HOW TO MAKE AN OMBRE RUFFLES CAKE


As Salam...hari ini tak ada resipi. Saya cuma nak berkongsi apa yang saya pelajari dari kunjungan saya ke pameran pengatin baru-baru ini yang dianjurkan oleh Krangkraft. Menarik terdapat demostrasi membuat ruffles cake menggunakan fondant. Mudah membuatnya..apa yang penting memerhatikan teknik memasang ruffles to pada cake.

Sebenarnya kalau diteliti rasanya ini merupakan berita baik bagi mereka yang menyukai fondant tetapi selalu gagal untuk menghasilkan permukaan fondant yang lincin. Cara ini dapat menutupi kelemahan pada kek dan kek nampak cantik lagi kelas. Demostrasi ini dibuat oleh seorang peserta pameran tapi malang saya hilang kad..tuan punya badan. Saya suke cara membuat  fondant ini..dan takut method ini hilang begitu aje jadi saya rekodkan step by step cara dan harap tuan punya badan kek ini dapat menghalalkanya..ya..

Saya juga sertakan video dari youtube yang boleh membantu anda....Selamat mencuba dan harap ini dapat memenafaati semua.

CHICKEN KABSAH RICE


Entah kena apa sejak dua menjak ini saya semacam ketagih dengan masakan arab....ha..ha..kebetulan duduk di area Ampang ni banyak restuarant Arab..memberi kesempatan pada saya merasa dan balik membuatnya. Berpandukan dengan deria rasa dan you tube saya sudah dapat menghasilkan masakan ini. Sebenarya Nasi Ayam kahsah ini mudah membuatnya..berbanding dengan briyani..bahanya mudah dan bajetnya pun tidak mahal. resipi menggunakan rempah yang sentiasa ada dirumah..banyak menggunakan jintan.

Saya banyak membuat olahan sendiri bagi menyesuaikan dengan tekak kita. menu Arab ni tidak seperti menu kita yang banyak berkuah. nasi ini dimakan dengan salad timun dan sambal tomato diblend dengan cili ijo...cukup mudah..semudah kita membuat nasi ayam kita.

COCONUT LAYER CAKE


Saya sudah lama berhajat hendak membuat kek ini. mula-mula terpandang dalam rancangan Martha Stewart..salin dan simpan. Reason sebab saya tidak pernah terjumpa coconut flake yang diperlukan dalam resipi ini, kalau kelapa kering biasa tu memang mudah dapat di mana-mana pasaraya..yang kepingan ni memang susah. Alhamdulillah sibuk memborang perkakaskuih sempena aidil fitri baru ini terpandang pada coconut flakes ini terus beli..tetapi tidak terus buat..ialah bulan puasa takkan hendak buat kek macam ni...kesempatan aidil fitri memberi ruang pada saya untuk mencuba kek ini.

Kek ini sama seperti kek biasa..cuma yang memberi kelainanya adalah pada filing dan frostingnya. Biasalah apa-apa resipi yang meletakkan kelapa pastinya lemak dan sedap. Sudah tahu caranya dan sudah tahu rasanya..insyallah mungkin ke depan ingin saya olahkan sedikit dengan memasukkan santan serbuk...untuk mendapatkan kelemakan pada kek.

Wake Cake with Coconut Filling and Frosting
Ingredients

For the cake
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the filling
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 seven-ounce package sweetened, shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the frosting
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
For the garnish
  • Sweetened, shredded coconut

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour three 9 x 2-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with waxed paper.
2. In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flours and add in four parts, alternating with the milk and the vanilla extract, beating well after each addition. Divide the batter among the cake pans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.

Make the filling

1. In a medium-size saucepan, whisk the milk with the sugar and the flour until thoroughly combined. Cook and stir constantly over medium-high heat (about 5 minutes) until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat and add the coconut. Stir in the vanilla extract. Cover and cool to room temperature.
2. When the coconut cake has cooled, spread half the filling between the first two layers of cake, then the other half between the second and third layers. The cake should be assembled so it can be iced as soon as the frosting is completed.

