hey riders!

i recently just got back from my doctor's appointment and i'm having quite a few health issues, i am getting old HAHA! not going into details but i was craving for cheesecake the other day, unfortunately cheesecake is one of the food that i have to avoid for my diet, then i saw the yogurt right next to cream cheese boxes, so i decided why not use the yogurt to make something? and i did! 😉

before making this cake, i want you to know that this cake is not your typical sugary cake, it contains half a cup of powdered sugar, you can absolutely add regular white sugar if you like, and or add sweetener such as stevia

i also squeezed an orange fruit but using an orange juice from a box will work just fine 🙂

ingredients:

• 3 tbsp warm water
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• pinch of salt
• extra flour for dusting

directions:

1. pre heat the oven to 350f
2. into a mixing bowl, add all wet ingredients then mix well
3. then add all dry ingredients and combine. set aside
4. sprinkle the prepared baking pan with a little bit of flour then add the batter into the pan
5. bake to pre heated oven for 35 minutes or until the toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean
6. enjoy!

COFFEE CRUMBLED CAKE - i was craving for something that will remind me of home today, so i decided to make this cake, it was surprisingly really good. it tastes a little like chiffon cake but in a dryer side, i didn't use egg whites or vegetable oil for this cake, so it was interesting how it tastes like a chiffon cake. please don't get disappointed about the "dryer" side of the cake because the topping is super delicious, too! now, if you are not a fan of a dry cake, then this is not for you. but i gotta say, the toppings compliments the cake. it's a great combination. i enjoyed pairing the cake with coffee, tea or even ice cream. it's super delicious!

i recommend using a bigger cake mold for this recipe, i honestly thought it will fit in my baking cake pan but as you can see, it overflowed, but that didn't took away the deliciousness of this cake. :)

ingredients:

for the cake:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups flour
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 stick softened butter (1/2 cup) softened

• 1/4 tsp salt

for the topping:

• 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp instant coffee
• 1 stick softened butter (1/2 cup)

directions:

1. pre heat the oven to 350F
2. spray the baking cake pan with a vegetable oil to prevent the cake from sticking
3. into the mixing bowl, add the butter, sugar and combine
4. then add the egg and mix using a hand mixer. you can also use a whisker too, it's your preference
5. then add the milk and combine
6. add the flour and mix. about a minute
7. add the baking powder, vanilla extract and salt. mix all together about a minute. the batter should be thicker
8. pour the cake batter into the prepared pan then flatten the top to even out. set aside
9. for the topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, instant coffee and butter into a mixing bowl
10. mix together until crumbly, but not over mixed
11. place the topping mixture on top of the cake batter
12. bake to 40 to 50 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean
13. enjoy!

happy baking!

hello riders! welcome!

brioche and cookie dough in one yummy bread? this is what we are going to make today. the first time i've tried this bread was when i had a stop over in narita airport in japan. since then, i started looking the recipes online so i can make it on my own. quite few things to note is that, if you don't mix enough your dough, there will be a tendency the bread would be really dense, and that's not how it's supposed to be, so be very careful playing with the dough. :)

there are so many recipes you can find online, but i would really appreciate if you try mine. :)

ingredients:

for the cookie dough

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

for the bread dough

• 1 cup warm milk (110-115F)
• 1 tbsp sugar (for the milk mixture)
• 2 tsp instant dry yeast
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 large egg
• powdered sugar to sprinkle the top

directions:

1. first, mix the cookie dough. add the softened butter into the bowl and cream until smooth
2. add the powdered sugar and combine
3. add the egg and mix
4. add the baking powder, mix
5. add all purpose flour and combine (sift the flour it will make a difference)
6. then add the vanilla extract, combine
7. move the cookie dough into the plastic wrap, wrap the cookie dough and refrigerate
8. for the bread dough. add the warm milk into a bowl, add the sugar and yeast and stir, let the yeast rise for at least 8 to 11 minutes
9. into a different mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, softened butter, salt, egg and the yeast mixture and combine
10. move the dough into a clean area and begin kneading the dough until smooth
11. shape the dough into a ball and move into an oiled mixing bowl
12. then let the dough rise until doubled in size, depending on the humidity, it could take up to 1.5 to 2 hours until the dough is ready
13. once the dough is ready, deflate the dough and move into a clean area
14. shape into a ball and divide the dough into 12 pieces
15. shape the dough into a ball and cover again to let it rise for another 20 minutes
16. meanwhile, take your cookie dough out of the fridge, and divide the cookie dough into 12 pieces
17. flatten the cookie dough into a round shape
18. at this point your bread dough should be ready
19. take the bread dough, and place the round shape flattened cookie dough on top of the bread dough
20. press the bottom carefully to seal
21. then gently score the dough into a crisscross pattern
22. once done, cover the bread and let the bread rest for another 20 minutes
23. set the oven temperature to 350F
24. bake the bread for 20 to 22 minutes rotating halfway through
25. and you are done!

enjoy this bread with a coffee!

xo,s

some useful tips:

if the dough is too sticky, add flour a tbsp at a time

if the dough is too hard, add few drops of water at a time

if the bread is too dense, you didn't knead the dough enough

*good luck*
