Chocolate Chip Cookies

Another bake to finish up my stash of ingredients..... chocolate chip cookies, in search of the taste mimicking Famous Amos-style. This time the recipe is from a baking group on Facebook. Recipe from http://bakingscorner.blogspot.sg/2014/10/famous-amos-cookies-by-esther-chong.html.

I reduced the sugar to 150g(total), but it still turned out too sweet for my liking. And I'm not sure if it is because I didn't let the butters thaw sufficiently, the dough spread more than I expected. It was a bit tiring to spoon the dough on the tray teaspoon-by-teaspoon, but the final product size was just nice (bite-sized).


Fat die meeeeeeeeeeee......

Chocolate Lover's Angel Food Cake (14 April 2015)

Chocolate Angel Food Cake (recipe from "The Cake Bible" by Rose Levy Beranbaum)

First time making angel food cake (which doesn't contain oil/butter/egg yolks). I wanted to use leftover egg whites from previous bakes.

Taste Test: I found it too sweet despite choosing a chocolate recipe in a bid to temper the sweetness level.

Appearance: The height was not as desired (it was supposed to rise above the cake tin while baking, but mine didn't), but still rose a decent 4 inches. And despite letting the cake cool down in the tin upside-down until it was completely cool, I still found some moistness/condensation at the bottom of the cake (which is the top in this picture). Not sure if it was the cocoa powder used, or because I was trying not to fold in too much/too long, the appearance of the cake is speckled. Guess I need more practice...
