White Chocolate Cake/Honey& Lemon Biscuits

"The Queen of Sheba", I guess that's the name of the chocolate cake my mother, who has been a hard drinker (and I definately am her daughter),who ordered one bottle of whisky on the first date with my father then her fiance,used to bake very often.She always brushed a lot of dark rum until the cake couldn't absorb anymore.
It is not suitable for kids I know but it is one of the cake that reminds me of my childhood.
This time I used white chocolate, used less alcohol(not rum but cognac),less sugar, less butter.


Honey&Lemon Biscuits with sour lemony icing.Perfect with black tea.

RED BEAN PASTE-Green Tea Chiffon Cake & Ichigo Daifuku

Matcha green tea Chiffon & Homemade Hokkaido Red Bean Paste & Green Tea w Whipped Cream

The Main thing of this plate is Red Bean Paste. I cooked Canadian red bean and Hokkaido "Dainagon"red bean usinga the same amount of water, sugar, same type of pot.
The difference of taste turned out so big that I decided to use the beans from Hokkaido.
It takes 2hrs to cook redbean but it's worth trying it
In fact, I cooked this red bean paste to teach ;Ichigo Daifuku-Red Bean and Strawberry Mochi
I must admit that our cuisine, especially desserts have no "wow"action, flavour, oh well,they are rather boring if you see how to cook and smell.
But yesterday, I saw "wow"impression on my student's face when he tried the first scoop of red bean paste.
That made me really happy because I always make the same face whenever I have homemade red bean paste.
