Japanese Cotton Cake

This is something i always wanted to bake. Well i always like the japanese kind of cheese cake and found one recipe that is the same as those sold at Ichiban that i always buy when my craving for cheesecake comes.

Won't really say its a success as there was a small crack and the bottom was a liitle dense due to me not being careful. Well never watch TV when ur baking cheesecake i would say.!!!

Apple Cake

Always wanted to make apple cake but never seem to be able to find a suitable recipe. well so i just modified abit and made cake with apple filling. It still taste fine but something still seem to be lacking..... Well this for another day to spend some time to try and error

Banana Chocolate Cake

Previous let down when i tried to bake this cake due to the whipping cream. This time round went to PH and bought all the trust worthy ingredient that i need. NO more buying from NTUC or other supermarket.

It turn out the way it should be and it taste great must i say haha!!! Well my mum, and 2 bros like it. And i Love it!!!!!

Baking again

Well mum bought a new oven many many months ago but due to work, i've not been baking. The last bake was a birthday cake which did not turn out well which was kinda sad!!

New oven was gd as the cake did rise as its suppose to be haha!! but sadly the brand of whipping cream i bought did not take effect thus some changes was done. Will soon go back to phoon huat to get the proper ingredients as the brand in JE had close down. Made a total wasted trip there to only find it closed and having to make do with wat i can find in NTUC.

Banana Choclate Cake

Well will try to make this again the way it should be with the correct ingredients or rather the brand i want to make it again......

thats when i'm free from work

till them..........

Chocolate Cake

All i wanted was to bake a sponge cake to eat but i ended up with......

......

....

.

My first ever cake that is covered up by chocolate ganche.

Well its actually my first ever cake that is being decorated. Otherwise i only have cakes that are just bake and eat with no cream or any other sorts.

Well this cake was just an accident i would say. It all started out with me buying a brand of whipping cream that tasted weird to me. Not that it has turn bad or what but I could just taste something weird about it despite my family saying it taste fine. Maybe its juz me...

So well since i had baked a basic sponge cake already and i had whip cream that i might never ever use again and with a whole lot of choc on hand, I decided to make chocolate ganche out of no where. It juz came to me.

This is to try out if i could cover the whip cream weird taste by using lots of choc and eat it with my fav sponge cake. And the results I love it. the weird taste is all gone and i have a good tasting chocolate ganche. By puting the ganche and cake together......

I get a good tasting combination.

Well since it was just for experiment, I cut a piece of cake and spread the ganche all over for tasting. I love it. I was really happy since i had many failure before. Its either the cream din taste good or the cake was a problem. well i dun really have a good oven for baking due to the heat not being able to generate proper for even cooking. Any Sponsers?????

Well overall my mum like it and my dad ate a slice too after taking a look at it. Haha Knowing my dad is not into my baking end product, its good to see him eating a piece cause even when i offer it to him, its either something he dun like (which is usually the case) or it just do not look tempting enough for him to try a small bite.

Lastly my 2 brothers, it was ok for them. Both of them have really diff taste bud than me. Most of my bakes when i say its terrible, they love it and when i say its good, to them its just ok.

Well when it comes to food its hard to please everyone.

*HAPPY* \(' ')/

Another step forward to better baking end product..

and to learn how to take better pictures. Well using a cam phone it just not as gd as a cam.

Marble Yorgurt Cake

Saw this Recipe from 'thelazychef' some time ago but did not attempt to try it as I'm a no yogurt person. Not a yogurt fan but there was something in me asking me to try making it and have a breakthough by trying to make stuff i don't like to put in my mouth. Well I'm a rather picky person while it comes to food.

Well the chance came when at my workplace while working temp, gives free yorgurt a (1litre tub) to every department. With only 5 ppl in my dept including me, do not eat plain yogurt, I took the chance to take the whole tub home to try out the long awaited recipe that was going through my mind ever since i came across it.

Plain yogurt is sure not everyone's cup of tea. It has a acquired taste to it that not everyone can stomach it. Even my mum prefer flavoured yorgurt as to the plain one despite being a yorgurt person.


Below recipe is copied from thelazychef website.



Ingredients (A)

85g unsalted butter, cut into pieces 170g sugar (original recipe uses 200g)
2 tsps vanilla extract


Ingredients (B)

-whisk together till smooth
2 tsp instant coffee granules
37g unsweetened cocoa powder
70g sugar
60 ml water

Ingredients (C)

2 eggs

Ingredients (D)

-sift together
225g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp plus
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt


-240 ml unsweetened nonfat yogurt






1) Preheat oven to 180C.Grease a 21 cm tube pan.

2) Cream butter and sugar in (A) till light and creamy. Beat in vanilla. Dribble in (C) slowly, about 1 tbsp at a time, beating constantly for about 2 mins*

3) On LOW speed, beat in 1/3 of (D). Mix until just combined. Beat in ½ the yogurt. Beat in 1/2 of the remaining flour mixture, followed by the rest of the yogurt. Lastly, beat in the rest of the flour. Take care not to overmix.

4) Measure out about half of the batter and fold in (B). Set aside.

5) Alternate large spoonfuls of the white and chocolate batters into the pan.

6)Use a table knife to marble the batters together in a zig-zag or circular motion, taking care not to blend them too much.

7) Bake for 45 to 50 mins till skewer inserted comes out clean. 8)Cool in pan for 10 mins. Unmold and cool completely.


* if mixture curdles after adding in eggs, try adding in 2 tbsps of the flour mixture and beat on LOW. Mixture should look smoother, continue adding flour and yogurt.



The Outcome......


My mum likes it, my 2 brothers it was ok for them but not something they wanna eat it again cause of the taste of yogurt and my dad, he does not eat wat i make unless i say its really good. Otherwise bad tasting food stays with me and gets eaten up by me wahahaha!!!

Personally i like the smooth texture and the quiet taste of the yorgurt with each bite. Well guess it was good enough for me and it was something new to what i always bake. ( I only bake things i like to eat!!!)

A good fresh start to many more new 1st times in baking..................
