My neighbour gave me 6 pkts of Coconut Milk and when I came across this recipe, I was elated. I was attracted to the colour of the cake and the taste of coconut in the cake was just wonderful. I was a little worried that I might not be able get the perfect texture after reading the comments that some failed. After cutting the cake, I was overwhelmed with joy, I have made it!

Orange Cake


My neighbour has 2 adorable kids and they love my bakes. My initial plan was to experiment on this cake on Sunday but when the 2 kids asked if there were cakes for them (on Friday night), my heart melted and so I decided to get up to bake this Orange Cake for them. I saw someone posted a Japanese Cotton Cheesecake with beautiful pattern on top, I was so eager to give it a try. I used Orange Cake instead of Japanese Cotton Cheesecake as I felt the pattern (I used melting chocolate) should not sink on heavy batter but part of it still sank. I have to further beautified it with melting chocolate after baked. 

After further discussion with my group of passion bakers, I have concluded that I should just add cocoa powder to some batter for the pattern and it should not sink. Will give it a try soon.

Old Fashion Pull Apart Buns

I came across this bread from Guai Shu Shu's blog and it seemed quite easy with all the clear pictures and directions. The only thing in bread making is to wait for proofing time and kneading it correctly to get the right texture. However, my bread turned out soft straight from the oven but less soft and no tear off texture when cooled down, not sure if it was due to cornflour that I have missed out. I will give it another try again.  

Ingredients

420g plain flour
6g instant yeast
20g corn flour 
50g sugar
50g butter
1.5 tsp salt
265g lukewarm fresh milk
Additional 20g melted butter for brushing

Directions

1. Lightly greased a 9 inches round baking tin (I used Square baking tin)
2. In a mixing bowl, mixed all the ingredients (except butter) together. Use a spoon to slightly stir it until it form a sticky dough. Use the dough hook (I used my mixer as I do not have dough hook) to beat the dough till it leave the side of mixing bowl. (I used my hand to form a dough)
3. Transfer the dough out to a lightly flour surface. Lightly knead for 1-2 mins and let it proof until it double in size. Cover the dough with some clean wrap.
4. After the first proofing, transfer the dough out and divided equally into 18 portions (each portion about 50g). Shape the dough into a round ball and arrange in the baking tin. Cover the tin and let it proof until double in size (about 40 mins).
5. When the dough is almost ready, pre-heat the oven to 180 deg C. Once it is ready, bake in the oven for 20 - 25 mins or when the aroma of the bread starts to permeates the house and top turn golden brown. 
6. While the buns are hot, brush with melted butter sparingly. Transfer out to a cooling rack. Cooled completely before serving.

* Note: I sprinkled white sugar on top of the proof dough before baking. 

Tapas Lunch



I was scratching my head what to cook for every Sunday lunch and when I came across some pictures of Tapas with various toppings, I knew I had the right stuff for lunch this Sunday. I bought country loaves, whipped up some egg mayo, cut hams and mozzarella cheese. I also baked some mushrooms with olive oil and seasoned with Garlic & Spices (stored bought). Not forgetting to have hot creamy chicken soup to add perfection to our Sunday Lunch.

Happy Mother's Day 2014

I was tasked to bake a Mother's Day cake for our Family dinner and I felt that Amercian Carrot Cake would be great for this occasion. On top of the regular 1 whole cake (which I felt will not be enough for a group of 20), I added these specially packed "Cake in a Cup" to complement it. Indeed, it turned out fantastic and everyone was astonished with the special creation. Thump ups for the yummy Carrot Cake and cream cheese combination. Felt great accomplishment with this task completed.
 
Wishing all mothers a Happy Mother's Day!

Souffle Japanese Cheesecake

I was attracted by this recipe with only 4 ingredients and so I gave it a shot. This recipe required egg separation and folding method, another training session for me too. 

The cake turned out nice without the top being deflated, the texture was indeed soft and smooth. I love this cheesecake and I will add more lemon juice the next time to have a more refreshing taste

Note : this cake is best eaten chilled.

