So excited to tell you all that I’ve worked on a little e-book to give you some fun end-of-year baking ideas! This book has five recipes that are all eggless, made with chocolate and festive ingredients like rum, caramel and orange. But I promise they’re the kind of recipes you can make all year round…

Coffee Mascarpone Cake
Happy Monday! It really is a happy one all thanks to this miracle of a cake. It’s got lots of coffee, it’s unbelievably moist and is topped off with a creamy mascarpone frosting, dusted with cocoa powder. It’s a great way to wake up. An old post that’s gotten an update and I’m so pleased…
Chocolate Cream Cheese Pound Cake
On a complete whim, I tinkered with this insanely good pound cake that soooo many of you have made and it turns out, a chocolate version of the same thing is just as irresistible. With melted chocolate and cocoa, it’s perfectly chocolatey, great with coffee and remains soft and light for a few days. Let’s…
Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
Think of this as a cinnamon roll in the form of the cutest mini, pull-apart slices! They are soft and tender, not super sweet and make GREAT companions to coffee, trust me. Also, very fun to make and really easy. Let’s bake some bread!
Rawa Coconut Laddoos
These rawa (semolina) laddoos are among my favourite Diwali sweets, second only to besan laddoos! They are soft, moist, coconut-y and beautifully saffron cardamom flavoured. I will admit my Mom did most of the work here and I’ve hopefully learned something along the way about this family favourite recipe! Let’s make some Diwali laddoos 🙂
Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake
I’m so happy to present version number of three of my all-time favourite cake! It’s rich, moist and dense more in its intense chocolatey flavour, than in texture. I feel like every time I bake it, I have more notes to make and more changes that improve it even more. This revision was so that…
Apple Ginger Biscuit Crumble
There are few things easier to make and more comforting to eat than apple crumble. With barely any work, this warm, spiced, fruity, toasty, crunchy dessert is ready and all it needs is a scoop of melty ice cream to go with it. This particular version has the addition of ginger biscuits which add tons…
Chocolate Beetroot Cake
Say hello to one of the richest, moistest, most delicious chocolate cakes you’ll ever eat. With cooked and pureed beetroot, this cake is gooey and fudgy but does not taste like beetroot. It’s the miracle ingredient that gives the cake its magical texture and you’ll be sold on the first bite, I promise. And because…
Lemon Pie
The last time I made this pie was maybe 6 years ago and I feel like it was only marginally less dramatic this time. Why I choose to bake pies in Mumbai’s sweltering October heat is anyone’s guess, but at least this time, I didn’t need my husband and sister to help me roll out…
