Chiffon Cake (8-inch black sesame flavor)

Chiffon cake (also called "crazy cake" 😂) is a must-practice basic skill for cake beginners! Lay a solid foundation, and you can easily make all kinds of cakes in the future~ The key to its softness is to beat the egg white into a fine foam, and rely on air to support the fluffy volume of the cake. Add enough corn oil and eggs, the taste is soft and moist, and the texture is fluffy. No wonder it is a classic with super high popularity! This time, I specially added black sesame powder, which is fragrant for ten miles, and the fragrance is directly confusing 😋~

The diverse flavors intertwine and blend in your mouth, and every bite reveals the freshness of the ingredients. It's simple yet deeply satisfying, a beautiful and delicious meal, and a favorite breakfast for the cheese lovers in my family.

Sichuan Bacon Pistachio Carbonara

Dive into a bowl of creamy comfort with this Sichuan-style twist on the classic carbonara. Each forkful offers silky pasta enveloped in a rich, nutty sauce — subtly buttery and golden — thanks to the pistachio butter and egg-cheese emulsion. Crisp, smoky Sichuan bacon adds a deep savoury crunch and a hint of Sichuan character, while the scattered strands of Parmigiano Regiano melt into the sauce, stitching everything together with salty, aromatic cheese notes. The black pepper brings a gentle sharpness that cuts through the richness, making every bite balanced and satisfying. Light enough for a cosy dinner, yet indulgent enough to feel like a treat — this carbonara re-imagined brings a comforting warmth with a pinch of adventure.
