23 hours ago by chefdevagisanmugam It was 5.35 in the morning when I prepared the batter for banana cake. Caster sugar was replaced by grated palm sugar, vanilla extract replaced with ground cardamom and generous pinch of ginger powder. Mashed and sliced bananas and a generous helping of mix of coarsely chopped, roasted hazelnuts and walnuts were also added. As I sit here sipping tea and typing this, I can smell the warm smell emanating from the oven. #cake #banana #baked #bakedfromscratch #cakesofinstagram #coffee #onthetable #feedfeed #health #epicure #cheflife #teatime #instafollowers #cheflifestyle #chefs #healthy #gastronomy #huffposttaste #huffpostfood #devagisanmugam
2 days ago by chefdevagisanmugam CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES Makes: 36 cupcakes 450 g plain flour 600 g caster sugar 160 g unsweetened cocoa powder 17 g bicarbonate of soda 8 g baking powder 10 g salt 4 X 60 g large eggs (room temperature), beaten lightly 350 ml buttermilk 350 ml warm water + 15 g instant coffee mixed 125 ml vegetable oil 10 ml vanilla extract METHOD 1 Preheat oven to 180°. 2 Line cupcake pans with paper cases. I grease them lightly on the inside to prevent cake from sticking to the paper. This prevents chunk of cake sticking to the paper when you peel it off. 3 Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, bicarbonate
2 days ago by chefdevagisanmugam When you have more than half a dozen siblings and if you can bake, the most priceless gifts will be to give away home- made stuff each time you visit them. And so today I baked three Baker’s dozens of Chocolate Cupcakes. Icing will be piped at site as I forgot to buy boxes to carry them!! BTW it is the easiest cake recipe to do - place all ingredients together and beat for 2 minutes and then portion into cupcake pans and bake for 15 minutes. #coffee #onthetable #feedfeed #health #epicure #cheflife #baked #cupcakes #cakes #Deepavali #ediblegifts #instafollowers #cheflifestyle
5 months ago by chefdevagisanmugam I am stunned by the loss of one of my favourite Chef- Anthony Bourdain. For many years he was right in my living room on TV inspiring me with all his food tales! I can’t believe he committed suicide! There is no problem that cannot be solved and I wish people will think through before ending their lives so easily. People like him should live on and inspire more people! #rip #celebritychef #masterchef #nychef #loss #chefanthony #anthonybourdain #nytimes #theartofplating #restinpeace If you have suicidal tendencies or if you think someone needs help call Samaritans of Singapore 24-Hour Hotline-p 1800-221 4444
4 months ago by chefdevagisanmugam It has been a long time since I indulged in such a breakfast - Banana French Toast @pacamara_sg Oh my I became sugar laden within seconds of eating the visual feast of thick French toast, freshly sliced bananas, quartered strawberries,a dollop of mascarpone, timtam squares, crumbled Oreos, cornflakes, vanilla ice cream and the killer salted caramel drizzled on top of it all. I didn’t want to have a sweet death and so I scraped off all the excess thick caramel on the toast. I could have enjoyed every morsel if the Chef did not pour the caramel on the toast.
