Strawberry Coffee Cake | Eggless Baking


Strawberries may seem like an odd choice in a baked product, but they actually taste really yummy enveloped in a sweet batter cake. They cook and become incredibly soft and jammy. You almost feel like you are eating a jam cake with all the best flavors surrounding it - vanilla, cinnamon, strawberry. The crunch of the cinnamon sugar adds a wonderful texture to the finished product. There are two ways (well, so many actually!!) to enjoy this cake. The first is warm with a good vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of strawberry syrup. The second is with warm fresh vanilla custard. Yumm!!

Burger Buns | Burger Rolls | Eggless Baking

Baking at home is always a game changer. Once you learn how to handle yeast, the entire world of bread opens up - you are literally ready to bake breads of the world! Of course there is more to baking bread than understanding yeast. A lot has to do with the different kinds of grains, flours, liquids, nuts, seeds, seasonings, and oil that go into the bread. Dough preparation process, baking times and baking temperatures also play a significant role in getting to that delicious loaf of bread at home.

Whenever I bake bread and share my recipes, I receive many queries on the above topics. Queries on bread baking terminology, substitutes, troubleshooting also abound. I plan over time do primers on each of these topics and create a section here that will become a go to for these concerns. For today however I have recipe that is much overdue. I have baked these Burger Rolls several times in the past few months and each time I have been delighted with the result. I hope you will try this recipe and share with friends too.