120g white chocolate
3 cold eggs, 70g each
1.5 tbsp lemon juice & zest

Directions

1. Line baking tin with parchment paper at the bottom and grease the sides with butter, set aside. 
2. Separate the eggs. Place egg whites in the fridge which makes the meringue more stable.
3. Preheat oven 170 deg C.
4. Break white chocolate into pieces in a large bowl and melt in a double boiler over hot water. Mix chocolate to smooth. Then add cream cheese into it and stir till smooth with a hand whisk.
5. Remove the bowl from double boiler. Add egg yolks, mix well followed by lemon juice and zest, mix well again with a hand whisk. set aside.
6. Whisk egg whites with an electric mixer until firm peak form. If it's thick enough, you can turn the bowl upside down without it sliding out.
7. Add 1/3 meringue into the cream cheese batter and blend well with a rubber spatula. Then add the rest of the meringue and mix well.
8. Pour into baking pan and drop the pan lightly on the counter top to release the air bubbles out of the batter.

Pork Floss Cake

I always wanted to bake this Pork Floss Cake for a long time and I finally baked this cake today. I love pork floss alot and when my friend gave me a piece of her Pork Floss Cake, I found it so unique and yummy. 

I got this recipe which is a chocolate chiffon cake but I replaced the cocoa powder with cake flour and added Pork Floss. As I have added a large handful of pork floss, the cake did not rise as much. So I suggest to add just 50g of Pork Floss into the batter. You can add more on top of the cake after spreading a layer of mayonnaise, that should do the trick for Pork Floss lovers like me.

There is another tip that I would like to share. As I did not have any chiffon pan, so I used a normal baking pan. To note when using a normal pan, you do not need to cool the cake upside down. Once the cake leaves the side of the baking pan, use a knife to go round the side and remove pan. Cool cake completely before cutting.

Ingredients

(A)
80g cake flour
5 egg yolks
20g castor sugar
70g water
60g canola oil

(B)
5 egg whites
90g castor sugar
10g corn flour

(C) 50g Pork floss

Directions

1. Preheat oven 160 Deg C. Combine egg yolks and sugar and mix well. Add water and oil and mix till incorporated. Add in flour and blend well.
2. Combine sugar and corn flour. Beat egg whites till foamy. Gradually add half the sugar and cornflour and continue beating for a few minutes. Add the remaining sugar and corn flour and beat till stiff peak form.
3. Spoon out 1/3 of the meringue and gradually fold into the egg mixture, taking care not to deflate the egg whites too much. When it's well-blended, pour the mixture into the remaining meringue and fold in gently, making sure that all the egg whites are incorporated into the mixture. Add in Pork Floss and gently mix it.
4. Pour the batter into ungreased cake pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes before removing from the oven and turning it upside down to cool and serve.

Cottony Cake

When I came across this recipe, I was thinking that it looked quite simple and I can have another chance to practice my folding method again. Since I have all the ingredients readily, I gave it a shot. Though the cake did not rise as much as I expected it to be but overall the texture was soft with a nice color on top. The texture resembled those sold in Prima Deli with cheese, kaya and chocolate filings. I will try making it in cupcakes and with filling the next time.

Ingredients

(A)
3 egg yolks
1 whole egg
50g corn oil

(B)
50g Cake flour

(C)
3 egg whites

(D)
50g Caster sugar
Dash of salt

Directions

1. Beat (A) till well mixed with an egg beater.
2. Sift in (B), mix well.
3. Whisk (C) till frothy, add (D) and beat till stiff peaks.
4.Fold in the egg white mixture to egg yolk mixture in 3 additions, mix till well combined. Pour batter into baking pan.
5.Bake in preheated oven at 150 Deg C for about 40 mins.

Fun with Fondant

Today, I felt like playing with fondant so I did some simple heart designs to start with. I felt it was not that easy to handle fondant especially in my hot and humid kitchen. I needed to quickly rush out the design and then place them in  an air conditioner room. Guess that was the tricky part of designing cake with fondant. However, I felt it was a good experiment!

