Steam Chocolate Cake ......my sweet indulgence

I love chocolates! But.....not chocolate flavored food nor desserts. Hence, I hardly incorporate chocolate into my baking and seldom would I opt to bake anything chocolaty. My only interest is to pop the chocolate into my mouth to savor the rich, creamy and melting sensation, plus the sweet aromatic after taste, which I don't get from cakes or pastries. The closest I recall doing was to scoop spoonfuls of milo powder and consume it directly.


After living in Jakarta for some time, I have confirmed through observation that the most widely preferred flavored cakes or dessert are either chocolate or cheese based. Should you want to buy or make a cake for someone here, I strongly suggest to consider chocolate or cheese cake since it will be well accepted.

Today I found a huge block of cooking chocolate while rummaging through my baking supplies. Seeing the product expiry looming near, I decided to use it for baking a cake.  To my surprise, the steam cake turns out moist and fluffy, unlike most of the chocolate cakes I baked

Steam Chocolate Cake

Ingredients (A)
180g butter
120g Castor sugar
200g Evaporated milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp Grand Marnier Cognac (optional)

Ingredients (B)
2 Eggs, Slightly Beaten

Ingredients (C)
100g Cake Flour
50g Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp baking soda


Directions 

• Heat up steamer. Lined a 7 inch round baking pan with baking paper.

• Combine (A) in a saucepan and cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved and butter melted.  Remove saucepan from stove and set aside to cool.

• With a hand whisk, add (B) into the above mixture and mix well.

•  Sift (C) into a mixing bowl, pour the (A) & (B) mixture over the flour and stir until combined. (Note : The batter should be runny)

• Pour the batter into the baking pan. Lightly cover the top with aluminum foil. Transfer the pan into the steamer and set over medium heat for 45 mins.

• Cool the cake completely before turning out

For the Glaze / Finishing

221g cooking chocolate

143g butter, coarsely chopped

1-1/4 tsp corn syrup

40g white cooking chocolate (for marbling)

Directions :  

• Double boil the chocolate, butter and corn syrup in a  heatproof bowl until almost melted. Remove the glaze from the heat and set aside to allow to melt completely. Stir once or twice until smooth. Leave aside to cool until it reached spreadable consistency.

• Transfer 1/4 of the above glaze to another bowl. Use an icing spatula to spread the glaze over the cake. Crumb coat a thin layer over the cake. Refrigerate the crumb coated cake for 5-8 mins.

• In another heat proof bowl, heat the white chocolate over double boiler. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside for later use.

• Reheat the remaining cooking chocolate from earlier until 32 degrees C. Pour / Sieve the warm chocolate through a fine strainer.

• Place the cake on a turntable ( I opted direct method to save time). Pour all the glaze over the cake. Work quickly while turning the turntable and using several strokes, spread the glaze over the cake so that it runs down the sides.

• Drizzle the white chocolate over the top of the cake. Drag through the glaze with a  toothpick or fine art brush to create patterns / designs. I didn't do well on this part as the chocolate glaze dried up to soon before I could complete the pattern.

• Allow the glaze of the cake to set at room temperature. Store at room temperature.                

Dragon Fruit Cream Cheese Bread

Perhaps you might wonder why am I still into baking food I couldn't eat right?  Well,  I guess its probably because a big part of me is still attach to reminisce the taste of it.  The other reason could be due to the availability of getting vegan ingredients here in Jakarta. It is hard enough to find vegan food here, and so far those I managed to locate are either far away in traffic congested areas. I searched throughout the internet for vegetarian restaurants in Jakarta and upon arriving the place, it would either be a disappointed "Shut Down / No longer in business" sign, or, if lucky we landed up in a vegetarian indian restaurant (more like a shabby kopitiam style). There is another vegetarian restaurant chain by the name Dharma kitchen found in many parts of Jakarta with relatively good selection of fusion style vegetarian food. The set back is not all their outlets are restaurants. In Senayan City (the equivalent of Pavilion in KL) they only have a tiny stall on the food court level. Imagine when one go shopping in such premium shopping place, its only natural for my husband to want to enjoy better eating experience being served by waiters rather than having to carry our own tray to queue up to buy 什菜齋饭 from their display of limited choices of precooked vegetarian food. May be not I guess. Recently we located another vegetarian restaurant which we agreed to be fairly decent among those we visited. The food are healthier with minimum oil fried and processed mock meat. The setting is like selling canteen food in a old style kopitiam, no frills, no extras.

