Ohhh... how time flies!

Happy Sunday everyone... weird to be saying that cos normally i dont update my blog on Sunday morning.. hb n Sonia are out cycling.. err hv i told ya that we bought her a bicycle a few days ago and shes cycling like a pro now?? hehhe of cos with the help of support wheels! Hairi is out to USS as early as 7am .. well thats what he said cos i overslept and dont even know if he did come home last night.. sigh.. i wish there was some kinda dummy book to guide me on how to get my 20yrs old boy (boy in my eyes!) to stay home on weekends with his family! grrr



Anyway lots of stuff going on for the past few days.. i hv been out and abt with both my sisters.. sis Wati was on leave this whole week and she came by my place with her kids a couple of times.. sis lyn had bad sore throat .. which was good in a way cos its not always that chatterbox sister of us is quiet muahahha.. mom and dad together with one of wati's kids flew to HCMC for a short hols .. we will be going to the airport later to fetch them home.. how time flies nowadays!

Remember when i told ya that i wanna take a breather fm taking orders..?? i didnt!! maybe for the love of baking.. i shud but i cant.. in my head i kept on saying.. practice makes perfect and to be able to meet the person that writes to u an email ordering ur bakes is a good experience.. so while mama bakes.. Sonia bakes macarons too .. with her playdoh of cos.. without anyone showing her how to.. i guess this is what u call.. hands on - she watches and she replicates what she sees (just in much "crazier" colours as she call it!) hehe



Thank you to Norah for ordering macs and cocoa mocha layer cake and thank you to Nur Raihan who is in town with her mom fm Shah Alam for ordering macs and Pak Hadi kek lapis.. woot woot.. thats 50 egg yolks in ur layer cake my dear! heheh both daughter and mom hv been my silent readers.. was nice to meet u guys!!



I did however manage to bake CMG prune layer cake and also this pandan marmer cake for my family to munch..when asked.. hb said he much prefers the prune layer cake.. of cos!! who doesnt like prune layer cake ey..


This is a simple butter cake recipe which was given a tweak.. i added 1 tsp of pandan paste into it simply bec i felt like having a slice of pandan butter cake but guess what.. right after it was baked.. i didnt feel like having it and hv yet to taste it cos both hb and i hv been munching on the prune layer cake since yesterday lol




Ingredients
150g buttter (weird.. i found out Golden Churn is afterall halal here.. theres a halal cert pasted on their payment counter in Sun Lik!)
100g sugar
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
150g flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cocoa powder - i used valrhona!

Method
Preheat oven 175C..
Whisk butter till soften.. add in sugar a little at a time and continue to whisk pale.
Add in eggs one at a time and continue to whisk till well mix.. lower ur mixer speed and add in sifted flour.
Take 2 tbsp of batter and add in ur cocoa powder... to the rest of the batter u add in 1 tsp of pandan paste.
Pour batter into 7" cake tin.. (next time i probably will use a 6" pan to get a taller cake).. drop a few dollop of chocolate batter on top and gv it a few swirl.
Bake ur cake for 40 mins.

Oh bef i forget.. i am so so sorry for the late shipment of my mastrad silicone sheets.. sometimes i dont know how these French do their job!! grrr They messed up my order and put it into somebody elses' sea freight. They will send it out by DHL this coming week - with a little extra gift for every sheet. BUT: let me know if u cant wait and i will refund ur money.. thank you for ur understanding.. cheers!

entah lah.. last week i went to Sun Lik and i saw it.. i asked mrs wong - the owner.. and she told me that lately she gets lots of question fm her muslim customer regarding GC.. she got the cert to verify that GC is halal and place it in her store..

Rima said...

RC
I hv replied to ur email dear.. anyway it was lately that they were talking abt GC.. tak tahu lah.. yg pasti i saw the halal cert yg mengata kan GC tu halal..

Rima said...

BTK
Alamak u better stay away fm that 50 egg yolks layer cake hehe

Rima said...

Arina
Tu lah.. kita sibuk bake macs.. dia pun sibuk jugak.. yg the funny part.. i was in my kitchen.. she play playdoh kat living room.. she ran to my kitchen and showed me a tiny little macs.. dia boleh cakap dgn kita lagi .. "mama look at my macarons... my crazy colour macarons" hahahha

Rima said...

Cik Mat
Kita also macam frust sikit tau after receiving lots of emails regarding GC tak halal.. terpaksa ku letak tepi a few cans of GC.. nak pengsan tak leh.. ku redha ajer heheh.. dah tu last week i went to Sun Lik to get my baking supply and thats when i saw the halal cert..of cos i tanya owner lah and she said she rcvd too many question fm her muslim customer.. tu yg dia got the cert and place it in her shop.. nanti if i go there again i will ask mrs wong for a photocopy ok..

Rima said...

Alice

Keluarnya, too soft & retak.. Haizz
Tapi takpe, i belum putus asa with those sweeties.
Will try sampai dpt.

Hi Rima,

Nice cake. Just a question. When you say whisk, does that mean using the k beater or using the baloon whisk?
