    Delicious Carrot Cake Cupcakes (Gluten Free)

    Looking for a GF Carrot Cake Cupcakes? Look no further! I must caution you, these cupcakes are SUPER addicting! They are so light and airy, and SOO moist. Honestly this is probably the most moist cupcake I’ve ever made in my life. I’ve tested this recipe 3 times, and each time has been fail-proof so I promise you these will be a success! And don’t even get me started on the cream cheese frosting- it is delicious! A secret I use? Lemon juice, I find that it adds that nice acidity to help balance out the sweetness and creaminess. Now consider yourselves warned ;).  Author: Cookingwithchow Course: Sweets Servings: 12…

    Black Sesame Foam Latte

    This black sesame foam latte will make you feel as if you are in the clouds! It is so light and airy, creamy, and delicious. Black Sesame is like the Asian equivalent to “cookies and cream” as it is such a popular flavour all over Asia. They have it in boba tea drinks, ice cream, soup desserts, and so much more! Growing up, black sesame was never my favourite flavour however as I’ve matured I’ve grown to appreciate the nutty and delicious flavour of it.  Author: Cookingwithchow Course: Drinks Servings: 1 Prep Time: 0 Cook Time: 0 Total Time: 5 INGREDIENTS 2 tbsp Black Sesame Powder (or finely grated black…

Almost everything here is a pantry staple so a perfect recipe during this quarantine time!

    The Ultimate Black Forest Cake

    Introducing the ultimate quarantine Black Forest Cake. This chocolate cake is incredibly moist, rich, and super delicious! In the past, chocolate cake was actually one of my least favourite cake flavours (crazy I know) as I typically found chocolate cakes really sweet.This chocolate cake recipe is super well-balanced with the most amazing texture, sweetness, and taste. After testing various recipes & finally perfecting one, I’ve made three cakes in the past 2 weeks (guilty). This Black Forest Cake is layered with chocolate cake, light cherry and strawberry jello, and then topped with some freshly whipped cream. I was inspired to include the jello layer as I was craving a T…

    Milk Tea Foam with Brown Sugar Boba

    Step aside Dalgona… this one is for the boba lovers & non-coffee drinkers (me). Brown sugar boba tea is a classic boba favourite which I love but I find myself feeling pretty guilty after drinking a whole one just because of how sweet it is! Thought I would combine brown sugar boba with milk tea foam to create this fun drink to have during this quarantine time! For this recipe you will need to purchase Instant Milk Tea- there are so many options you can choose from when visiting your local asian supermarket! My favourite brands are the Royal Milk Tea & the Lipton Gold Milk Tea. Hope you guys…

    Dalgona Coffee

    Dalgona Coffee is one trend I’ve been seeing all over TikTok & Instagram. It started out as a viral trend in South Korea- it’s called “dalgona coffee” as it resembles a popular Korean toffee. It’s so delicious & SUPER easy to make- it basically consists of 4 ingredients- coffee, sugar, water, and milk. Typically I’m not a huge fan of coffee as I like to stick to my teas & hot water (I’m a Grandma) but this recipe may have definitely converted me… hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
