Carrot Cupcakes

 Carrot   Cupcakes Everyone seems to love Carrot Cake,  what I also like about them is how wonderfully moist they are and how flavorful they taste. I love this Carrot Cupcake recipe because it's so easy to make. No mixer is required. The time consuming part is the grating of the fresh carrots. I have included applesauce in the cupcake batter which, along with the oil, makes these cupcakes so moist. But, if you like, you could use an equal amount of grated apple or even crushed pineapple. You can also add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of currants or raisins to the batter. Carrot Cakes became popular with the health food craze of the 1970s. There are many theories on the origin of this cake, some say it descended from the English's baked carrot puddings or European steamed carrot puddings. Others say it may have come from German carrot breads. Carrots were used in European sweet cakes since the Middle Ages when other sweeteners were hard to find or just too expensive. In fact, carr...

Godhi Halbai - (KARNATAKA FOODS)

Godhi Halbai

Halbai is a traditional Karnataka-style sweet recipe that is mainly prepared during the festive seasons or other celebrations. The halbai is generally prepared with just rice as the main ingredient. However, in this recipe, I have tried with broken wheat to give it a nice uniqueness.


Though making this traditional sweet requires only a few ingredients, but its considered a quiet tedious process. If the ingredients are not as per proportion / right consistency is not achieved they turn sticky. I don’t feel they are very tough to make but the only boring thing is you need to constantly keep on stirring them .It calls for your undivided attention.


 As the mixture thickens, it gets harder to stir. But trust me the end result would be great . Don’t go by its appearance.. Halbai is not at all a colorful dish.. nor photogenic 🙂 … I’ve tried to add some color to the dish by making the background colorful.

Majestic and Moist New Year's Honey Cake - N'0ven Bake at Pressure Cooker.

Majestic and Moist New Year's Honey Cake - N'0ven Bake at Pressure Cooker. Jews eat honey cake on Rosh Hashanah, AKA Jewish New Year, as a symbol of hope for a sweet year to come. This one is deliciously moist with an alluringly crisp edge. I like a New Year's honey cake to be extra moist and sweet, as good on the day of baking as it is days later. This one is queen of the realm—rich, in a word, majestic in taste and stature. One day when my Daughter said she wants to try this cake, she declared, “I’m going to make a honey cake!” I don’t know if she even knew Ingredients, but she does love honey, and I love her, so we started to bake this cake as New Year Fun. This morning I learned inadvertently that honey cake, paired with a cup of coffee, makes a great breakfast.   check out my other cake:  N'Oven- PLUM CAKE (traditional Christmas cake) -RUM PLUM CAKE- Pressure cooker Warm spiced plum muffins recipe-N'OVEN Muffins (pressure cooker) German...