Ah yes, the last vegetarian restaurant we visited is by far the most cozy one with ambience  of a decorated Mcdonald's outlet. The main food menu is centered around indian pancakes of various types ranging from roti canai, tossei, friend rice, sizzling fried noodles, vegan burgers, pasta etc. For some food, you have an option to omit garlic, onion, milk, eggs etc etc.  Our verdict, good roti but pricey for 2 piece costing from USD 5-8 (excl tax). Still, I must say its cosy and has the most diners, compared to the numerous we tried. At times, it would only be me and hubby (excluding staff) occupying the entire restaurant.

Now.. back to baking talk.  

From one of my posting last month on Dragon Fruit Chiffon cake? Yup, I have had some leftovers from that batch and instead of making cakes again, I opted to use it on creating bread.

I made these batch of bread with the '汤种' Scalded method.

Dragon Fruit Cream Cheese Bread 

( Recipe enough for 15 - 18 nos of 50g buns)

(A) 汤种 Scalded Dough / Water Roux

• Mix flour and water in a saucepan and stir well with a whisk. Heat up the mixture in the saucepan gradually until temperature reaches 65 C , stirring all the time. Remove the mixture from heat and continue stirring until water roux thicken. Stirring lines should be visible in the water roux.

• Cover the mixture with a layer of cling wrap until it cools down. Store the dough mixture into the fridge for at least overnight. The leftover dough mixture could be kept in the fridge for several days.

(B) Custard / Cream Cheese Fillings
300g Cream Cheese (softened at room temperature) 
90g Castor Sugar
2 regular eggs (lightly beaten , 50g each)
45g Low Protein Flour
30g Butter
240g UHT Strawberry Flavor Fresh Milk

• Combine cream cheese and castor sugar thoroughly with a whisk. 
• Gradually mix in the beaten eggs over few additions.
• Mix in the low protein flour and follow by the milk until combined.
• Transfer the mixture onto a heat proof pan and cook until the mixture thicken. Keep stirring to prevent the mixture from getting burned. Once the mixture start to thicken (not runny) and leave a trail while stirring, remove from heat.
• Stir in the butter until combine. Cover the custard / cream cheese filling with cling wrap and store it in the fridge until it is ready for use later.

(B) Bread

336g High Protein Flour
96g Low Protein Flour
32g Milk Powder
48g Castor Sugar
1 tsp salt
8g Instant Yeast
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Large Egg (slightly beaten Grade A about 60-70g)
80 Water
50g Dragon Fruit (diced)
100g 汤种 Scalded Dough
40g Unsalted Butter 

Directions: 

• In a mixing bowl, combine flour, milk powder, sugar, yeast, vinegar, egg, water and dragon fruit. Mix  with a dough hook until the dough gathers to form a ball.

• Add Water Roux / Scaled Dough and continue mixing until dough gathers together. 

• Add butter and continue kneading for 15-20 mins on medium speed until the dough no longer stick onto the wall of the mixing bowl, or, when performing the window pane test, the stretch dough forms a thin pane without breaking.

• Gather the dough and roll it into a ball and let it proof in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave for 60mins or until doubled in size  at room temperature.

• Remove the dough from bowl and punch down the air. Divide the dough into 50g - 60g portions (up to you). Roll each portion into a small ball, cover and let it proof for 10mins. 

