22 Apr 20 (Wed) - Marble Butter Cupcake

My sis found this marble butter cupcake recipe by Kimiya Lim and told me to give it a try. The steps seem simple enough to follow so gave it a try.

Don't know why my bakes always rose and crack in the oven then sink after cool. Posted on the Facebook group "Home-cooked Delights 家常便饭" page to ask for advice and some members told me to try to lower the temperature and bake longer as well as to only fill 2/3 of the baking cup.

Shall give this recipe another try with the suggestions given.

20 Apr 20 (Mon) - Easy Jam Doughnut Muffin

Have been craving for doughnuts for a while now so googled for a simple recipe to try to satisfy my craving. Found this easy jam doughnut muffin recipe by Baking TaiTai and gave it a try. Didn't have any jam around but I have some chocolate chips so improvised as I go along.

Taste-wise, I should have increased the sugar level by a little given the lack of jam. Fortunately, I added chocolate chips, at least not too bland. The doughnut muffins are very crispy though. Hee...

10 Apr 20 (Fri) - Cotton Cheesecake

More time at home due to the circuit breaker so decided to use the time to try and do more baking to improve my skill. Found this cotton cheesecake recipe by Josephine's Recipes and gave it a try. Don't know why the top crack. Wonder if it was because the oven temperature was too high.

Fortunately, the cake still tasted good and soft. Happy!
