Kek Coklat Kukus (Steamed Moist chocolate cake)

Haaa....finally...dah terbuat ini malam after contemplating for few days. But dang it's worth it!
the cake is soft and not so sweet.For those yg suka manis, kena tambah sikit gula la..
but if it's up to me, i leave the sugar out, but put on some chocolate ganache or any choc topping.

how? the most easiest one involves 1 cup of condensed milk & 1 cup of cocoa powder or 250gm of chocolate blocks (cooking ka, cadbury ka, white ka, green ka, tuh ko punya pasal).

nak yang vast and proper lagi? carik la sendirik. There's a thing called Google?!.
but the best Ganache aku personally pernah buat :
2 cups whip cream,boil then put in 500g cooking choc and 1/8 cup golden syrup.

by the way, semua kat atas tuh kena masuk dalam pan and cook ok?
jgn ko oven kan plak.

ok, back to business.

Nih la recipenye. Dah ambik pix, takyah tulis :D

Pix neh sengaja aku "warmify" nak cover logo kat atas..

and nampak classic la konon..



by the way, pan tuh, 8 inch, bukan 2 inch.

Nih semua bahan yang patut dimasak. hodoh ek?

Maybe kek aku neh lembut jek sebab aku betul2 beat telur sampai kembang.

mcm buih sabun pun ada. kalau oya letak buih sabun pun, aku tatau.

hmm..HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Ok, aku slalu practise kan, walaupun gua superfine flour, mesti ayak.

supaya ringan gituu....

after dah campur semua bahan.

ingat, letak tepung sloooooooooooooowwwwwwwly and bit by bit.

motif? supaya tak berketul2 kaedahnya.

notice the aluminum foil?

ini kek mo steam. so, kena la cover.

 supaya takde gunung nuang, korbu, tahan, kinabalu kat kek tuh ha.

(x paham? lantakla.)

Hasilnya! Takde gunug tapi macam bulan.

maybe sebab resipi neh guna baking powder & soda bicarbonate atau

masa aku mix tepung & liquid ingredients, aku kureng slooooooooowwwwwww...

tp, kuat gak rasa baking powder & soda bicar. neh. ke neh rasa sabun ??

Oyaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

Bottomline, penghuni rumah kata sedap.

ok? belum lai letak ganache tuh..

by the way,pape cake pun, dgn kaedah apa pun, jgn terlebey sudaaaaaa..

neh dah moist, tp maybe akan lebih moist kalau aku tak telebey seam selama 15minits..hahahah..

hah, sila la makan.

The Drama Queen

No. Not me. A fellow SCASFT-ians mother dubbed Sofiya as Drama Queen.

Betul betul betul (sila baca dengan nada Upin & Ipin)

Why? At SCASFT, every Wednesday is a Physio day. Hence, the Cikgu and his assistants will usually carry on with the body warm-up first in the form which the kids will enjoy. 

Then, based on their observation and conclusion, each kid will proceed with their intended Physio activity. For Sofiya, it will be walking using the walker or rollater as highlighted in previous entry.

What will usually happen?

 Hence, the Drama Queen right?

So, i've tried other means to get her walking.

That my friend, inlcludes buying below Leap Frog Pretend & Learn Shopping Trolley.

So, if her mood permits, i will take her for a stroll.

 Patient. That's the keyword whenever Oya is involved.

In case you're wondering, she's 4 and can't walk & talk properly tet.

Why? she's special. She's a CP kid.

But i'm damn proud of her.

But yesterday, during the walking session, she fell down and got a small cut on her head.

Damn. Of course i feel guilty.

Hence, last night, i bake a personal favorite of mine.

Puding Roti @ Bread Pudding.With Whip Cream.

 

 It's filled with eggs, milk, whip cream. If you want the extra kick, use Butterscotch bread.

By breakfast, 1/2 the pudding has gone. Hope it survives at leats until tonight :-)

The Midnight Cake

Midnight.
2 hours ago i started liquidating the cheese and butter.
1 hour 34mins ago i started beating the egg whites.
1 hour 15 mins ago i started baking.

The egg-white was beaten to the peak.
The cheese mixture is ready via double-boil technique.

The cake tin and its' au-bain marie (waterbath) is ready.



..and into the tin the mixture went.

Voila! But dammnnnn! The Japanese Soft Cheesecake is indeed soft BUT it's soggy and did not rise to the height it was supposed to!!!
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Why?
1. My au-bain marie technique was not perfect.
Water leaked into the cake tin.
Water level to high or the aluminum foil bocor.

2. 20 mins into baking, i just realised that i put in COLD WATER!!! I was to put in HOT WATER into the waterbath..again...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

3. After realising the water was cold, without thinking, i took the tin out of the oven.
i wanted to change the cold water with hot water.

4. Maybe the egg white was over beaten.
It was supposed to be SOFT PEAK.
I think i did it until Stiff peak. arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!

The recipe can be found here and anywhere else in the cyberworld.
(Bunyi orang frust!)

2nd attempt: DEFINITELY will do it again. when???

Then, i was like, what the hell!! Leave it..it's done!!
