Coconut Cream Corn Butter Cake

好吃快快吃

Another delicious recipe for new-hands in cake making and using ingredients close to home. Coconut cream and cream corn are inexpensive and the two of them just hit off like a hurricrane.

 The butter creaming method is one the basic being taught at Home Economic class.  Once this method is fully understood, you can bake any buttercakes. Importantly, bring out the butter hours ahead of baking time so that it would be very soft ready for use. I put it in the mixing bowl before bedtime and start baking the next morning.

At this stage , do not put in sugar yet. Beat the very soft butter for a minute to lighten it further. 

After a minute of beating, then pour in the sugar and continue the beating for another minute.

To prevent butter curdling when eggs are added, I put in 2 tbsps of flour to strenghten the mixure.

Light beat the eggs in a bowl.

Do not pour in the eggs in one go. While the cake mixer is running, pour in about 2 tbsp at one time.

The flavouring extracts can be added to the eggs or into the batter at this stage. Continue the beating for another 7 mins at medium speed.

Once the butter and eggs are nicely beaten, pour in 3/4 cup cream corn and blend all well.

Next, sieve all the dry ingredients in all bowl.

Also, prepare 3/4 cup coconut cream .

You are now ready to blend all by hand with the folding strokes.

Fold in one third of the flour and coconut at one go.

Pour into a lined baking tin and smoothen the top.

Preheat oven at 200 degrees 15 mins. Bake the cake at 200 degrees for 5 mins and then 180 degrees for about 25 mins till golden.

Ingredients List:

• 300g top flour
• 175g white sugar
• 250 salted butter
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 butter essence
• 1/4 tsp corn essence (optional)
• 3/4 cup cream corn
• 2/3 cup coconut cream
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda

Thai Milk Tea Drizzle Cake

在吃什么?
吃不饱的.

A slice of decadent

A visit to Adam or Bedok hawker centre is unfulfilling without a glass of Teh Tarik, likewise a cold glass of Thai milk tea is a must when shopping at Golden Mile Complex for thai grocery. The tea leaves from Thailand has a distinct fragrance that is so aromatic. The drink is enriched with loads of condensed milk and evaporated milk. I simply use the same ingredients and added to the butter cake mixture and this delicious cake is before your eyes. By the way, the tea leaves go into the cake as well. Serve the cake with a light butter cream for a luxurious velvety smoothness.

French Patisserie 1: Lime Madeleine 法国石灰水果马德莱娜...cold batter method

A Salute to Notre Dame Musical......Sunday morning is a perfect time to bake madeleines while the rest of family still in slumberland, hopefully the aroma would kick them off the beds. When the oven door was opened ( a 20 years old Belling) , the sight of these humps just brought me back to the musical play I enjoyed some years back. The long overnight wait for the batter to be well chilled in fridge is such an agony, (or least 4 hours). Nevertheless, it was a fruitful wait.

Chill batter at least 4 hours or more 

Honestly, there is no other easier way  to get this big hump.I cheated many times - skipped the chilling stage  in the past, the result was a puffy top!  Take my word and you won't be disappointed. You can't retired from baking without getting it right. In my recipe , I have reduced the amount of sugar from 120g to 80 g  and butter 100g to 60g.

Jumbo shell shape

With this sweet success, I'll on the way to purchase another pan, perphas d 24 mini ones, more to share around. This recipe yields 6 fat ones only. I can easily eat them all alone in a day.

Here are a couple of pointers: Flour the baking tins after greasing for easier removal. Pipe cold batter into tins. Remove madeleines from tins once out of oven, Using disposal piping bag is the best way to fill these shell tins without creating a mess.

Recipe: 
*90g plain flour
*1 tsp baking powder
*a pinch of salt
*2 large eggs - 65 g type
*80g sugar
*60g melted butter

*1/2 tsp vanilla extract

*1/2  lemon or lime zest
