Rasmalai is an Indian dessert, and here I’ve adapted Melissa Clark’s recipe for Rasmalai Cake to make my version. It’s amazing how one bite of this cake will you feel like your are tucking into the richest, best ras malai you can ever find!
Moist Chocolate Cupcakes that are egg-less and stuffed with Ferrero Rocher. A dreamy Nutella Buttercream Frosting and topped with Ferrero Rocher too! You wouldn’t be wrong to call these Double Ferrero Rocher Cupcakes 😉 . Goriawala is a famous cake-maker in Mumbai, I won’t say that this chocolate cupcake is the same as their recipe, but tastes every bit as good as theirs :).
Eggless, No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream with swirls of ‘Strawberry Quick Jam’ –
My mind has been working overtime with flavour combinations for Diwali, and while I’ve been seeing a lot of gulab jamuns sneaking into cheesecakes, I have to admit, I’m a bit partial to my favourite motichoor ka ladoo! And since it is the season to be decadent I’ve decided to make a ‘mithai cupc
Just when I feel like I know all that there is to know about a sponge cake, I come across a recipe for this beautiful, light and airy sponge that doesn’t have any butter, oil, baking powder or soda! It relies completely on how well you whisk the egg and sugar together. It’s essentially just eggs,

Serve it with whipped cream, ice cream or just a dusting of icing sugar!
I can distinctly remember that it was my Mom who introduced me to cheesecakes around the time I was 13. On its own, that’s not earth-shattering, but what if I told you that my Mom worked just a few steps away from the fanciest cake and pastry shop that I knew of in the ‘90s? Today, Mumbai has some w
I’ve spent the last few months obsessing about drinks that will keep you refreshed without being overly loaded with sugar. This Cucumber Cooler and Pomegranate Soda were right up th
When it comes to Cherry Pie, I prefer using fresh and seasonal cherries and an all-butter crust made from scratch! The slightly tart cherries, turn syrupy and sweet, plus a flaky buttermilk crust…. have I got you drooling already? Plus, it’s an all-vegetarian pastry crust!
The arrival of the Jamun season announces itself with little purple stains on my car around the months of May – June. These berries that are native to India and are falsely translated as Indian blackberries, are packed with all the good stuff to lower your glycemic index, so it’s a tad bit ironic th
