Devil's Food Cupcake with Chocolate Frosting ~恶魔巧克力乳霜杯子蛋糕

My youngest: Mum: I love chocolate cake?
Mum: I love chocolate cake too!
My second: I super love chocolate cake,mum!
My eldest: i super duper, double love chocolate cake, mum!
Dad: I am the chocolate Devil, these are all my chocolate cupcakes!!!
All of us: LOL....

I am supposed to post and link this to Bake Along but something turn up the day before the link code close. My hubby twisted his ankle, it swollen so big and  and i was so panic till i totally forgotten about almost everything. Thank God his ankle is recovery now.  

Back to this Devil's Food Cupcake. this is definitely a keeper. The cake is moist, chocolaty and i love the fine crumbs. The frosting pairs so well with the cupcake. I don't have sour cream on hand, i substitute with Greek plain yogurt instead. The result is still very good!!

This is a very chocolaty and moist Devil's food cupcake.
惡魔蛋糕是有豐富巧克力的蛋糕。天使蛋糕就比较清淡柔软。
惡魔蛋糕是和天使蛋糕相对的。
兩種蛋糕類型是非常不同,惡魔蛋糕除了用巧克力外,並且用較少的蛋。
天使蛋糕就用较多的蛋,但是只是蛋白。


The chocolate frosting is simply wonderful !

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
