聖誕北海道蛋糕 Christmas Hokkaido Cake

2014 Christmas, i baked this christmas theme cake, using the 6-houses silicon mould that i have bought quite some time ago. Come to think of it, i seriously dont think im going to use the mould again until.... next christmas? haha...

I love the cakes, as using hokkaido cake's recipe, the soft and fluffy texture just making all of us love it so much even without piping in any cream, and it taste so much nicer after chilled ^___^

Buttercake with Poppyseed-Blue

After 10mths of baking, only i realized i never bake any butter cake before. Hmm... how come ya? As a newbie in baking, knowing that buttercake and chocolate cake have always been the very first few cakes to try: as its easy. But not me ^_^ haha

After knowing PJ A&W will be closing down by end December 2014, me and a bunch of old schoolmate been thinking: its time for us to gather there, to bring back some good old times together. Yaaaa, after 2 months of ding dong ding dong, finally we fixed it: 20/12/14. 

So, thinking to bring some cakes or cookies as none of them have tried my baking before (they only can see it from my facebook haha), but still, what to bake for them?

Due to the very last minute decision to bake, and looking at my fridge/kitchen, i can bake some cookies, so i start looking at cookies recipe happily, but wait, i have no small container to bring out, not even any ziplock bag. So, best is to bake a cake, as i stil have one unused box, and i suddenly recall that i have actually never bake a butter cake before,  and looking at the poppyseed that i have bought couple months ago, i finally get a chance to use it ^_____^

Ingredients:

✿ 250g butter 

✿ 1tbsp golden syrup

✿ 1tsp vanilla essence

❀ 230g all purpose flour

❀ 1tsp baking powder

 ✾ 5 eggs

✾ 170g caster sugar

♥ 20g poppyseed-blue

Method:

2) sift in both ❀

3) beat both ✾ together, until its pale in color

4) combine both egg mixture & butter mixture

5) Add in poppyseed, combine well

6) bake in preheated oven at 160°c for 55minutes - 1hour

Butter Choc Muffin (mini chocolate lava cake)

這是自己誤打誤撞弄出來的食譜。。因為要弄大的chocolate lava cake, 結果lava 太lava (看圖), 在沒有mood 弄下去之時，就決定嘗試弄小小muffin, 但我的muffin tray 小，所以想到裏面的巧克力'岩漿'不能多。

結果哩？外表沒什麼，但裏面有少許的chocolate lava, 是剛好我要的texture哦。。

最後吃了2.5粒，肥死。。。。 內疚死！！

1) double boil to melt butter + chocolate
2) beat all ❀ till fluffy
3) add in melted ✾

Refer here for recipe of the cake. Instead of using lemon pudding, this time i have used peach slices (cut from peach halves), and strawberries (with apricot glaze). I have used the apricot glaze a layer on the cake top before arranging the peach flower.
