Today I am making some Japanese Souffle Cheesecake. This is my favorite type of cake, it's so light, and fluffy compared to traditional types of cake. It's a little complicated, but once you do it a few times you will get the hang of it. These cakes are mostly made from eggs, and basically a souffle. The cream cheese and lemons in the recipe give a really nice flavor that doesn't overpower.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup [28 grams] of cake flour
6 eggs separated
1/4 cup [60 mL] milk
4 oz [115 grams] cream cheese
4 tablespoons [56 grams] butter
1/2 cup [100 grams] of granulated sugar separated in half
1 tablespoon lemon juice
some lemon zest
1 shake cream of tartar
bake at 315F [157C] for 1 hour 10 minutes
increase tempurature to 350F [176C] for 10 minutes
allow to cool for 1 hour.

![How to make a big mac - The trick to getting thin patties
So today I wanna make my own Big Mac because at home because as my cola video is a testament to I clearly have a problem with making things that I could easily buy. I do have to say this was a really fun project and it came out just as good if not better than the infamous burger. The burger tasted exactly like a McDonalds Big Mac, although in my opinion, the bun was even better. The secret sauce was spot on.

![Pfirsichkuchen - German Cast Iron Peach Cobbler
For a more detailed analysis, checkout the blog post:
https://www.flavorlab.xyz/recipes/peachcake
So after living in Germany for over half a decade, one of the dishes that kept popping up and over was pfirsichkuchen , which is a German peach ‘cake’, which is semi-bready and cooked with fresh peaches on top. This dish ubiquitous at holiday gatherings, and often served during someone’s birthday. Like most German desserts, it isn’t inherently sweet, but rather relies on the natural sweetness of the peaches.
Being that I grew up in the South, my version came out as a hybrid peach cake, which is a cross between pfirsichkuchen and traditional American peach cobbler. The result of this cross pollination was a success and it was enjoyed by all who tried it.
Ingredients:
6 ripe peaches
1/3 cup [70 grams] sugar
1 shake of salt
Spices of your choice
Batter:
1.5 cups [350 mL] of milk
1.5 cups [350 mL] of flour
1 stick [115 grams] of butter for the pan Pfirsichkuchen - German Cast Iron Peach Cobbler](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ryOKGia7G-Y/mqdefault.jpg)

![can you make ketchup from scratch?
Have you ever wondered how to make ketchup?
Let’s make some.
It’s actually surprisingly easy. I have seen some of the recipes out there call for it to be cooked for over 8 hours in a slow cooker, which I tested and turns out not to really be necessary. The ketchup I was able to make, not only had the right taste but due to a special ingredient we will add at the end, it also had the same texture as Heinz ketchup.
