Everything at the Brisbane establishment Café Ô-mai is inexplicity, undeniably, unreasonably good. It’s been years since I’ve been there, due to not having been back in Brisbane for a while, but still I drool at the mere thought of the tamarind tang and lemongrass freshness of their claypot brekkie, the unfathomly favourful depths of their… Continue reading Mandarin coconut cake

Turkish yoghurt cake
If a cheesecake and a soufflé had a baby, this would be it. I’ve had this one on my radar for a while, and now kicking myself for not making it earlier. Super easy, fast to prepare, and so very tasty. Flavourings seem to be traditionally citrus, others have used vanilla but I fear that… Continue reading Turkish yoghurt cake
bananbröd

A little bit of research, mash up, and hopefulness, suggests that a base recipe aiming for the proportions: 3 cups dried… Continue reading Christmas pudding, take 1
Ginger molasses cake
Super simple, richly coloured, tasty ginger molasses cake. Oil in cakes make them lovely and moist, and who could be bothered with creaming butter and sugar. Otherwise the basics are in the ‘dry stuff’ and the ‘wet stuff’ lists, add whatever optional things you like. Easy to make vegan, either intentionally, or because you forgot… Continue reading Ginger molasses cake
