Whole Wheat chocolate banana&chocolate chip cup cake


Oh my goooooooooddddd.... it's so yumminess.


I had ravenous, RAVENOUS Chocolate banana craving yesterday....


I tend to focus on healthier version of more sinful dishes. I used whole wheat flour instead of white


flour and i also cut down the sugar , i only use half a cup of brown sugar instead of one and a half.


If we gonna have a dessert, at least make it one that has some nutritional value.


And although this has nothing to do with nutrition, people will love you if you make these.


A moist, spice banana cupcake top with chocolate buttercream frosting is the perfect match. , I can tell


the frosting is so melt in your mouth .


I would said that these were my favorite cupcakes, and they are practically perfect and amazingness


delicious. Trust me pleaseeee.. You should try these.


In a 2 large bowl , slowly add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients until throughly combined. DO


NOT OVER MIX!!


I love chocolate chips , i add 2 cups of it... yum yummmm






It's delicious even you eat without buttercream frosting.




Enjoy!

Lovey Dovey Tiramisu






Happy Birthday to my lover !


I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend filled with family and friends. I know we certainly did.


Happy Birthday! I love birthday. Not just mine, pretty much any birthday i can be a part of.


I especially love those celebrated by my family and friends. Between myself, my family, my friends and


more, it seems there's a birthday every week. I love this all happy occasion, and excited making cake all


of my family and friends is one most happily fulfilling things possible. The most importantly , is that i


made the memories and nothing can take that away.




Tiramisu , I would say it's a layered, creamy dessert with a wonderful coffee flavor in the background.


This tiramisu is light, fluffy, creamy and divine. The cake is sprinkle with a layer of cocoa powder and


covered in a layer of chocolate shaving.


To take it over the top , i added lady finger around the heart shape edge and secured it up with a ribbon.



This tiramisu is an eggless version, I loved tiramisu when i ate at italian restaurant but the thought of


raw egg in it was a little putting...sorry.. I don't like the raw egg taste, and i decided to make it without


raw egg, it turned out great and fabulous.





Enjoy!
