Cheesecake-brownies

Hi everyone!! Today I made a very spontaneous decision to bake at night! I love late night baking because it makes me really happy and it satisfies my cravings hahaha... But onto the cheesecake brownie: As usual, the smell of butter and chocolate wafted through the house as I did a happy dance, and I couldn't WAIT to get my hands on this block of goodness~~

Mmm, the recipe I used was from Smitten Kitchen. She takes such lovely photos :) 

All in all, the brownie was really nice. Not overpoweringly-sweet, and surprisingly light on the palette. I love cream cheese too, therefore the "cheesecake" aspect of it delighted me! Wonderful recipe which I will refer to again.

Milo Cake

So today I decided to bake a milo cake! It was great fun (partly due to the fact that I had countless opportunities to lick the milo powder off my hands when i was done), but mostly because the house smelt great and and it turned out well! I got the recipe from Raspberri Cupcakes, which is my ALL TIME favorite blog. She bakes such funky and interesting things, go check it out!

Anyway, in my opinion the best part of the cake was the chocolate ganache (I made my own) because I didn't have the pouring cream required by the recipe. However, the cake was also nice and not too sweet, which was good because the condensed milk icing made the cake just right/ sweet enough.

The cake before it was put into the oven...

Thanks for reading!

Dinner Rolls

Hi everyone! As I promised, here I present to you my most recent bake - dinner rolls. These rolls are so fluffy and taste even better than the buns you would find in supermarkets or bread delis! Also, when you bake them, your house smells wonderful :)

These buttery clouds of decadence really made my day. I had them with some Strawberry preserve and fresh strawberries - nothing like good 'ol jam! I got the recipe from Laura Vitale's website. You should really check out some of her other recipes, it'll be worth it! 

Enjoy,