Old School Butter Cake

I have a strong craving for butter cake and with my last block of Lurpak, I decided to try this Old School Butter Cake recipe. Also, it was another chance for me to practice my folding method. 

Overall, it tasted nice but I felt that Lurpak was still not as buttery as SCS, so I will stick to SCS for my butter cake. However, this recipe was indeed less oily and since it used folding method, the cake had a much softer texture.


Ingredients

250g butter
85g Caster sugar
1 tsp Vanilla essence
1/8 tsp salt
4 egg yolks
1 tbsp Milk
200g plain flour
1 tsp Baking powder

4 egg whites
85g Caster sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven at 170 Deg C. Line a 8" Square tin
2. Cream butter, sugar, salt and vanilla until light and fluffy.
3. Add in egg yolk one at a time and beat till creamy. Add in milk and mix well.
4. Sift in flour and baking powder and mix well. Set aside.
5. Whisk egg white and sugar till soft peak in another bowl.
6. Fold 1/4 of egg white mixture into butter mixture (3). Mix well and fold in the rest.
7. Pour batter into lined baking pan and bake for 40-45 mins or until cooked.

Butter Cookies

Recently, my friend recommended me to try Lurpak Butter to make Danish Butter Cookies. The butter came with recipes for various kind of cookies and so I decided to give it a try. This is my first time making cookies dough into oblong rolls, just needed to cut into slices and bake it. Kind of interesting but I found the dough a little difficult to roll nicely. The final products did smell buttery but I felt it did not have the buttery taste as I wanted. Will try another Danish Butter Cookies recipe from my friend and see if it will taste more buttery.

250g Lurpak Butter
125g icing sugar
1 egg
350g plain flour

4. Bake the cookies in preheated oven at 200 deg C for 6-8 mins until golden.
5. Cool the cookies on a cooling rack and them store in airtight container.

Starting from the preparation for our trip to Taiwan (22-28 Nov 2013) and organizing Christmas Party for my company, all really kept me so excited and occupied. Indeed a good break and a fulfilling experience to complete the year 2013!

So you will get to see a numbers of updates on my bakes coming up!

Non-Bake Strawberry Jelly Cheesecake

I came across this recipe from Ikea magazine (by Felicia Khoo from Palate Sensations) and found the steps much easier than the one I used to make with no cooking of cream cheese and Nestle cream required. However, I felt the quantity of digestive biscuits used in this recipe a little too much so I will reduce it to 200g the next time I make it. The other thing to take note is that the Jelly mixture was too much even though I modified from 250g (original recipe) to 220g of hot and cold water. I have further reduce the water to 200g in this recipe.

As I used a round baking tin to do this cheesecake, I worried that I might have difficulty getting it out later, so I placed a baking paper across the base of tin and long enough for me to lift the cheesecake out.     

I like the texture of this cheesecake where the cream cheese does not taste creamy and you will not get sick of it after 2nd serving. I am glad that the kids love this cheesecakes as much as I do.  

Ingredients

200g digestive bisciuits
100g melted butter

1 block Philadephia cream cheese
50g sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

10g gelatine powder
1/2 cup hot water

1 box Strawberry Jello
200g boiling hot water
200g cold water

Directions

1.Crumble the biscuits and mix it together with the butter.
2.Press the mixture into a round tin to form the base.
3.Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla essence together until it becomes a smooth texture.
4.In a separate bowl, sprinkle the gelatine powder over the hot water and mix well.
5.Add it to cream cheese mixture and thin it down.
6.Pour mixture into the tin with biscuit base.
7.Chill the mixture in the fridge for a while and decorate with strawberries. Let it set for 3 hours.
8.Melt Jello powder in boiling water until dissolve and add in cold water. Use a large table spoon, gently pour over the cheese layer and set it in the fridge for another few hours.