Make the frosting

1. In an electric mixer bowl, combine the egg whites and the vanilla extract and set aside. In a medium-size saucepan over high heat, combine the water with the sugar and the cream of tartar. As the mixture begins to bubble at the edges, stir once to make sure the sugar is dissolved completely, then let it come to a rolling boll (about 2 to 3 minutes) and remove immediately from the heat.
2. Now, in a medium-size bowl, on the medium-high speed of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and the vanilla extract with the whisk attachment until foamy, about 1 minute.
3. Without turning off mixer, pour the sugar syrup into the beaten egg whites in a thin, steady stream. Continue beating constantly, on medium-high speed, for about 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form but the frosting is still creamy. Frost top and sides of cake immediately. Generously sprinkle top with shredded coconut.

BANANA DREAM CAKE


Mencari resipi kek pisang..saya terjumpa resipi ini...sungguh sedap..lembap...lembut dan memuaskan. Resipi ini menggunakan applesauce. Secara tidak langsung saya terpaksa berlajar membuat applesauce sendiri kerana tidak ada ready applesauce yang saya jumpai.

Applesauce digunakan dalam resipi ini untuk mengekalkan kelembapanya. Dari kajian yang saya buat..applesauce adalah gantian minyak yang sihat untuk kek ini. Resipi ini menggunakan cheese frosting sama frosting yang digunakan untuk carrot kek. menambahkan keenakan pada frostingnya saya taburkan serbuk kayu manis. Ini bukan sahaja menambahkan keenakan malah menaikkan aromanya.

Untuk membuat applesauce sendiri sila klik ini - http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/applesauce/




Banana Dream Cake
 
Ingredients
For the cake:

3/4 cup butter
2 1/8 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
4 oz applesauce
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup mashed over ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)

For the frosting:
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 (12 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
5 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cinnamon, for sprinkling

Directions:
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 8-inch round cake pans. In a small bowl, mix mashed bananas with lemon juice, set aside. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and 2 1/8 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla, sour cream and applesauce. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Stir in banana mixture.

Divide batter (about 2 1/2 cup batter in each pan) into prepared pans. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove pans from oven and immediately place in freezer for 45 minutes. (This keeps the cake moist by immediately stopping the baking so the cake does not continue to bake when you remove it form the oven.)

For the frosting: In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Add confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed until combined, then on high until frosting is smooth. Assemble the 3 layers with a thick layer of frosting in between each layer. Then apply a thin crumb coat on the top and sides. Pop back in the freezer to harden the crumb coat for about 10 minutes. Then apply a thick even layer around the outside of the cake. Sprinkle on a little cinnamon around the outside and store in the fridge until ready to serve


ONION BHAJI


Onion Bhaji ini adalah snack atau appetizer yang popular di India, banyak disediakan di restaurant India. Saya memang cukup mengemari onion bhaji ni..paling seda yang saya rasakan ialah di Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman..tak kala Ramadan. Terdapat seorang lelaki tua berketurunan Punjabi..menjualnya di kaki lima. Memang sedap onion bhajinya..dicicah dengan sos asam.

Untuk menambahkan keenakkan bhaji ini saya masukkan hirisan cili hijau ....cukup enak.


Onion Bhaji

Ingredients
2 large onions, sliced thinly
200 g chickpea flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons rice flour
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon black onion seeds
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin, ground
1/2 teaspoon coriander, ground
1 egg
salt
100 ml water

750 ml vegetable oil

Directions:


Put the vegetable oil into a large pan and heat over a medium to high heat.

Make the batter: 
In a large bowl, add the chickpea flour, baking powder, rice flour, turmeric, black onion seeds, chili powder, cumin, coriander,egg, salt and the water. Mix together well and then add the sliced onion - mix the onion through until well coated.


Check the temperature of the oil by dropping a small cube of bread in - it should brown fairly slowly - not burn or go dark brown straight away.


Carefully drop spoons of the bhaji batter in to the oil, do NOT overcrowd as they will stick together. Fry them in small batches for 1 to 2 minutes until they are a golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and allow them to drain on a paper

 covered plate in a warm oven.

Repeat until all the bhaji batter is finished and they are all cooked.

