Horlicks Steam Cake

I got this recipe from someone's blog but I couldn't remember which one. So whoever out there, i didn't mean to steal your recipe.

This is a very aromatic cake. The batter is quite thick, therefore the cake is prety dense, but the cake tasted wonderful. Very rich cake, buttery and milky. And it is not too sweet.

Steam Horlicks Cake

250g butter, room temperature
120g caster sugar
5 eggs (medium)

Mix together:
120g condensed milk (I use homemade condensed milk)
50g Strawberry jam or kaya

70g Horlicks
130g plain flour sieved with 1 tsp baking powder


Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy
Add one egg at a time till well blended
Add straberry jam follow by condensed milk and blend well in slow speed
Fold in Horlicks and flour, stir with spatula till well blended
Spoon the batter into pan cake and cover the top losely with a piece of aluminium foil
Steam medium high for 50-60 minutes

What I did was spooned the batter into cupcake cups and steam for 15 minutes


It actually rised higher than this but settled down after I took it out from steamer. Maybe I over steammed it?

Primary School

Time flies when you have kids. They grow up so fast. Big M would be attending Primary One next year. However, the school has guidance class for 2011 primary one pupil for two weeks after the year end holiday started.

First time in primary school uniform


Waiting for his teacher to arrange seat for him since he missed the first day at school.



Yup! Time flies...

Condensed Milk

Got the recipe from http://www.janicetimes.blogspot.com/.
125 g butter
2 cup sugar
1 cup boiling water (hot)
3 cup milk powder (or 4 cup depending on the thickness you desire)

Put sugar , butter and water in a blender.
Blend while gradually pour in Milk powder.

Once cool down the batter will thicken slightly.

It taste better than commercial condensed milk. I used the condensed milk to make pan cakes and Steamed Sponge Cake

Pancake (recipe from cooks united.co.uk with slight alteration.)

200g self rising flour
1 tsp salt
3 medium egg, separated
200ml condensed milk diluted with 200ml water (if the batter is too think you can add more water)

Mix together flour and salt.
Beat egg white and set aside
Beat egg yolk, then add condensed milk and beat until smooth
Combine egg yolk mixture with dry ingredient and beat until dmooth. Fold in Egg white.

Enjoy...fluffy and rich pancakes!

Cream Cracker Layer Cake

Thia recipe was from http://eatingpleasure.blogspot.com/2009/09/cream-cracker-layer-cake.html

I love the cake. Buttery and not too sweet. The only thing I would probably change is using unsalted butter next time. This was because the cream cracker can be salty. I use Jacob cream cracker because it was less oily. Maybe I would use high fiber or multi grain variety next time.




I know this picture was not very clear but I used it because it was taken by Small M.

Ingredients:


250gm butter
170gm Castor sugar
200gm cream cracker, blended
5 omega-3 eggs, beaten
2 & 1/2 tbsp coco powder

Method:

1. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Add the beaten eggs in batches and mix well.

3. Pour in cream cracker powder in batches and mix well.

4. Divide the mixture into half. Add coco powder to one of the portion.

5. Spread a layer of original flavored batter in the baking tray. Steam for 5 minutes. Then continue with a layer of coco flavored batter and steam for 5 minutes. Continue doing this with alternating flavored batter until you finish up the batter.

Bali Day 3

Hire a cab to ubud for Rp 200,000 to Ubid. Stay in Tegal Sari.


Love the Hotel. Cannot remember the price in Rp. It cost about RM190.00 for Super Deluxe Wooden. Excellant room. Great services. I would come back to Bali just for the hotel.

Day 4

Stay in Febris Hotel back in Kuta. After staying in Tegal Sari, Febris pale in comparison. The hotel wasn't bad if I haven't stayed in Tegal Sari.
