Pandan Cheddar Cheesecake

I saw someone post on fb:  pandan light cheesecake, many people asking for the recipe, and the green color cake just really makes me feel like trying too.

When i look into my fridge i only have cheddar cheese, and only 3 eggs sitting in kitchen, but i decided not to use my 6", as i think, if i use my 9" mould, the cake should be "short short", "thin thin", and it would be so much easier to cut into bite-size ^_^

I have used pandan emulco in this cake (same as original recipe), as i have no pandan leaf to blend,  and i have also changed the method of folding egg whites (please refer step 9)

So, how is the cake? I can tell you proudly that my Pandan Cheddar Cheesecake is so light, so soft, and i love the cheddar cheese taste which combined well with pandan fragrance. 

The bite size i have cut just an excuse for myself and hubby not to feel guilty to eat one after another, hahaha......

Oya, there is no crack on my cheesecake, and the color is quite even, happy❣

❤♡❤♡❤♡❤♡❤♡❤♡❤♡❤♡❤♡❤

Ingredients:
✴ 3eggs (separate yolk and whites) 
✴ cheddar cheese 3-4slices
✴ 1/2tsp pandan emulco
✴ 1/4tsp cream of tartar
✴ 50g super fine flour
✴ 50g castor sugar
✴ 50ml fresh milk
✴ 50g butter 

Method:
1) use double boil method to melt cheese + butter + milk
2) let the mixture cool down awhile
3) add in pandan emulco, mix well
4) add in egg yolks, mix well
5) sift in the flour, mix well

**You may preheat the oven at 150° now**

6) beat egg white + cream of tartar
7) add in sugar gradually, and beat till soft peak is formed
8) fold in 1/3 of the egg white into the yolk mixture
9) pour in the whole yolk mixture (which you have added some egg white in step 8), into the remaining egg whites, and fold gently with spatula until all well combined
10) bake for 1hour and 10minutes (adjust your own oven temperature and duration, i prefer my cake has "just nice" golden top instead of very brown) 

Tips:
While preheat the oven, do put a tray of water at lowest tray. 
When the batter is ready to bake, put a rack on top of that tray, and put the baking tin on the rack. (please refer last picture at the bottom)

Milo Chocolate Chip Cake

♡Another milo cake♡

Found the recipe here , but i did some changes to the ingredients, as i dont have self raising flour, so i have used super fined flour instead. I also replaced the sunflower oil with virgin coconut oil ;)

When i post up the photo to fb, a friend asked is the texture like huat-kueh? means发糕,as she saw one of the slices in photo look "rubbery" to her (maybe), and that slice was actually the one from baking tin edge, which to my surprise to see the baking tin "looked so clean" after i took out the cake (except the bottom).

The texture is definitely moist, and abit chewy (same as the original recipe stated), but when comes to the very next morning, the cake become so much lighter, so moist and its so yummylicious. My hubby and daughter love it so much (",) 

I wonder will the cake looks taller if i followed the original recipe, using self raising flour?

Ingredients:
✪ 1 cup super fined flour 特幻粉,原食譜用自發粉
✪ 3/4 cup castor sugar 幻糖
✪ 1 tsp vanilla extract 香草精

✪ 3 tbsp milo powder (milo 粉) 
✪ 1 tbsp cocoa powder 可可粉
✪ 1/2 cup chocolate milk 巧克力奶
✪ 2 eggs 雞蛋

Method:
1) Preheat oven at 180° 預熱烘爐
2) Beat all ingredients together till well mixed. 把全部材料混好
3) Pour batter into baking tin (greased with butter and top with flour) 倒進烤盤
4) Bake for 30minutes or until skewer comes out clean. 烘30分鐘

Yes, that simple ❣ 太簡易了吧,haha ^_^

Bacon Egg Roll

Another lovely breakfast:
❤bacon egg roll❤

I have this original recipe from google, which the recipe only put some spring onion. Since i still have 2slices of bacon left in fridge, i decided to give it a try and created this Bacon Egg Roll ^_^

My hubby went to the nearest shop to help get some carrot and spring onion, but both nearest shops also closed yesterday and today due to raya holiday. So no choice, i can only put in bacon and parsley flakes :)

For cooking, the recipe call for cooking oil, but i have used butter instead, and it certainly taste much nicer ^_^ 
I shall try virgin coconut oil next time, maybe.