Sprinkle over a little salt and serve straight away with coriander chutney or cucumber raita.

Selalu sangat membuat kek cokolat hitam..kali ini terpanggil pula hendak mencuba membuat kek menggunakan cokolat putih. Resipi saya dapati dari Australia Woman's Weekly Magazine. Bahan yang digunakan mudah dan cara membuatnya juga mudah. Paling menarik kalau dapat cokolat putih berquality tinggi.

3 eggs
fresh roses, for decorating

white chocolate ganache
¾ cup (180ml) cream

BASIC MERINGUE KISS



As Salam...akhirnya dapat juga mencuba resipi ini...sudah lama berhajat membuatnya..dan sudah banyak resipinya saya kumpul dan sudah banyak youtube yang saya tonton cuma kesempatan membuatnya aje yang tak ada. Comel cookies ni..dan sekarang ni menjadi trend dimasukkan ke dalam balang untuk meja dessert memang cantik...seperti macaron cookies ini diperbuat dari putih telur, bahanya putih telur dan gula aje..rasanya seakan-akan cotton candy ball..ranggup gula yang dibakar. 

Saya sediakan di sini simple basic resipi tetapi kalau yang berhajat membuat pelbagaian seperti coffee atau chocolate..bolehlah tambahkan bahan tersebut. Untuk resipi ini kalau berhajat dengan perisa kopi masukkan 2 sdt serbuk coffee biasanya di sini kita gunakan nescafe..bancuh bersama 2 ml air...manakala kalau yang berhajat dengan chocolate masukkan 1-2 sdt serbuk koko...semuanya dimasukkan apabila putih telur ini sudah kental.

Cookies ini boleh dihidangkan begitu aje..tetapi kalau yang hendakkan filling bolehlah di"sandwichkan" macam membuat macaron..boleh guna nutella atau cokolat masakan. memang cute dan sesuai untuk majlis yang bertema..kerana cookies ini mudah dipadankan....





MERINGUE KISS

4 large egg whites / 4 biji putih telur
1 cup sugar / 1 cawan gula
pinch cream of tartar / secubit krim of tartar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract / 1/2 sdt vanilla

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 175°F. / Panaskan ketuhar 175 F


Prep a pastry bag with a large star tip or if piping bags are not your style, cut a half-inch in diameter opening in the corner of a zip top bag. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats. /  Siapkan piping beg dan dulang pembakar yang dials dengan parchment paper supaya tidak melekat


Combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tarter (you can omit the cream of tartar if using a copper bowl) in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. / Satukan putih telur, gula dan krim of tartar. Renehkan atas double boiler sehingga gula hancur.


Whisk constantly over the water until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is warm to the touch (roughly 3-4 minutes). / Kacau sehingga gula hancur.


Then remove from heat and beat the whites with a hand mixer or your stand mixer, starting on low speed and gradually increasing until stiff, glossy peaks form. Add the vanilla and mix to combine./ Alihkan dari api dan pukul, bermula dari speed rendah sehingga speed tinggi. Pukul sehingga menjadi soft peak dan bertanduk





Sift the cocoa over the meringue to break up any lumps and then fold until no streaks remain. Add the mixture to your pastry bag and pipe rows of quarter sized meringues onto the pans. / Kalau ingin menambahkan perisa boleh dimasukan apabila adunan sudah kental. Boleh campurkan perisa kopi, koko atau diwarnakan mengikut kegemaran anda



Insert in piping bag...with star tips/ Masukkan dalam piping dengan menggunakan acuan bintang atau bulat.



 Bake for 2 hours, until they lift from the pan easily. Allow to cool completely./ Pipe seperti digambar di atas dan bakar selama 2 jam.

To sandwich, melt a few ounces of your favorite chocolate and fill a zip top bag. Cut a small opening and pipe small blobs of chocolate onto each cookie. Given their awkward shape, this is best done with the meringues upside down on a baking rack. Allow the chocolate to cool for about 10 minutes and then top with a second cookie. Allow the filled cookies to sit for a couple hours or until the chocolate has set completely and then store in an air tight container for up to two days.
