my kitchen: EASY BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE
Easy Best Chocolate Cake
Makes 2x round 9 inch cake pans
Easy Best Chocolate cake
FOR THE CHOCOLATE CAKE:
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk or buttermilk, almond, or coconut milk
1/2 cup oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water + 1 teaspoon instant coffee
- Preheat oven to 176 C / 350º F
- Prepare two 9-inch cake pans by lining bottom with oven paper or buttering and lightly flouring.
- Add 2 cup flour, 2 cup sugar, 3/4 cup cocoa, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1.5 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp salt to a large bowl. Mix dry ingredients.
- Add 1 cup milk (I added a little lemon for buttermilk substitute), 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla to dry ingredients and mix together on medium speed until well combined.
- Slowly add 1 cup boiling water+ coffee on low speed until well combined. It will be runny/on the thin side, and that’s ok.
- Split cake batter evenly between the two lined round cake pans, or one large pan for sheet cake. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick or chopstick inserted in the center of the chocolate cake comes out clean. If you make cupcakes, check cupcakes around 20-25 min and scoop with ice cream scooper.
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

american/fusion: I strongly recommend POKEWORKS
You can pick a preset combo or build your own bowl, starting with rice/salad base (or noodles!), protein (2-3), mixins (5), dressing, toppings (4) and crunch (4). For this price point (NT$180-280+) you get a ton of selections and everything was very fresh, and it’s the combination of the components together that make it a legit poke bowl.
I love that there’s choices like baby scallop, masago, surumi crab salad, avocado, shredded nori and fried lotus root. Was super satisfied by my bowl and will def be back!

my kitchen: EASY MOCHI WAFFLES
Easy Mochi Waffles
Makes 4-6 waffles
EASY MOCHI WAFFLES
- 3/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup mochiko flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Preheat waffle iron.
2. In a medium mixing bowl add 3/4 cup milk, 1 egg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
3. Add 1 1/4 cup sweet glutinous rice flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk until just combined.
4. Add 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of the batter to the waffle iron. This will puff up a lot, so I recommend filling it less than half full to prevent overflow and make sure the edges get griddled. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
