Oreo Salted Cream Cake (Roll)

This Oreo salted cream chocolate roll is a perfect surprise for your taste buds! The rich aroma of Valrhona chocolate permeates the entire cake base, with a dense and moist texture, each bite both satisfying and delicate. The Oreo salted cream in the center is the soul of the cake; the savory cream coats the crunchy cookie crumbs, creating a perfectly balanced sweet and salty flavor—a true delicacy for everyone. The ease of making this cake roll is a major plus. It only takes 20 minutes to bake, significantly faster than the often hour-long baking time of other cakes. Moreover, this salted cream recipe is incredibly simple, virtually foolproof, and a guaranteed delicious treat that everyone who tries it will adore.

Steamed buns that look like radiant skin

The recipe is very simple. The dough is kneaded to have a translucent texture like watery skin. After steaming, it will rebound quickly when pinched. It is chewy enough to pull out threads when bitten. The wheat aroma becomes stronger and stronger in the mouth. Don't worry if you don't have a watery face. Take a bite of this "reflective" chewy steamed bun. Who would want those "puffy" steamed buns that are supported by additives~ 😆

Super Soft Cheese Sausage Buns (Cream Version)

I love making high-hydration doughs, especially for bread—they turn out as soft as little lambs. (I used 625g of flour to make 14 buns.) The aroma while baking is impossible to hide; neighbors often come knocking to ask when the bread will be ready. (Next time, I’ll try a butter version.) I prefer savory bread, so I use less sugar and a bit more salt.

walnut, sesame, peanut brocade rolls (packets)

The filling blends the rich, mellow aroma of black sesame powder, the crunchy grains of peanuts and walnuts, and the gentle sweetness of milk powder. The multifaceted flavors intertwine, each bite offering a nutty crunch and the richness of sesame, a sweet yet non-cloying experience. The dough is also infused with black sesame powder. After steaming, the aroma of wheat permeates the air, mingling with the scorched aroma of sesame. The soft dough envelops the generous filling. One bite is filled with a soft exterior and fragrant interior. The richness of sesame, the crunch of nuts, and the aroma of milk are a comforting blend from nose to taste. It's a perfect fusion of traditional pastry and nutty flavors, incredibly delicious. By the time I realized it, my stomach was already swollen. The sight of the scale instantly sobered me up—but then I thought, trading three sweet, soft sesame and nut snacks for a solid meal is a real bargain! After all, the dough is so chewy and the filling is so flavorful, it would be a shame not to eat enough.

Cocoa (Chocolate) Cake Without Defoaming

No one can resist the temptation of chocolate cake, especially this Valrhona chocolate cake, which is irresistible. However, cocoa cake is a "baking nightmare" for many people - the two hurdles of fat and consistency alone are enough to make countless people shy away from this kind of cake that is easily "defeated". The cocoa butter it contains is like a "time bomb", which will disintegrate the bubbles in the meringue if you are not careful; and after the cocoa powder absorbs enough water, the batter becomes thick and sticky. If you use a little force when stirring, the meringue that has been whipped with great difficulty may lose its bubbles and collapse. If you want to bake a fluffy cocoa cake that does not shrink, the following method can make it easy for you to control it~
