of facebook posts and recipe updates

Everytime a person shares a recipe on facebook, I'd expect the person to make it within a time span of 1 day to 2 weeks maximum. Pictures of dishes well most of them makes you go all hungry all of a sudden even though you just had a hearty lunch/dinner.. Urrgh..

 There would be times I would ask my friend who normally update recipes, have you tried this and that recipe which SHE SHARED on fb.
 The answer would be - NO
 No?..
So you haven't tried making 'em?
 No, I just like sharing it.
 AAAAaaaaaa.. I felt like shooting myself.

 Well, that was the first disclaimer, then others confessed doing the same. Please cook what you have posted, it's similar like practice what you preach.. kihkih Or maybe I am just an emotional blob who is too attached to food.

Steamed chocolate cake

Raya was just so-so for my family.
No kampung to head to, so it was basically just us circling around KL this raya.

Nonetheless, I tried to occupy my time by baking(something that I left several years ago). The baker in me started to creep out. I tried out this recipe for steamed chocolate cake (kek coklat kukus) as I wanted to ensure that the cake would turn out moist even if I served it on the following day.

Here's the recipe. Taken from Cikgu Suraya

Bahan untuk kek coklat.

Bahan A· 1 cawan serbuk koko
· 1 cawan gula pasir 
· 1 cawan susu cair 
· 1 cawan minyak masak 
· 1/2 cawan susu pekat 
Bahan B 
· 11/2 cawan tepung gandum 
· 1 sudu teh bikarbonat 
· 1 sudu teh baking powder 
· 1 sudu teh esen vanilla 
· 3 biji telur (suhu bilik) 

Cara-cara 
1. Masak Bahan A dalam periuk sampai sebati. Allow It to cool. 
2. Pukul telur sampai betul2 kembang kemudian masukkan bahagian A. 
3. Masuk esen vanilla. Pukul sampai sebati. 
4. Masuk bahagian B sedikit demi sedikit. kacau sebati selama 5 minit ++ 
5. Masukkan adunan dalam loyang dan ikat dengan beg plastik.  Papepun pastikan wap air tak boleh masuk dalam adunan. 

6. Kukus for 1 hour. 

Tadaaa. The amazing results which was gone in less than 24 hours. Senang nak buat, senang juga dihabiskan. Huhuuu

 

Verdict: nice, moist when not refrigerated. Simple chocolate cake recipe that I've found so far. Locking this in and  will definitely remake this cake soon. 

Simple bread pudding

Guess who decided to step in the kitchen to cook. Your truly :)

On 10th of Muharam we are encouraged to fast on d day called Asyura day.
"Puasa Asyura menjadi penebus dosa setahun yang telah lewat" (HR Muslim)
InsyaAllah. :)

So, for buka puasa on that day I decided to prep a simple dessert.

So here we go. My simple bread pudding (roti puding)

8 slices of bread - tear them and arrange on baking tray

Ingredients to whisk
1. 3 eggs
2. 4 tablespoon of castor sugar
3. 2 tablespoon of butter
4. 2 tablespoon of flour
5. 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavouring
6. 2 cups of milk

Whisk and pour generously on the bread prepared earlier. Add raisin on top depending on your liking.
 Leave for 10 mins.. I left mine for too long and the results were sloppy.

For the topping. You need to heat
1. A can of evaporated milk
2. 2 tablespoon of sugar
3. 2 tablespoon of custard flour
Stir until it thickens.

The results? Walla!
