Yield 12 cupcakes or bake in 9x9 inch tin

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar ( I reduce this to 3/4 cup -tu pun dah manis)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk (nak moist lagi, boleh letak lebih)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.

Since ramai yg tanya resipi chiffon cake ni, terpaksa la tuan rumah update blog yg bersawang ni..

I started making chiffon cake when I was form 3, after PMR if I am not mistaken. I can't exactly remember how it started.In those days we do not have internet at home. Normally my mum will bring home recipes from her friends and asked me to try. One of those was a recipe for chiffon cake, from mak cik zoyah I think.

So I began making the cakes. I had several failed attempts. My mum will report back to her friends, saying 'x jadi' then she will come back with more and more tips. One thing for sure that I don't understand was why don't people include the tips with the recipe?? Buat waaa sakit hati lorrr..macam x ikhlas jek nak bg resipi..dah org bagitau x jadi baru nak bg tips/the do's and don't

Amongst the tips that I learnt along the way:
(x tau la betul ke tidak, but my cake surely x jadi kalau x ikut pantang larang ni)

1) Waktu asingkan telur merah dari telur putih, kalau telur merah tu terpecah, you have to discard the whole telur, jgn cuba kaut2 telur merah tu dari telur putih. Some people prefer eggs in room temp, but I never had a problem with telur sejuk dari fridge

2) Putih telur tu pukul sampai betul2 stiff ie:bila tonggengkan mangkuk telur tu, telur tu takkan jatuh

Actually dah lama x buat, sebab x ada acuan, waktu kat UK dulu ada beli acuan, x sure pulak apa jadi kat acuan tu, either bg kat Lisa or dalam kotak kat rumah sg petani kot -tu la lecehnya org hidup berpindah randah ni..

Baru2 ni rasa teringin nak makan pulak, terjumpa pulak acuan ni kat kedai kat Hamilton, kebetulan saja, asalnya pi area tu sebab nak order lauk for our open house

I have lost the original recipe that I used to make years ago, well actually sure my mum ada lagi simpan in her dog eared recipe book, tapi malas nak call mintak recipe. So korek2 online, jumpa resipi bro rozzan ni, pernah igt mamafami try and posing kat fp dia, nampak macam menarik saja. Pi cari pandan paste, dah abis, so buat orange chiffon cake dulu, nak test power resipi dulu, Alhamdullilah jadi, bawak pi WUMA punya event raya.

For my open house, buat 2 bijik, guna pandan extract dalam tin beli kat Thai Shop, sebab pandan paste dah abis

Ni dia the original resipi from bro Rozzan (thanks Bro!):

Bahan-bahannya

8 biji telur
8 oz gula halus (I used caster sugar-kalau rajin nak blend gula baisa pun boleh)
8 oz tepung Softasilk/Top flour ) -I used tepung high protein, tu saja yg ada kat umah
3 oz pati santan (I used santan dalam tin)
2 oz air pandan (or pandan paste mix with water to make up to 2oz)
1 sudu teh pandan paste
3 oz minyak jagung -I used canola oil saja
½ sudu teh vanilla
½ sudu teh garam halus
½ sudu teh cream of tartar
1/2 sudu teh baking powder


Cara-Cara:


Masukkan tepung , 4 oz gula , vanilli , garam dan baking powder ke dalam sebuah mangkuk. Kacau hingga rata. Masukkan minyak jagung , pati santan & air pandan lalu dikacau rata-rata. Masukkan kuning telur dan kacau lagi hingga sebati. Ketepikan.

Pukul putih telur dgn cream of tartar. Masukkan 4 oz gula sedikit demi sedikit dan terus pukul dgn high speed hingga naik.

Masukkan adunan tepung tadi ke dalam adunan putih telur tadi. Kacau rata hingga sebati tapi jgn terlalu lama agar tak banyak udara keluar dari adunan ini. Tuang adunan ke dalam acuan lalu dibakar hingga masak kira-kira 40-45 minit dgn suhu kira-kira 170 -180 darjah Celsius. Setelah masak, terbalikkan loyang kek chiffon ini dan biarkan begitu sehingga kek betul2 sejuk, baru keluarkan dari acuan dan potong.

Ada amek gambar some of the steps waktu buat aritu..but knowing me, lambat lagi la kot baru leh upload kat sini..tuan blog ni pemalas upload gambar..1/2 of the gambar2 dalam blog ni asben tuan blog curik mana ntah n tepek sini..kang kalau yg nak kena saman..bukannya dia huhhuhuhuhuhu

Selamat Mencuba..

Today is my DD's 1st birthday. We bought her a small chocolate mud cake from the cake kitchen and the cake was just PERFECT!!. There is a slice left in the fridge and I am trying to resist myself from polishing it off. MUch better than the cheesecake shop's mud cake IMO.

So I was browsing around, looking for a good recipe to try.

What I like about the cake kitchen's chocolate mud cake are :


It is a rich chocolatey cake
The cake is moist and just melt in your mouth
It is not too sweet, just nice
It is dense and not spongey


I found a few recipes on TNN. Will try and give it a go sometimes.

450g gula
120g butter
340ml air
10 biji kuning telur
7 biji putih telur
1/2 sudu makan esen rose (boleh kot ganti esen vanilla)
1 sudu makan soda bicarbonate
260g tepung gandum
200g condensed milk


cairkan gula atas dapur guna api yang kecil hingga kuning.

( kalau boleh tak yah lahkacau..biar jer dia kuning sendiri..sbb kalu kacau dia lekat lekat)

bila suma gula dah cantik kuning/brown, masukkan air & mentega. (careful sbb akan menggelegak ).biar kejap..Kacau hingga rata sampai tak ketul ketul etc)

Matikan api dan biarkan sehingga gula itu betul betul sejuk. tapi tak payah letak dlm peti.

dia takkan keras sbb dah letak air and mentega.


Campur and gaul rata telur, tepung, susu, bicarb soda dan esen rose dicampurkan dengan digaul rata.

Memang nampak berketul ketul..biarkan jer.

masukkan gula yang dah sejuk tadi

Gaul lagi sehingga rata.

Pastu tapis acuan dengan sieve (part ni yg leceh skit and make sure masa kita ambik acuan tuh utk ditapis acuan tu dah ala ala rata)
ada org guna blender....blender kan acuan.

lisa guna tapis tea tuh
tuang dalam tin pembakar yg dah sapu mentega..
Bakar dalam oven lebih kurang satu jam 150C api bawah sahja.

then tambah lagi setengah jam , guna api atas dan bawah.

Cucuk kek dengan lidi utk check masak.
potong bila sejuk.


p/s kalau nak wat separuh, guna telur 5 telur kuning, 3 telur putih

dlm 45 minit 150 c bawah, and dlm 20-30 min api atas bawah..kena careful skit laa tgk oven.



panjang sgt resepi kek gula hangus nih. senang jer nak wat

cuma leceh tunggu gula..tapi lisa tak kacau jadi biarjer dlm periuk
