A medovik, topped with whipped mascarpone and burnt-honey honeycomb to add some crunch and balance the tangy-sweet flavours!

Crispy, spicy, hot, fresh from the oven. I can eat these every single day with a cup of coffee and not get bored.

I have experimented with a few basic fillings and they were so good! These puff pastry sheets are so versatile, you can fill them with anything and they turn out amazing.

Paneer + capsicum
Potato + peas
Boiled egg + onion
Cheese + corn
Mayonnaise + spinach

What other interesting filling have you tried? 🤔

Surprisingly good. Made it with Makhana Powder, protein powder, baking powder and soda and very lil Flour. I tried to go healthier. Open for recommendations to make a better and healthier version

I have a small cafe and km looking to make a chocolate topping for my waffles and pancakes.

Basically I need to make a chocolate sauce. Found this on the shelf and bought to try. However, it’s quite thick and doesn’t taste that great.

What do you guys recommend I use in a cafe? Need to use it as a chocolate topping for waffles and pancakes. Would it be better to temper coverture chocolate and make a sauce from that?

Turned out realllyyy good !

I recently came across this community and I found out many people are finding it difficult to bake a cake. I get it. It’s intimidating for a first timer. Thus, I am going to try and give you the easiest formula to make your first cake.

Disclaimer - most cakes are some variation of a pound cake, so let’s start with that one. A pound cake is a cake that weighs a pound - about half a kilo, 500g.

To make a pound cake you need these things.

200g butter
200g white sugar
200g eggs - which comes about 4 medium eggs. Room temperature.
125 mL milk, if using milk powder - 4tbsp milk powder and 125ml of warm water.
200g flour
1 tbsp of vanilla essence
1tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/4tsp of salt.

And to mix the batter, use a mixer.

Process - melt the butter in a microwave if you have one. Don’t fully melt it, 45s is enough. If doing in a pan, melt it for 5-6 minutes on low to medium heat. It should be softened or room temp butter otherwise.

Add butter and sugar with salt in the mixer and blend. There should not be any granular sugar left after blending.

Break the eggs individually into a small bowl and add one by one in the same mixer, DO NOT ADD EGGS DIRECTLY IN YOUR BATTER. Add vanilla essence and blend.

Sift your flour and add BP and BS. Put it in the mixer jar, add the milk, and blend. The milk actually hydrates the flour. All the flour should be mixed into the batter. If you dunk a spoon and lift it, the batter should be ribbon like and make an 8 on top of it.

This is your basic batter. If you want to make chocolate cake, replace 30g of batter with same amount of good quality cocoa powder. And always add 1/4tsp of any instant coffee powder in it. It brings out the chocolateyness of the cocoa powder. It’s a non negotiable.

PS - if you have some orange or lemon lying around, add about 1/2 tsp of the zest. It gives a beautiful flavor to your cake.

Now baking. Always grease the tin. If you are out of butter, use any neutral oil. It works great. Always, always, I mean always, you need a cartouche. Use baking paper. Cut as per the tin size and place it at the bottom. Pour in the batter and bake. You can add a few embellishment on top if you like. Bake for 40-50 minutes at 180C or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. If you are using a pressure cooker, put a plate underneath the baking dish, then cover WITHOUT THE WHISTLE. Cook for 35-50 minutes on low medium heat. Again use the toothpick method.

Always, I mean always, take the cake out once done, let it cool. Your cake needs to rest. It should feel coolish when you touch it.

Enjoy.

I followed this recipe and it turned out so good! recipe: https://shivangikooks.com/airfried-single-

This was my first attempt in making cookies in air fryer and I’m so going to try this again soon 🙌🏻

Made Chocolate Chip Banana muffin, I poured the leftover mix in a cake tin... realised that I can use this as a cake base in Choco truffle cake..

Hey guys, this post is specifically for dessert enthusiasts and chefs who plan to own a dessert store.

I have lived in Melbourne for my university years and been in India since the past 1.5 years.

I crave Mochi ice cream here but it’s almost non existent except at food outlets that sell pre-made frozen mochis that are not even the real deal. I ate mochi every other day in Melbourne and there were huge lines for it.

I really want to serve that here in Delhi and looking for a partner who knows more about food ( mochi or ice creams a plus) than me.
Let’s have a chat if you are interested to be a part! There would obviously be investment from both parties but the plan is to start small through pop ups at events. Cheers!

( Unfortunately lost daylight for the post baked pictures, so I’ll take some more tomorrow of the slices ! :) )

Now the mango season is in here so made this for our guests! Need to work more on the presentation but otherwise I am happy with the result 😄
