I see green everywhere....


Yep... u'll see what i mean...

There are a few things which i am looking forward to this week.. fathers day.. Sonia's new curtains.. macs orders and most of all .. our trip to Malacca... now whats so so special abt this Malacca trip? its like.. i am much more excited abt this Malacca trip then my long haul trips lol.. the thing is.. the whole family is going and hb has booked us into the newest hotel belonging to the same group as the Concorde Hotel KL... cant wait to see how the Cheng Ho Suite is gonna look like... its gonna be fun.. its gonna be one crazy weekend with my family!



Anyway i still hv two more days bef our short gateaway so lets not get too excited... you see the cake abv? i only hv two words for u girls and guys out there... BAKE IT.. BAKE IT.. BAKE IT!! its worth every effort.. its worth every cent of ur money.. super yummy.. super moist.. super melt in ur mouth... u wont believe if i tell ya how many of these have melted in my mouth muahahha.. awesome recipe is fm mbak Sheryl.. ty ty.. cakenye rasa mantap and lembut banget!!




Ingredients (for one cake layer)
7 egg yolks
3 egg whites
125g sugar
1 tsp emulsifier
1 tbsp SKM (susu kental manis aka condense milk)
60g flour
20g cornflour
1 / 2 tsp baking powder
100g melted margarine - i used unsalted butter and add 1/2tsp salt)
vanilla essence / pandan paste / mocca coffee paste
jam / buttercream as fillings - i used raspberry jam



Method
- Preheat the oven 175C... grease 10x10" pan.
- On a stand mixer.. whisk eggs, sugar, emulsifiers, vanilla essence and SKM until fluffy.
- Add in sifted flour, cornstarch and baking powder to beaten eggs, mix well.
- Fold in melted margarine and stir well.
- Pour batter into pan and bake it for abt 20 mins until its done
- Bake using the same recipe and method for the other two layers wokey!

How to:
Place vanilla cake with skin cake at the bottom.. spread jam, top with pandan cake, spread another layer of jam and top with mocca cake. Allow ur cake to sit for a while in ur fridge.. slice into squares..



Tips:
-make sure the beaten egg benar2 fluffy
-when mixing flour, use speed no 2 / medium to be well mixed.
-when mixing the margarine, make sure its mix properly, because if not it will settle at the bottom and the cake became bantat.
-This dough can also be used as swiss rolls.



Bef i get on with my baking.. thought id show u pics of sonia and her new bicycle... Ever since we got her the bicycle.. shes been riding on it non stop.. yesterday i didnt hv the time to take her out for her rounds and what did she do?? she cycled up and down our living area and wud stop every few mins to repair her bicycle hehehe

Princess Sonia going to Malacca. Make sure you go for river cruise, going up into Taming Sari Tower, go for Duck Ride, Crossing Malacca river by rope etc,.. Definitely Sonia will love it.

I took my family end of last month. They enjoy it very much. Oh! don't forget to have Assam Pedas.

Please sow us the Cheng Ho Suite.

SU said...

Rima said...

Ratna
Waduhhhh mbakkk.. kepinggin lagi.. harus di derap 3 dehhh kalau tidak mana bisa dapat kek sebesar gitu.. bake yah mbak.. jgn tak bake.. pokok nya rasanya makyus dehhh hahaha

Rima said...

Babe
This cake sungguh muai i tell u.. cuma pakai 21 eggs.. u dont hv to throw away too many egg white pong cos it uses 9 egg whites in total.. yg lain u can try ur hands on macs ah.. bake it ok and lepas tu boleh kasi ur makcik mulat makan.. kan dah nak masuk weekend kannn hehehe

I will definately gv my review next week on the cheng ho suite.. we also take another connection room.. akan ku tahan semua orang jng masuk bilik .. biar mak ambik gambo dulu ahakss

Rima said...

Aziah
Nanti if u balik malaysia boleh lah u beli stock emulsifier ke.. ovalette ke.. for now if u tak de.. u can tambah kan egg yolks in ur cake.. how many i am not too sure.. maybe 3 more egg yolks?? u try ok..

I much prefer yg pakai grams cos more acurate.. buy a digital one .. its worth it.

Rima said...

Emma
Yes u hv to buat 3 kali of the recipe given..

Egg yolks tu dah berapa lama u simpan?? i ever used egg yolks yg dah 3 hari dalam fridge to bake kek lapis.. jadi nye sempurna ajer.. alhamdullilah

Rima said...

Shal
Yep thats the hotel.. supposed to open last march then tak jadi.. finally they open it last month.. so typical my hb who is so so into hotels.. he has to check it out.. tu yg dia booked the cheng ho suite.. we also booked the connecting room to fit everyone together..