Ingredients:
❀ 5 eggs
❀ 2 slices of thick and nice bacon (cut into small pieces)
❀ 1/2 tsp salt
❀ some butter
❀ parsley flakes
(you may add in also carrot and spring onion to make the color combination looks nicer)

Method:
1)  whisk the eggs, add in salt and parsley flakes/carrot/spring onion)
2) heat up a non stick pan, put in small glob of butter to grease the pan
3) sprinkle some bacon into the pan and cook with middle fire, around 1-2minutes.
4) turn the fire to lowest, pour in egg mixture. (not too thin and not too thick)
5) turn your pan around so that the egg mixture cover the pan (form a circle).
6) sprinkle more parsley flakes/spring onion on top
7) stop cooking when you see the egg surface is set
8) carefully put it on a flat surface plate/chopping board
9) repeat step 3-8, until the egg mixture is finished
10) stack up the bacon egg slice by slice (pls refer the last picture at the bottom) 
11) after the last piece is done and stack on top of all the bacon egg slices, roll them up carefully, cut and serve ❣

** remember to add some butter before cooking the bacon if you see the pan looks  abit dry **

Milo Muffin

Milo, a healthy malt drink i have been drinking over 30yrs, and my hubby drinks milo every night before sleep (same goes to my father years ago, but now he is trying to lose weight, heheh).

After falling in love with baking, i started to think what type of cake i can add in milo. So i have found a few recipes, and basically, milo can be added into most of the cakes/muffin/cookies/cheesecake and etc.

For first trial of using milo, i have chosen this: Milo Muffin (i changed the name from milo cake to milo muffin, ermm, just because i used a muffin tray for this, haha)

The baked muffins: if you like milo, trust me, you will eat one after another, and another, and another ^_^


Ingredients: 
- 125g butter
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1/3 cup Milo powder
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 small packet of Milo 125ml
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Method:
1) preheat oven at 180°
2) Melt the butter, beat the two eggs and mix the dry ingredients (flour and milo powder) together.
3) Add the sugar and the beaten eggs, packet milo 125ml, vanilla essence and melted butter to the bowl of dry mixture
4) Stir to combine well. The batter is supposed to come out watery.
5) Grease the muffin tray holes and pour the mixture in till full to get a nice muffin top.
6) bake for 40 minute 



Butterless Chocolate Chip Muffin

Baked these butterless chocolate chip muffins, for SSL 修成林 charity sale (they having this 七月節 one whole month charity sale).


This is the second time i baked for charity, first time was banana and chocolate rice muffin. If to compare both recipe, i would say this butterless chocolate chip muffin is not as good as banana and chocolate rice muffin. The texture is more densed, which i have been told by the fb friend who shared the recipe. 


For this round i was able to contribute only 16 muffins, due to shortage of sugar and flour, arrgghh, i thought i have enough for at least 45 muffins, so i learnt a lesson, always check ingredients stock one day before baking, and always stock up :)



Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour 

• 4 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2 eggs, room temperature 

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup fresh milk

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

• 1 tsp vanilla essense

• 1 cup chocolate chips(i used double color chocolate chip)


Method: 
1) Preheat oven to 170°. 
2) In a mixing bowl, sift in together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon. 
3) In a bigger bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until combined. Mix in milk, oil, and vanilla. 
4) Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix everything together. 
5) The batter will be quite thick and abit lumpy too. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6) Divide batter among prepared muffin cups.
7) Bake at 170° for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 160°.and continue to bake for 20 minutes until tops are lightly golden.

I adore my chiffon cake for veryyyy long before i started to unmould it, and it took me long before i cut the first slice, as its just sooo beautiful, and i never expect such a nice dome, nice face, so smooth, so perfect, and taste? very nice too.

But i think next time i shall use more pandan leaves, or add some pandan emulco/paste to make the cake looks more "greener", yup❣

I think i should give a credit to this blogger since i followed each and every single step, even followed and used my hand to do the mixing:  The Baking Biatch.

Love the hand-mixing part though ;)

Tiger Cake

I have made this a month ago, and i was actually following zebra cake recipe, yet, the first moment bb Megan saw the cake, she straightaway said: "tiger!  Tiger!

Ahhh.... i have made a tiger cake, not zebra. So, this cake is named as: Tiger Cake.

The recipe is same as zebra cake, here.
So, what have i done and made the stripes so differently? the answer is: the spoon i used ^_^

For zebra cake, i have used a normal tablespoon to scoop the batter one spoon by one spoon, yet for tiger cake, i have used a bigger spoon, the spoon that we normally use to drink soup, not those western style mushroom soup spoon, but you can see this kind of spoon come together with noodle soup/bak kut teh.

I was not having much of time and thats why i have used bigger spoon to scoop very big spoonful of batter each time (original & cocoa batter), and that explains how i created the different stripes, haha.
