Sicilian Orange Cake

Sicilian Orange Cake

It’s the Father’s Day weekend and I am sure many of you will be celebrating the special day. I always think that Father’s Day is way underrated compared to Mother’s Day. I personally think that fathers give as much as mothers, if not more. They are out working, making a living to support the family, and when they come home,…

Mini Egg Cake (鸡蛋糕)

Mini Egg Cake (鸡蛋糕)

My friend CP is a fantastic baker. She always posts her beautiful baking recipes on Facebook. A few weeks ago, I asked her if she would be willing to share some of her recipes with the readers of Rasa Malaysia and she gladly said yes. I chose four baking recipes from her, which I will be posting in the next…

Strawberry Scones

Strawberry Scones

It’s strawberry season and every market you go, there are plenty of fresh, big, juicy, sweet, ripe strawberries on sale. In Irvine, there are still many strawberry farms around, and some of them are right off the roads. I was driving by one of the main roads in Irvine one early morning and saw the hardworking workers harvesting the strawberries….

Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies

Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies

I am thrilled to be a part of KitchenAid Cook for the Cure campaign to celebrate this year’s Mother’s Day, which falls on May 12th. More than a decade after introducing its first pink product to help raise funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, KitchenAid is celebrating a major milestone: more than $9 million raised to date through its…

Glazed Lemon-Ginger Scones

Glazed Lemon-Ginger Scones

First, I wanted to start by saying that these glazed lemon-ginger scones were really amazing and I had four of them right out of the oven, and the next morning, I ate more! Ginger has always been my favorite ingredient. I always have some ginger in my kitchen. In Asian cooking, especially Chinese, ginger is indispensable and used in many…

For Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore, and those who live overseas, this time of year means one thing: baking time for the upcoming Lunar New Year. As the year of Snake is just barely two weeks away, every household is busy prepping for the…

Butter Cake Recipe

Butter Cake Recipe

(This is the BEST butter cake recipe ever. Updated with new photos. Originally published in 2008.) Even though I am still a rookie in the baking department, I am slowly but surely getting the hang of things, especially baking cakes. I love baking cakes; I find it rather easy, well, if I choose a simple recipe. I especially enjoy baking cakes…

Banana Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

Banana Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

Holiday baking is probably over but I have yet another great baking recipe to share with you all—banana oatmeal raisin muffins. I have always loved banana nut muffins, and raisin butter cake, so this muffin is sort of combining all my favorite ingredients into one, with the addition of oatmeal for the extra fiber and nutrition. This muffin is rather…

Mini Quiches

Mini Quiches

Quiche is French pastry crust filled with  savory egg custard made with cheese, eggs, ham, meat or vegetables. My co-worker introduced me to quiche many years ago and I have been hooked on quiche since. Quiche is something that I can eat on a daily basis, with some salad, and preferably with a serving of French onion soup. I simply adore…

Pecan Sandies

Pecan Sandies

My holiday baking continues today with pecan sandies, one of the classic cookies for the holidays. Everyone loves buttery and crumbly cookies and these pecan sandies are made with finely chopped pecans, butter, and all-purpose flour and dusted with powdered sugar for extra sweetness. I have never made pecan sandies before so I referred to a cookie magazine I got…
