Yuu's Food Diary

I've been tried to make microwave cake a lot when I feel to eat one. But most of the time, I just go with my gut and opt-out of the measuring thing. Of course, nearly 98% came out the either dense or chewy texture.  Then one day, I saw a Youtube video and I follow the recipe. To be honest, it came out good but the texture is just not what I prefer, it like kinda too moist for me. So by using the recipe given, I try to change the recipe a little by little, and finally, I come out with a recipe where it meets my desire preference. It is a Chocolate cake but tries not to do much change because I have tried to change the liquid to either banana or yogurt but it didn't come out with a cakey texture but rather a chewy texture. Of course, if you want to experiment go for it. It will be better to test out and experiment with yourself to meet your desired preference(like me). Below is the recipe with no egg microwave chocolate cake. Ingredients: Square Glassware 11.5cmX11.5cmX5.5cm  Pa...

My mom bought 2 mangos today and it was way too ripe. Before she tried to cut it and eat, I quickly stop her because I said I want to make a mango cake today. The first comes to my mind is that non-bake mango cheesecake but I always mess up with the gelatin part, it always come out soupy and not solid. Ban that idea, then come to the second idea. There it is, the mango Hokkaido cheesecake. Little complicated steps but the result reward you.  Ingredients: Chiffon cake 4 egg yolks (M size) (room temp) 10g granulated sugar 40g corn oil 45g mango puree 30ml evaporated milk/ regular milk (room temp) 80g cake flour 10g corn starch 4 egg whites  40g granulated sugar Cream  (failed) 35g cream cheese (room temp) 3tbsp mango puree 100ml whipping cream 1tbsp condensed milk Mango sauce 4tbsp mango puree 2tsp lime juice 2tsp sugar 1tsp water 1/2tsp  corn starch  Some mango cubes  Steps: 1.
