Cakes..

Last week's cakes was mainly from new customer..Though hubby was not around the entire week, i tried keeping up and pulling through everything smoothly. Alhamdulillah, below are last week's bakes.

Red velvet cake for Kak An. TQ kak!

Double recipe of Red Velvet cake for my dear friend Noor. This cake was sent a day earlier as I had to pick up hubby from the airport the same day/time as Iyzzat's birthday party. And i trusted Noor to arrange the edible image and other bits to her self. During our schooling years..she was far more creative than i was..this simple task should be no problem for her..still waiting for her cake photo, i shall share one soon.. And a big birthday wish to Iyzzat!

I was inspired by Rima..We were actually having durian after dinner and my father asked whether durian cake was easy to make..and of course i replied yes...here..it goes, the best durian cake everrrrr!!! It was soft, moist, almost melts in ur mouth..phewwww..if only i didnt know how many eggs we put in..

Do try this recepi..it's easy , and soooooooooo delicious..

Durian Cotton Cake (from RIMA).. -->  Kak Rima,I copy yer..
Ingredients
60g butter - i used unsalted butter
75g flour
75ml of milk - i used fresh milk
6 egg yolks - whisk lightly (use a fork)
150g durian meat - pureed

6 egg whites
125g sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

1. Warm milk on low heat (not till boiling state) then pour into beaten egg yolks, mix well, set aside. Keep it warm.

2. Boil butter, turn off the heat, and add in sifted flour, stirring until blended or till batter is smooth.. add in pureed durian meat.. stir well and immediately add in whipped egg/milk mixture into it, Mix both mixture using a whisk / spatula until blended, set aside.

3. Whisk egg white with salt.. once u see bubbles add in sugar a little at a time till soft peak.. add in lemon juice and continue to whisk for a few second - (do not whisk ur egg white till stiff peak ok)

4. Take 1/4 part of ur egg white .. fold it into ur egg yolk mixture.. mix it gently.. pour mixture back into beaten egg whites.. fold in gently as to prevent ur mixture to deflate. Add in rum bakar or vanilla extract if u like.. (i didnt use any).

5. Pour batter into ur UNGREASED 8" baking pan.. bake it using bain marie method in a preheated oven of 155C for half an hr or till its 3/4 done.. lower ur temp to 150C and continue to bake for a further 35 mins..

It was a fruity deal..

I was checking my FB page last nite and an old friend of mine suddenly sent a message..Asking what's a Pavlova..knowing her taste I'd know she wont like the taste & texture of it. She said she feels like having an orange cake..And automatically, Sicilian Orange Cake came to my head. I made this cake longgg.. time ago..and it was indeed a super duper delicious, soft, moist cake.. yet it was so simple to make..and i'd guarantee nothing will go wrong..source of recipe HERE!

Here..the texture..tasting is believing :)

And just before I started to bake, she sms-ed me asking to bake another cake, Victoria Sandwich Cake, which was her hb's fave. Lucky all the ingredient was at hand..and i just whisk it all up..source of recipe HERE!

The aroma of these cakes lingered into the entire house..lucky it doesn't wakes the kids up :) All that I know..these fruity deals really ends and my weekend..TQVM Yatie..hope u n hubby enjoy the cake..!! And I am looking forward for an up coming baking project..