• Flatten each dough and scoop about 25-35g of cream cheese filling and seal the dough to form a round bun.
• Place the buns on a lined baking pan and place another baking sheet and another layer of baking pan directly over it. Proof the dough for 40mins.

• Bake the buns / bread together with baking sheet and pan on top at 170C (Lower tray of the oven) for 20mins or 160C (middle and upper tray of oven) for 15-18 mins. Cool down.

Usually I would store half of the newly bake batch of bread in the freezer while the other half of the bakes for immediate consumption. This is to stop the aging of the dough / bread. The frozen breads can be taken out from the freezer and leave to thaw overnight. Once the bread has thawed or softened, you may toast it or lightly bake it for 5 mins at 120-150C. The bread will still taste as good as a freshly bake one.

Enjoy!

酥碎水蜜桃芝士蛋糕 Crumble Peach Cheesecake....... My distant love

I started baking several years ago with only a couple of baking books as my baking bible. Today I have collected more than 40 books on bread, cakes, pastries, cook books bought through various places and some from a dear old buddy friend Junie from Singapore who went around places to get me the requested books. All thanks to this old time buddy of mine whom I got acquainted while working in Singapore more than 20 decades ago. Although she is a proclaimed non supporter of sweet food nor cakes, cheesecake is something she couldn't add to her 'Dislike' list.

Cheesecake, for some people, is an acquired taste food. You either love or hate it.  I grew up in a pretty traditional environment and my exposure to cakes were mainly birthday sponge cakes dressed with thick layers of cream, chiffon cakes, 发糕, 马来糕, roulette cakes. During then, the most 'happening' cake was Black Forest cake.  Ever since I had my first bite of what cheesecake was like, I never stopped eating them whenever I patronize places or eateries which also serves such wonder. After converting to a full vegan, my love for the taste of cheesecake has slowly ebbed away like a distant memory. Even so, I still got to brace myself to avoid reliving back the old memories whenever I had to bake one. It's one of the very few type of cakes which would ever get neglected when I made one. So far, no one has turned down when I offer them cheesecake.

Yesterday while going through my book shelf, I randomly leaf through some of my older cake book collections and this cake recipe caught my attention. Mainly because I still have a new 500g block of cream cheese bought from my last trip back from KL and with Chinese New Year holiday looming around the corner, I decided to make good use of this cream cheese and turn it into another photography project for my new blog.

Unlike most cheesecake recipe, this recipe called for the making and baking it own biscuit base layer instead of crushing store bought ones. Doing everything from scratch allow you to create your preferred flavor / taste biscuits. Eg. You may add cinnamons, ginger, lemon, chocolate, green tea etc etc while doing your own biscuit layer.

Be prepared to slough an hour or two doing the preparation works. Lots of washing up of measuring cups, equipments to do after that. And when the cake came out well, then you will realize all the hard work paid off.  Go ahead and try it and you will know what I meant.


酥碎水蜜桃互芝士蛋糕
Crumble Peach Cheesecake
(Recipe adapted from Alex Goh's 'In Love With Cakes'

Ingredients 

Biscuit Base (A)
200g Plain Flour
138g Butter (softened, I used salted due to preference)
50g Light Brown Sugar

Cheese Filling (B)
500g Cream Cheese (softened)
100g Icing Sugar (sifted)
20g Corn Flour

(C)
3 Grade B Eggs ( I used Grade A weighing between 65-70g each)
100g Top Whipping Cream 
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice ( I replaced with 1 tsp  Vanilla extract & 1 tbsp orange juice)

(D)
1  Can of canned Peach (drain and cut quartered) 

Crumble Topping (E)
120g Plain Flour
60g Walnut (chopped)
60g Almond (chopped)
78g Butter (softened, I used salted ones)
60g Castor Sugar

Method

Cut out 2 pieces of 9" x 17" aluminum paper and line the sides of the 9" Square baking pan by overlapping each other horizontally and vertically.  This is applicable if you do not own or do not wish to bake using the springform type of baking pan, the extra lengths from the sides will allow easier removal of the cake later on.

