Chiffon cake I tried making a chiffon cake in a pound cake pan again. This time, to make it easier to remove, I used parchment paper. The result was similar to when I greased the pan: the cake only rose to about half or two-thirds the height of the pan. The bottom had shrunk along with the parchment paper. It seems that allowing the cake to cling to the sides of the pan as it cools might prevent it from shrinking. […]
Steamed bread This time, I made steamed cheese bread. The finished product had a cheesy flavor. Since I used natural cheese instead of cream cheese, the cheese flavor wasn't as strong as in store-bought versions. […]
Steamed bread I made steamed bread with black beans and brown sugar powder. This time, I added 5g of black bean and brown sugar powder. The finished product had a dark appearance and a slight kinako (roasted soybean flour) flavor. I feel like if I add a little more powder, the flavor will become more pronounced. […]
Jelly Today, I tried making sparkling jelly using Lily's fruit mix. The finished product had a mild fizz, just a slight tingle, and a refreshing aftertaste. I added about 30g of sugar, but the jelly itself was subtly sweet. However, the sweetness of the fruit balanced it out nicely. […]
Pound cake Today, I tried making a pound cake using crushed Chocolate Kouka 86% as chocolate chips. The finished product was moderately sweet with a pleasant bitterness from the chocolate. The texture was moist and soft […]
Pound cake Today, I tried using light brown sugar in my black bean and brown sugar pound cake. The finished product was subtly sweet with a hint of kinako (roasted soybean flour) aroma. Perhaps thanks to the light brown sugar, it had a slightly richer flavor. As for the texture, perhaps because it shrank quite a bit, it was dense […]
Pound cake Today, I made a soy milk pound cake with raisins. When it was done, perhaps because I added too much soy milk, some parts were undercooked. The texture was a bit firm. I used less sugar, but the sweetness from the raisins made it just right. On the other hand, the raisins sank […]
Dishes Today, I tried making a savory cake with carrots, onions, komatsuna, and pork. The finished product had a somewhat Japanese flavor, perhaps due to the generous amount of soy sauce, and it was quite salty. It was a taste that made you want more rice. There was a lot of meat, making it very satisfying. The texture […]
Dishes Today, I tried making a savory cake with potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and pork. The finished product had a good salty flavor that would go well with rice. It was the least moist cake I've made so far, with a texture similar to a deli-style bread. Ja […]
Dishes Today, I tried making a savory cake with potatoes, carrots, onions, bell peppers, and sausages. The finished product has a light seasoning, which might be just right for eating on its own. It's not too moist and has a satisfying texture, so it's quite filling. […]
