Cheddar Cheese Cake



I bought a heart-shape cake pan. I wanted to make use of it eagerly. Thinking of what to bake?...... Emm, how about making a CCC with LOVE?
To make it more attractive, i sprinkle some cocoa powder on top. It tastes a bit bitter ....
Trying to make "my heart" becomes more photogenic, i put a rose which was given by my kid in Mother's day as decoration...... A HEART with a ROSE, now u know how much i love u ^^

RICH Chocolate Cake


This receip has been lying in my baking file for a very long time. The chocolate glazing
is so irresistable, as well as the name -- RICH Chocolate Cake! I would really want to try it out and see how RICH it is.
Finally, it's in my mouth!!! Definately no disappointment..... extremly chocolatey!!! Since i am lazy to think of the decoration, and it's hard to get strawberry here, i just place a candy on it. My children love it so...soooo much!!! They keep peeping at the Doreamon candy in the fridge, and exclaimed ...."Wah! Wah! Wah!" ....... "Mummy, i want to eat the Doreamon cake!"

Almond Coffee Swiss Roll

The cake is full of the aroma of almond flakes. When you have a bite, the almond just satisfy the nutty feeling. I also like the coffee cream. It's not greasy, but smooth and creamy.

烧包

连续看到星家萍水相逢都在做烧包,那黄涔涔脆脆的外皮加上叉烧内陷。怎么不然人嘴馋,手痒?可是,面对搓搓揉揉的面皮,我是没有信心的。之前就烦了网友Pynn几轮,准备就绪,敢敢开工!

先从油皮开始,面粉似乎缺乏水分,无法被食谱中(90ml)充分拌匀。我尝试一点一点额外多加水,面团还是很干很会裂。由于怕加太多水而影响皮的硬度及酥脆,不敢加太多。面团不会像姐妹们的如此光滑,我的很粗糙 :(
不管啦,放着修面再说。。。

我用ghee代替白油, 油心容易多了。

当我将油心包入油皮,杆长。问题又来了,呜呜。油心从油皮“爆”出来,掺了掺了。。。为什么不如Pynn的解说图美美的呢?我开始担心到底我的烧包会成功吗?心情沉到谷底!想放弃,但看着躺在那儿的叉烧又于心不忍。只好硬着头皮,继续苦干。

在做包子时,由于皮很干,包子很难捏的好。涂了蛋黄液入了烤炉,烘了十分钟又拿出来再涂上蛋黄液;不怎么上色而且裂开,所以十分钟后,涂多一次蛋黄液。

终于大功告成了!!除了面皮有点ghee味,有点面粉味(pynn说是皮太干),味道真的可以比美外头卖的!!
皮料食谱来自 : Jane

材料

油皮:
面粉200g
菜油35g
细砂糖1大匙
水90ml

油心:
低筋面粉100g
羊酥油/白油60g
1.油皮:将全部材料搓揉至光滑,休面30分钟。
2.油心:将面粉级白油拌匀。(不要拌太久,不然会很黏)。
3.把水皮和油皮分别分割成12份。
4.取一份水皮包入一份油皮。杆长,卷起,重复再做一次。 两端折进成圆球状。休面10分钟。
将粉团擀成圆形,包入馅料,做成包子形,扫上蛋液;放入烤箱,炉温200℃、烤约25-30分钟至金黄色,即完成。

Mini Egg Tarts


My girl is craving for egg tarts. These mini egg tarts are baked by her request.

A 9 year-old girl, she can really be my great helping hands nowadays. She can knead the pastry into the mould quite well. I just "re-shape" a bit to make it more even. It takes me shorter time in the kitchen. *Smile*
This is the same recipe as previous bake :Pandan Egg Tarts
