Recipe: Orange Hot Milk Sponge with Orange Creme Patissiere

vivien — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:10:33 +0000

was bored, so played with food instead This is a new method of baking cake where boiling hot milk are added into flour-egg mixture instead of the usual cold or room temperature ingredient. Recipe from Homemade Heaven, the cake i baked failed but the cream patissiere is really nice, like those from beard papa’s and it is fat free! The cake turn out dense, and big holes in areas, maybe i add in the milk too fast, in fact i add them in one go, and stir the thick flour-egg mixture with the milk frantically, and it is a bit lumpy when i pour it into baking tin. Also experiment with Olympus mju 7000 taking food picture, i guess the preset scene-Cuisine is still the most suitable for taking food photo as i am not familiar with doing setting manually.

sifting flour with baking powder + salt

to be hot milk mixture for the cake, here is 1 pack of UHT milk + 100g butter + orange zest

4 egg + sugar, beat till pale white… for making the orange cake.

about 60ml of milk + 3 egg yolk + sugar + vanilla

bottom of pot after cream patisiere is fully cooked and thick… yummy stuff

Tesco Baking Sheet/Baking Paper

vivien — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:28:00 +0000

Tesco greaseproof paper is my favourite when it comes to baking, as it is wider than the usual parchment paper(37.5cm versus 30cm), the most common being Glad Bake’s baking and cooking paper(price approx RM8.90), whereas Tesco is only RM4.50!!! And Tesco is 20 metres long, whereas Glad’s only 5 metres. Be a wise consumer… hahaha

Haven’t been blogging for a while, for those following this blog (perasaan, although i believe i have followers… haha), not blogging for 1 week is like reallly long, this blog is not dead, just not “inspired” to write… and lacking blogging material, more like interesting materials, at the mean time, i will blog some not so interesting stuff… lalala~~~

Recipe: Lemon Olive Oil Cake

vivien — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:58:00 +0000

Recipe taken from Serious Eats – Lemon Olive Oil Cake. 4 eggs.

Beat the egg + sugar(recipe specified 1 cup sugar, which is about 180g, but i used only 130g of caster sugar), beat till it become pale in color and sugar melted.

result after beating sugar + 4 eggs for 5 minutes

add in 3/4 cup of yoghurt, bought this from local indian shop, homemade by them(i think). this package should be around 3/4 cup?! hehe

lemon rind from 3 lemons, remember not to grate the white part of lemon skin, else it will taste bitter.

drizzle in olive oil, make sure it is a small and steady stream, so that an an emulsion can be created. Recipe specified the success of this cake depends wholely on how good the olive oil is, but here i am using a really cheap olive oil from Cold Storage house brand – First choice, using extra virgin olive oil will prolly yield better result.

the flour mixture(superfine flour/Pau flour + baking powder + soda + salt) which been sifted 3 times.

mix the flour into liquid ingredient

continue mixing till it is well combined and not too mix too much for cake else glutens form will result in tough cake.

Bake at 160 Celcius (325F) for 40-45 minutes

Taste like a light butter cake, the lemon flavor is subtle, not as strong as i would like. Crumb is light, not bad.

How to make Swiss Roll

vivien — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:52:00 +0000

Recipe taken from hsling, written in chinese. Above is sifted flour (superfine flour/Pau flour + corn flour) and liquid mixture(egg yolk, yoghurt, canola oil)

Mix up the above dry and wet ingredients together till it become smooth

on the other hand, bet up the egg white, above is 4 egg white, i am using large egg.

beat it till it become frothy, about 1 minute

add in sugar

continue beating, about 4 minuts till it become stiff and glossy, one way to determine is when you hold the mixing bowl upside down, the meringue won’t flow down. Remember not to continue beating once it reach this stage, else the stiff structure will be broken down and it will be back to liquid(i never tried this before, that is what i heard )

take half of the meringue and lightly mix it into the flour-yoghurt-etc mixture.

The flour-yogurt-etc mixture is well mixed with half of the meringue

Now, mix both mixture by folding. Folding is an essential technique for cake making. Unfortunately i didn’t take any photo to show you folding action, it is essentially bringing the spatula to the bottom of the mixture by “slicing” the spatula from the side of the bowl, and then bring up the mixture from bottom to the top. Good folding technique ensure the cake turn out soft and well-risen.

well incorporated

ready to be bake, level the cake that the middle is just slightly lower than the side, as cake usually rise more in the middle.

finished baking

flip the cake over on top of another baking sheet, peel of the baking sheet

this is the only jam available in my house- thick apricot jam by St Dalfour.

Spread jam thinly on top(remember to roll this cake while it is still warm, as cake won’t roll well after cool)

roll it up, the brownish skin stick to the bottom baking sheet, so here is my naked swiss roll… haha

cross section, very yummy and soft. Highly Recommended, unlike the previous Cheese Slice Cake i made which recipe is from the same site-hsling.

Cheese Slice Cake

vivien — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:49:00 +0000

Went to Kepong Brem Mall’s Giant supermarket. After that, had a drink in a kopitiam-Kepong Kopitiam, consider this a Old Town wannabe, the lemon drink which i ordered is so damn fake and cost RM3.50! basically it is lemon extract/cordial mix with 1 slice of lemon, couldn’t finished it, and the above is where i left it at. This makes me appreciate Old Town White Coffee more, cause they maintain certain standard in their food, and they taste pretty good.

breakfast set from OldTown White Coffee, nasi lemak + ice lemon tea = RM5.90. If you take black coffee/tea with the nasi lemak, it will be RM4.90. You can add fried chicken to the rice for RM1.50, yummy.

Made a Cheese slice cake, ingredients: 3 slices of cheese, milk, butter, flour, 3 eggs etc, the batter is little, so the cake is thin and flat :\

Recipe for Cheese Slice cake is from hslingkitchen. Flat cake, it taste just alright, recipe by ivyaiwei is still da best.
