White Chocolate & Matcha Marbled Cake

We have been hording loads of stuff that we have stashed away in our larder and amongst the treasures is this huge pack of powdered matcha that has nearly been forgotten.

When I saw this recipe from La Tartine Gourmande, I knew it was a worthy project for my prized matcha powder.

This is possibly the best cake I have ever baked, light in taste and ideal with tea. it's fairly easy to do, with the exception of the white chocolate which is quite a b*tch to melt (because of the high cocoa fat content). Please use good quality chocolates* as the el-cheapo version from your common super market shelves just don't cut it, as I have found out for myself.

Recently just found a similar recipe (http://blog.livedoor.jp/pain_au_chocolat/archives/6471025.html) that uses yoghurt ... Will be trying this out soon.

(*reminder to self to use Valrhona next time)

这里也有Pulau... more

Yew Chuan Claypot Rice

I love claypot rice, even as a child. Claypot rice has a special 'spell' over me because I love to munch on the dried, crunchy layer of burnt rice that sticks onto the base of the claypot. Claypot rice that doesn't come with this crunchy layer of... more
