He was deeply affected by this. From my father I learned how to economize and be resourceful. For … Continue reading 81. Mini Red Velvet Cake
Day 65 of Corona Baking Mayonnaise replaces eggs and oil in this small batch baking. The portions were so small I felt like I was making an Easy Bake Oven cake. The cake tastes fudgy, very chocolatey, and a bit dry. Next time I’ll reduce the amount of chocolate and add a little coffee.

Day 31 of Corona Baking This recipe was written to be low-carb and keto friendly. Since the cake has no flour, it is especially delicate. My attempt, alas, is a semi-win. It rose, it tastes good, but the cake is underbaked. It’s supposed to be taller and jiggly when you shake it. Score one to … Continue reading 31. No-Flour Japanese sponge cheesecake
