Yogurt Cheesecake Recipe (Tested with picture)










I use plain yogurt instead of heavy cream which normally used in cheesecake. I have cut down half on sugar with just a touch of sweetness. It came out light and creamy, very delicious.

Ingredients:
1) 250g digestive biscuits
2) 2oz butter
3) 14oz cream cheese
4) ΒΌ cup sugar
5) 2 eggs
6) 1 cup plain yogurt
7) grated lemon rind

Blend digestive biscuits until fine, mix with butter and then press the crumbs on to baking dish firmly. Cream the cream cheese into mixer, add sugar and then eggs one at a time. Pour yogurt and then lemon rind until mixed. Pour batter on top of the crumbs. Bake in preheated oven at 160c for about 40 minutes. Let it cooled before cutting it into squares.
Enjoy!

Butter Cake Recipe (Tested with picture)










Recently I found out that flour contains bleaching agent and is very disturbing to know. Today I baked this pound cake using unbleached organic flour and it came out moist with fine texture as well. Usually I put butter and sugar together to cream with mixer but this time I creamed butter first for 2 minutes and then slowly add in sugar. It came out firm and without any bubbles. You may also add in fine grated orange zest before adding in eggs to give citrus taste in cake.

Ingredients:
1) 1 1/4 cup unbleached flour
2) 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3) 1/2 tsp salt
4) 1/2 cup sugar
5) 6 oz butter in room temp.
6) 1 egg and 1 egg yolk
7) 12 tbsp fresh milk

Shift ingredients 1-3 in a mixing bowl. Cream butter in mixer for 2 minutes medium speed, slowly add in sugar and then eggs. Turn mixer to low speed and slowly add in flour mixture and alternate by adding milk until all mixed. Pour batter into greased tray. Bake in preheated oven at 190c for about 20 mins, lower to 170c for another 20 mins.
