STEAMED COFFEE SPONGE CAKE

Seamed Coffee Sponge Cake

Ingredients For Steamed Coffee Sponge Cake

Instead of using black food colouring, I added in bamboo charcoal powder to some batter to create "black coloured" batter for decoration purposes.

Here is my Halloween version of the Steamed Coffee Sponge Cake whereby I piped the "black batter" to create some Halloween themed patterns before steaming. And if you are looking for more Halloween themed food, you can check out my recipes here.

ALMOND CHEESECAKE WITH BERRIES

Love this fragrance and luxury treat which is so smooth and yummy. Initially my plan was to make Almond and Longan Cheesecake instead of berries but on a second thoughts I still find berries will be more flavorful as well as eyes feast for the overall presentation.

Ingredients For Almond Cheesecakes with Berries

As you can see from the above, in order to enhance the colour and taste I topped the cheesecakes with melted 70% dark chocolate and roasted almond for that extra crunch and taste balancing. Lastly hope you will like these two recipes and happy mid-week everyone!