Biscuit Base : Preheat oven to 180C. Mix (A) into a smooth dough and press it onto the 9"    baking pan. Press evenly. Poke with fork and bake in the middle rack for 20 minutes.

Cheese Filling : Whisk (B) till fluffy, add (C) and combine well. Pour batter onto the baked biscuit base and arrange the canned peaches (D) onto it.

Crumble Topping : Use fingers to mix (E) till it turn into crumbles. Sprinkle the crumbles on top of the cake. Bake the cake at 150C in oven for 60mins.  I baked for another 5mins as my cake was on the moist side. Remove from oven and allow to the cake to cool down before storing it in the fridge (min 6 hours) or preferably overnight before consuming. 

Note : I did not remove the cake from the pan to  

          help it stay in shape. You may cover the 

         top pan with aluminum wrap to prevent 

         the cake from hardening.

                    

Dragon Fruit Chiffon Cake......another of my random baking experiment

I eat practically most vegetables and fruit, however, dragon fruit somehow didn't get to catch my attention, particularly the red ones. This is also my first time buying the fruit hoping to develop the liking for it. Sadly, after keeping the neglected fruit for several days, I decided to use to for baking rather than allowing the poor fruit to waste away in vain.




Most recipes I searched usually use it for cheesecake, desserts or cake frosting, I was not prepared to spend too much time on making a cheesecake today. Neither do I intend to turn it into cake frosting or dessert when my maid is no longer my lab rat as she has been diligently dieting for the past few months. I can totally understand her reasons since I was the culprit who put her in the inflated state ever since I started baking fervently.

Luckily I still have a group of regular fans from my husband's workplace who used to place order for my previous baking projects. Why projects and not products? Because, I only offer to make them whatever pastries or bakes I never tried making and menu was totally up to me to decide. I am grateful towards their support when they periodically place weekly order and pay with no questions ask. I miss those times :(

Looking back, those were wonderful times. They still ask me when I am reverting back to my mass baking projects every time I visit my husband's office. I politely turn their offer down by occasionally dropping my impromptu cakes or kuihs to the office for their light sampling, I just don't have the time as I did before. 

Nevertheless, bread baking and cooking is still taking place at home, I just don't share my bread recipes nor pictures as regularly as I did on Facebook a year ago. In my opinion, its less time consuming to post and share recipes on Facebook than through a blog, and now after starting updating my blog I couldn't agree more on that. Indeed it is taking much more pictures and time writing and sharing one posting.

Anyway, enough of my lengthy talk. Here is the recipe of my never attempted before cake. The cake is moist and fluffy. Worth a try!

Dragon Fruit Chiffon Cake

( Recipe enough for 2x 20cm Chiffon Mould)

(A)

100g Corn Oil

Pandan Kaya Layer Cake

Following my first successful attempt in making this cake, I only posted a photo of the finished product in my blog without further elaborating upon the process of the making the cake.  Last weekend my god sister from KL came over to visit us and she specifically requested for the recipe for this cake.

Instead of baking her the cake,  we decided to jointly bake the cake together. A great way for her to practice and good company for me when there are too many ingredients to prepare and cleaning works hereafter.

We used the same recipe as per my previous from Kitchen tigress with adaptations in pan size, ingredients quantity and process.

Pandan Kaya Layer Cake

Vegetarian Tom Yum Fried Rice

Hi there,

  

