Plum and Coffee Cake.

So these days I’ve not been so ‘Me’ if that makes any sense. I don’t know, but this blog is my way of connecting to everyone who encourages me and supports me. So I guess I can share things with you guys, I think we all go through weird mood swings or phases in life,…

Chai Spiced Cupcakes with Tri-coloured frosting. (Independence Day Special!)

Chai. I know, I guess all Indians have a special connection with this drink. Sure, the English have their Earl Grey, but our special Masala Chai has some magic that nothing can replace. The fragrance of ground cardamom and cloves and ginger, oh I cannot describe how much I adore it. I like my chai…

‘Healthier’ Cinnamon Rolls

If you don’t like Cinnamon Rolls, we can’t be friends. I mean seriously, can you even resist the smell of freshly baked Cinnamon Rolls? I know I can’t, infact no one in our home can! It’s like the best kind of smell after may be the smell of freshly baked Brownies. No wait. I guess…..

Pear and Cream Cheese Bundt Cake.

Bundt cakes are so beautiful. I love photographing them and of course eating them! I have the most fun when I get to style bundt cakes, also when I have to buy bundt pans it’s just very hard to resist the urge to buy all the variants. There are so many beautiful designs and sizes…

4-Ingredient Energy (Brownie) Bites!

I know the healthy eating rage is here to stay, and I’m all in for it. I have been having this aversion to processed food for the past few months and I’ve been turning to whole foods, fruits etc. So I was reading a lot about healthy home made snacks and treats that aren’t so…

Plum and Blackberry Galette. (Vegan options)

Pastry making is almost like therapy. It is so satisfying and calming, it’s my form of meditation. I really like the way just a few basic ingredients flour, butter and water can be used in so many ways, it’s magic! Also the fact that it always looks beautiful no matter how imperfect we may think…

Chocolate-Chocolate cake!

“Chocolate is the Beyoncé of the food world” – Anjali Johny Yes I am the one who came up with that quote. I think most of us will agree that it is on point! I can have chocolate any time, any day. I’m a dark chocolate person, I almost never even touch milk or white…

Flan Cheesecake.

The first time I heard the word “Flan” was in the TV Show Friends, and since then, the Monica Geller in me wanted to make it. Of course, I looked it up and saw how it’s made and I’d be lying if I said I thought it was easy. Although, when I actually made this,…

Pear and Cardamom cake.

India is the land of spices! My roots belong to south India where perhaps you’ll find almost every spice. The best part is, most of the spices we have and use at home is cultivated at our home in Kerala. Hence, top quality and pure flavour! Cardamom has an almost floral fragrance and it imparts…

Lemon and Peach layer cake.

I made this cake a while ago and it screams Summer! I had to share it. It’s a pretty easy cake to put together, uses ingredients that you might already have in your pantry and doesn’t really involve a lot of steps. Instead of making a lemon flavoured cake batter, I made a Vanilla sponge…

Upside down Cherry and Coconut cake.

Cherries are one of the most versatile and photogenic fruits. I’ve always loved them and now that I bake, I love using this gorgeous fruit in a lot of baked goods. Recently I saw a lot of posts on Instagram about upside down cherry cakes and I knew I had to make my own version…

Chocolate and Ginger Roulade.

Roulade or Swiss Roll, both mean the same to me and it has been one of those intimidating things which I would always put off because it seemed really tough. But well as part of my collaboration with Sprig, I decided to give it a go! Believe me it is not as hard as it…
