -
Chocolate Truffle cake Chocolate Truffle cake
Made this cake for New Year's eve.NOTE : the measure of ingredients such as baking powder and baking soda are in terms of tsp, and cocoa powder in terms of tbsp. Use 4-5 drops of vanilla extract.You can also use a cake stencil for the garnishing.P.S.: I didn't have whipped cream so I used heavy cream and whipped it with powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