Being a diet conscious enthusiast, rice and many other carbohydrate rich foods were generally not within my food radar albeit I have been a huge fan of them. Unlike many other people, my body just love to keep the extra starch into my body converting it to 'lemak' and then piling onto the most stubborn part of my body ..... hips and heavy bottoms ...ouch! But as age catches up, I learn to let go of the need of preserving my already unredeemable waistline and saggy parts. Ever since then my bodyline happily blooms with every intake of carbo / starch rich food.
It's been almost 3 years since I became a full vegan and stopped consuming garlic, onion, chives, milk, eggs, meat or animal by products. I still cook and bake regular food for the family with the exception that every Monday, 1st and 15th day of the lunar calendar my hubby will observe full day vegetarian diet. He is doing very well so far and even brought packed lunch to work on those days. Reason being, the difficulty in finding eateries selling vegan food within that location .
After trying cooking numerous types of vegan fried rice, yesterday I decided to combine additional sauce and seasoning to the vegetarian Tom yum paste bought from Malaysia.
Here is the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

8 cups cooked and chilled overnight rice ( I use 1/2 brown rice with unpolished organic white rice)
1 yellow capsicum (chopped into small cubes)
1 red capsicum (chopped into small cubes)
50g Vegetarian Pork / Char Siew (Chopped into small cubes)
150-200g red cabbage (sliced into thin strips)
1 cup of frozen peas / vegetables / carrots / corns
1/2pc fresh pineapple fruit (cut into small cubes)
3 tbsp of yellow sultanas
3 tbsp of vegetarian anchovies
4+1 tbsp sesame oil (you may add more for flavor)
2-3 tbsp minced ginger
Red Chili Powder to taste (optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste


Seasoning (To premix and blend together, set aside to use during cooking)
3 Tbsp vegetarian Tom Yum paste
1 Tbsp fermented soy bean paste
3 Tsp Mushroom sauce
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Lemongrass powder
1/2 Tbsp Dark Caramel Sauce (Optional)




Directions :

• Drop 1 tbsp of sesame oil onto the overnight rice, use hand to loosen up the rice while coating it with some oil. Set Aside. 
• In another pot with simmering water, cook the frozen / defrost vegetables for 1 min to soften it. Remove, discard the water and set aside. 
• Mix the above mention seasoning together into a fine paste. Set aside. 
• Heat a wok or a large non stick skillet over high heat. Add sesame oil to the pan followed by minced ginger and sauté under medium heat until fragrant. 
• Toss in the vegetarian pork and stir for a minute followed by the purple cabbage, frozen vegetables, vegetarian anchovies and continue quick stir fry for another min under high heat. Add in the premix seasoning.
• Add rice, capsicums, pineapples, sultanas and continue to stir fry for another 2-3 minutes, reducing the heat to medium / medium low whenever necessary.
• Continue to stir fry until rice is evenly coated and fragrant.
• Salt, pepper and red chill powder to taste.

Tangerines ..... Orange Muffins

 There is a saying 'Time and Tide Waits for No Man' and indeed, the first month of year 2015 just breeze past and now after thinking back, I just don't remember what did I do the past month.  Contrary of what I used to think, the daily life of my non working housewife role has never been as idle as I visualized when I quit my working life of more than 20 years.

Since then I immersed myself completely into learning baking and experimenting lots of recipes shared by many generous bloggers as well as the abundant recipe sharing websites. As of today, I must have tested more than 200 recipes and so far 97% of them rendered good outcomes. But as I ventured further, I began adapting and creating my own recipes with the intention of utilizing whatever ingredients I have on hand, and, also with the intention to have my food photography collection.

With Chinese New Year looming around the corner, mandarin oranges or easily available in all supermarkets as well as the local fruit / grocery store, I decided to try out something orange.......

This recipe is sufficient for an 8 - 9" round cake pan but I opted to bake in muffin cups instead. Reason being, shorter baking time and ease of distributing.

Ingredients :-

250g Cake Flour

3g Salt

15g Baking Powder

150g Castor Sugar

100g Low Fat Milk

140ml Tangerine / Mandarin Orange juice with pulp

Zest from 2 orange

113g Butter (melted and cool)

3 Grade A Eggs

Directions

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees C. Prepare 14-15 medium size muffin cups.
• In a measuring cup, combine milk, orange juice, melted butter, beaten eggs, and orange zest. Set aside.
• Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Mix in sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the orange mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
• Pour batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
