Mocha Cupcakes
Birthday coffee-chocolate cupcakes for the mom!
I am really please with this batch because everything came out well and consistent.
First time using ground almond in the batter and it really adds flavor and bite.
I polished off a couple once they were fresh out of the oven!
Splurging on good Cadbury dark chocolate was a good idea indeed too. I had a few squares left for some munching (not intentionally).
The whole lot was gone fast and the sister is asking for more already hehe.
These are so addictive that I think I should wait for a few more weeks before a second attempt.
I love biting off the crusty tops first and then work my way down. HA!
At least I don't have a touch a single oreo making these...

Matcha Oreo Muffins
I finally utilized the jar of matcha powder hidden in one corner of my baking supplies basket. Can't recall how much I threw into the mixture but the flavor came out right. So the matcha oreo muffins are a mixture of oreo crumbs, green tea flavor plus gooey chocolate chips. I must get my hands on some azuki next...
Plus, made some oreo muffins for my cousin who turns 16. I knew I mentioned no more oreo in the pantry again but he loves it and the sister managed to psycho me into making more again. If I were to touch one oreo sandwich within a month, I swear I will cry.

Milo Flourless Layer Cake
It's not that moi would rather stay at home and bum around but, I am still waiting for news for my temp job! Honestly, I am actually hoping it will come around slowly so that I can still enjoy sleeping in late but then... no work = no money = no flour! So, see how it goes la.
12 June is rolling in and my application form is not done yet! So nervous my nails are all bitten chipped already!
Meanwhile, I made this cake as requested by the mom. She is clearly addicted to at and I foresee this gone within the next two days. The cake is steamed but then I am thinking it is not any less sinful than baked muffins because the recipe called for quite an amount of gula and butter. Butter smells like dog poo but makes everything so delicious.
I actually made this on the 30th May before but was too occupied to blog about it.
I wish I have more pictures of the pretty pretty layers but then my 2mp camera phone is quite a let-down so till I get my hands on a better camera, make do!

Oreo-Nutella Muffins
In a desperate attempt in differentiating the oreo muffins that I have made SO MANY DAMN times previously, I dumped a dollop of good o' nutella in the middle of these beauties. Don't worry, I jojotee assured that the next time you see me bake, it will have nothing to do with the black and white sandwiches. No more oreo, dear sister! We should start making new things or else people will be bored. Nothing beats a little variety! 6-muffins itch? I better start making new ones or else you also stray. So I have collected recipes for stout muffins (hic!), carrot spice, cheese muffins... Now, just to make a trip to the mart and buy some more flour and sugar. Woohoo!
