Long time no see: Green Tea Muffin!!

Just browse through previous batches of Green Tea Muffin I have made.. Somehow, this batch seems to be more brown than Green! Probably 'cos I have used a different Green Tea Powder compare to previous ones. Anyway, taste as good! Hope they will be well received tmr in my office!

Hello Kitty Birthday Cake

I have a request to make Hello Kitty Birthday Cake 2 wks ago from a 5 yr old girl. This is what I have come out with.

I had a hard time baking the cake as the silicon mold is very deep and I have no idea if I should reduce or increase the temperature, recipe state 175degree and 20 mins for 8" (I have converted to 7")

This result in the imperfect in this cake.


See the blotted behind the head!
Another View.
Somehow, managed to cover the imperfectionest and transform it into a presentable Birthday Cake.





Happy Birthday, Charis!

Strawberry Chiffon Cake

Another Birthday cake for my mom? Yeah.. the previous was made last saturday, and was eaten without her cutting as we wanted to give mom a surprise celebration on today (which is the Actual day)

All goes according to plan as mom was kept in the dark until the caterior set up the food at her place.
How can such celebration goes without a proper cake?

Hence, I have made this cake last night.. without the top design as my highest container can only carry up to this height (abt 7")



Here's the design made in hurry as I was 1 hours late (I travelled from Suntec to Jurong, by bus)! I had asked my hubby to fetch the kids and the cake from home, together with my pre-prepared ingredients and tools.


This is the most successful cake I have made so far!

  8. 84gm vegetable oil
  9. 7 egg white
  10. 50gm raw sugar
  11. 1/8 tsp cream of tartar

Fillings:

  1. Whipping cream
  2. Srawberries

Method:

  • Prepare oven to 1750C, Greas and flour 2 X 9" round pan.
  • Sift cake flour, baking powder and salt, set aside
  • beat egg yolks until ribbon stage, add sugar and continue to beat till sugar dissolves.
  • Add vanilla extract, oil, milk and beat till combine, add flour in 2 portion and beat in medium speed till incorporated.
  • In a clean bowl, beat egg white, tartar and sugar until soft peaks form.
  • Fold in egg white into the yolk mixture in 3 portion.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 20mins.
  • Remove and leave to cool.
  • Frost with whipped cream.
