Sweet Treats for My Sweet Tooth

My mother fave when it comes to cakes is the simplest butter cake without any colours or additional ingredients ( whereby yours truly would love to heap extra of everything onto the cakes ), also she likes Fruit Cake but not the really sweet ones. (unlike me, who has a really sweet tooth hahah). So , since I have several boxes of unused dried mixed fruit (Nona Brand) in the pantry, raisin ( got plenty of this) and dried diced papaya ( bought it on a whim hahha ). Thumb through my fave book of CAKES and decided to used this recipe for my 1st try. Originally the recipe called for the cake to be baked in the oven, but I decide to steam mine instead, my mother prefer the cake to be really soft..here's the recipe. Ingredients 11/4 cup self raising flour 11/4 cup plain flour 250g butter 1 cup brown sugar 2 cups mixed dried fruit ( i added some dried diced papaya too ) 11/3 cup pitted prunes chopped ( I sub with dates ) 11/4 cups orange juice ( originally recipe use port ) 1/2 teaspoon ...

This recipe is sourced from Barefoot Contessa's Lemon Yogurt Cake. This recipes differs a little from the orange yogurt cake I have posted earlier . I added some poppyseed to this cake, for extra crunchiness ( its is a birtyhday cake for one of my sis-in law). Well, I am not much when it comes to decorating especially a bundt cake. So i just used leftovers of some cream cheese icing..hahah..anyway..the taste is better than the appearance.But using a bundt pan, you will have a perfectly cut cake in rounded slices..dont you think so. The original recipe comes with lemon glaze.,which I opted out. Next time I shall try to bake it in a rounded pan and test my decorating skill with buttercream. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoon poppyseed 1 cup plain yogurt ( i used mango flavoured :) 1 1/3 cups sugar, divided 3 extra-large eggs 2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated (zest of 2 lemons) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence 1/2 cup vegeta...

Baru-baru teringat nak buatkan sebijik kek untuk untuk seorang teman, yang dah lama duk menjenguk gambar2 kek2 kat blog aku nih, hari tuh ader jugak aku bagikan belen2 kek carrot yang dibuat untk kawan sepejabat tapi cam tak puas hati jer kan. So satu malam tuh aku gagah kan jugak lah, belek2 carik resepi yang paling senang dimasak, petang tuh dah browse kat AllRecipes.Com cari2 jumpalah resepi coklat cake nih..bahan2 nyer pun semua yang standard2 jer ( maknanyer kalau orang yang selalu baking2 nih bahan2 nih sentiasa ader lah dalam simpanan ). Carik2 dulang pembakar yang besar sikit tak jumpa pla, so bakar lah dalam dulang 7 inci itulah sebabnyer kek tuh nampak sungguh membukit sekali, siap ader baki2 yang aku bakar dalam muffin cup jadi cupcake ( rezeki kawan2 sepejabat jugak ). So kalau korang rajin cuba jer lah resepi kat bawah nih. Satu lagi kek nih lebih sedap bila korangdah simpan semalam dalam peti ais, lagi terasa kecoklatan nya. kalau takder gula perang pakai jer gula ka...

This is actually adapted from Lemon Yougurt cake, since I am having some oranges that have been sitting in the fridge for quite sometimes.I substitute the lemon falvor with that of oranges.

Cooking with veggie in a cake? Not any veggie..just the carrots obviously. When it comes to carrot cake, I am a real beginner. Thus , I search for a recipe that is easier to start with. This recipe was adapted from "Cakes : Periplus". The recipe calleds for vegetable oil and lots of grated carrot , as for the flour..instead of the three types that I used here , it can be substitute with 2 cups of regular self raising flour. If you are hankering for something sweeter, upped the amount of sugar to 11/2 cup too. Ingredients 1 cup vegetable oil ( I used canola oil) 3 eggs , lightly beaten 11/4 cup caster sugar 3 cups coarsely grated carrot 1/3 cup crushed pineapple, well drained ( I use canned cubed pineapple ) 2 table spoon sultanas 1/3 cup walnut, coarsely chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons mixed spice* ( can be sub with ground cinnamon ) 1/2 cup plain flour* 11/4 cup self-raising flour*-sifted all these together ½ cup rolled oat-coarsely chopped in food processer 1.

There are many different types of slices, which we enjoyed to bake and savour. The usual kind of slice will of course be the all around favourite, brownies. However, a slice can also be a simple nutty chewy biscuit, creamy yummy chocolate, pastry base, a crunchy crumb base and many variations. I make it a point to try out new recipes now and then. This particular recipes taken from Periplus “Superb Brownies, Cakes & Slices” have been earmarked for quite sometimes, waiting for the project to begin until recently. Like always i tweaked on the recipe a little to suit mine taste bud, brought some to the office and was received with good reviews. Some said it remind them of coconut cookies too. However, the next time I undertake this recipe I will probably add more of the jam for the extra ommphhhh. Enough of endless chatter, there are still few earmarked pages on my recipes books that beg to brought to life....hehhehe..off to the kitchen dear comrades! Ingredients For Base: 1 c...

kenapa saya suka kek pandan..sebab warna hijau ini sungguh menawan..betul tak?? Anyway nowdays the keyword is GREEN.. so eat something green lah. Really the truth was that I need to finish off satu kampit kelapa kering baki2 buat biskut kelapa dulu ( dont asked me the exact date dah lupa, sib baik elok lagi ). Kek nih memang sedap dan lembut, kalau nak terasa pandan lagi pakailah pati pandan yang asli( guna daun pandan dan diblend , ambik pati nyer). Rasanyer bila guna santan kelapa, yang rasa lemak tuh sungguh menggoda. Pun boleh nak tukar guna susu biasa.terpulang pada kesukaan dan kreativiti masing2 gamaknya. Resepi nih ambik dari blog Puan Zaliana (jopurnal rasa).Dulu pun pernah cuba buat KEK PANDAN resepi yang lebih kurang macam nih, sila tengok di catatan yang lalu yer.
