I am a little frustrated with myself lately.. everything seems to go haywire.. I had baked 100 pcs of macs yesterday for a few orders where I am not that happy with the end product.. had used hazelnut and for whatever reason the shells didnt look as pretty as i want them to be.. so first thing tmrw i will hv to bake a few batches of it and hope that it will turn out perfect.. another minor incident happened to me earlier today.. i burnt my index finger while cooking caramel sugar. tsk tsk.. now i hv to type using one hand.. :o(
Today was my stitches off day.. we decided not to go to the polyclinic but instead go to a private GP.. we later found out fm the doc that the stitches that were done on me was not proper and will leave a permanent scar.. hb said the bottom part was done neatly but the top part doesnt seems to heal properly simply bec the &^%*((* doc didnt sew it together but instead overlapped my skin.. grrrr
HB gave me that cringe look when the doc showed him my scar.. the top part has not healed properly! i dont even know how it looks like now.. all i know it was bloody painful when he took the stitches off - reason being.. the hospital doc shud hv given me an earlier appt and not wait till 2wks to take it off.. was too late! sigh i wonder if its normal to feel painful cos right now i need a painkiller badly!
Ok ok lets not talk abt my frustration.. as u can see fm the pic abv that today i did this kuih on Sonia's request.. she calls it.. purple apom hahaha.. she even choose all the colours this time round and she loves em.. guess what she said to me the moment she had a bite.. "thank you mama.. i like purple apom" hehehe.. my pleasure dear..
Besides snow white apam i also managed to bake this cake.. dont ask me how it tastes like cos i hv not had any time to munch on this cake.. all i know both
Jun and
Wendy loved it! ty both for sharing it with us..
IngredientsCream cheese mixture
125g cream cheese
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Cake batter
120g butter
120g soft brown sugar - i used dark brown sugar and hence the colour hehehe
2 eggs
½ tsp vanilla extract
140g all purpose flour
1/ 2 tsp baking powder
200gm raspberries and strawberries - i used strawberries
Method1. Rinse fruits and set aside to air dry.
2. Fully line a 8 inch shallow square pan with overlapping baking paper.
3. Preheat oven to 160(fan)/180C.
4. Sift flour with baking powder, set aside.
5. Beat cream cheese, vanilla and sugar until creamy, put into a plastic bag.
6. Cut the strawberries and tear raspberries into halves.
7. Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
8. Add in eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract.
9. Put in half of sifted flour and beat until combined and beat in the balance of flour.
10. Put 40% of the batter into the lined pan, spread it around.
11. Snip a corner (abt 8mm) off the plastic bag with cream cheese in it. Squirt ½ the cream cheese all over the spread out batter.
12. Arrange half the fruits over the batter. Gently press them in.
13. Dollop remaining batter over fruits, press and spread the batter over the fruit.
14. Squirt the balance of cream cheese over cake and arrange the balance of fruits. Gently press the fruits in.
15. Bake for 35 minutes or until skewer comes out clean.
Do not keep it at room temperature for more than 24 hours. It contains cream cheese and you better chill it to prevent it from turning bitter and bad. Warm it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds, and the cake is very nice when eaten warm.