Sonia actually dah byk kali gi malacca.. cuma tak pernah tido sana .. for me i think dah more than 10yrs tak tido kat malacca.. usually kita pergi malacca either bef kita gi KL or bila balik KL on our way back to Sg... harus makan itew asam pedas bef balik sg hehehe

Rima said...

Shal
Lupe.. yes u hv to do three times of the recipe to get three layers.. one recipe u add vanilla essence.. another batch u add pandan paste and another batch u add mocca paste.. if u dont like mocca u can also change it to chocolate paste..

Rima said...

KNor
Bake lah.. very easy and sedap.. if u bake lagi mata ku terjuling air hehehe

Rima said...

Mas
Ratu kek lapis tak nak ah.. ratu singapura boleh tak?? muahahha.. ferasannn

Rima said...

Su
If u dont hv it u add more egg yolks into ur recipe.. emulsifier tu untuk melembut kan lagi ur cake..

Its not cheng ho hotel dear.. its casa del rio

Rima said...

KUmmi
Ty ty.. i think itew jonker street dari Rima anak dara.. sampai lah dah jadi mak dara..memang tempat fav.. teringat waktu kecik kecik dulu.. my grandmother bawak kita gi sana dgn kereta mini dia hehehe.. i think we were only 3 yrs old.. eh eh macam umur dak sonia ni lah..

zarin said...

uh huh....nanti nanti akanku bake ini cake..tengok pun dah terasa rasa nak makan nih ;-)
klakar la sonia n her new bike tu...kejap kejap repair ye..apa yg rosak tu? hihi

Rima said...

Zarin
Tak tahu lah apasal dia suka repair repair benda.. dari umur dia 2yrs old dia dah mintak tool box.. if besok besar dia suka repair repair bagus tu.. mama dia tak yah tunggu papa dia to fix the things at home

Bake ok.. its worth the try.. :o)

Kak Am said...

cantiknya kek rima & nmpk sedap gitu..!

Arina said...

Your cake looks awsome...with nice colours. Rima guna warna jenis apa ya? Is powdered colours more recommended for baking? Akak try buat macarons smlm, ermmm....almost 3 times repeating nearly the whole lots buang...asyik cracking dan senget...bila lah Rima nak buka class ye???...

THE DUO said...

Hi Kak Rima,

Wah best la nak p holiday kat Melaka. Dah lama x pegi Melaka. Nak cerita sikit nih. Suzy ada try buat Nutella Marble last Sunday tapi kan tak jadi macam Kak Rima punye la.....:o(
Rasanya memang sedap, mungkin x beat fluffy kot.......Nanti saya akan cuba lagi. Lapis trio ni pun akan ku cuba juga...

LOL,
Mika+Suzy

Rima said...

Kak Am
Try buat lah kak.. memang sedap banget cake ni :o)

Rima said...

KArina
Adehhhh memang tak reti nak jadi teacher .. nanti bila kita ngajar semua anak murid tido hehehe..

I didnt use any colouring pun in this cake.. green is fm pandan paste.. brown is fm cuppucino+chocolate paste (tu pun cos ku kehabisan mocca paste)

Macs tu memang naughty.. harus keep on practise ok... dont gv up hope.. maybe u shud try to lower the oven temp.. right now most of the time Rima pakai 130C

Rima said...

Mika
Buat lagi ok.. that nutella cake memang sedap.. i baked it waktu raya haji dulu.. laku macam goreng pisang panas hehehe.. if u wanna try and bake this cake.. harus hati hati waktu u fold in ur melted butter.. make sure ur melted butter betul betul sejuk bef u add it to ur batter ok..

Anonymous said...

Hi rima, thanks for baking macs for me before u go malacca. U know what, half of the macs tt i ordered frm u dah abis in the car itself. Blum pun sampai rumah, baru separuh jalan aje. Heheh. My kids just couldnt stop eating ur macs until i had to tell them to stop and save the rest for tomorrow. And thanks also for the layer cake yg u bagi i rasa. Its really yummy and mcm tak cukup, nak lagi. Hehe. Anyway, nice meeting u for the first time. Insyll will order again frm u. Ok haf a safe journey to malacca.

hai kak rima! =)

im a super duper huge fans of kek lapis. my 1st kek lapis turns out perfectly (i used ur recipe). it makes me happiest girl alive.lol

mind if i ask?
1)what is the difference using golden churn butter and unsalted butter?is it the texture of the cake?

2)does the amount of the egg yolks actually makes the cake softer and yummier? if that so, what will happen if i use 25egg yolks if the recipe only use 15egg yolks?is it ok?
