Tiramisu mit Naruto

Tiramisu is Italian rite? und Naruto ist Japanese...Where they met? In my Tiramisu cake :DD... this cake was ordered by Dhito's Mum for her son 3rd birthday. Dhito loves Naruto and requested Naruto image for his birthday cake. So, since edible image doesn't fit well with whipped cream and frigde, I make the Naruto image from buttercream using transferred-buttercream method. I'll try but not promise that someday I'll show you the method step-by-step if I could manage some time to do so :p...Pray for me please....

Dhito was soooooo pleased with the Naruto and the cake, of course.....
But, I'm not so satisfied with my work bcoz I think Naruto's eyes was a bit pale.... Haiyaaaaa.... The whipped cream was too pale for celebrating such an energetic young boy birthday (Hiks....I'm so cursed in making kids birthday cakes!!)

On the other hand, I love the sides....I used Wilton's scrapper... Nice scrapper really....(try to comforting myself "wink")

In conclusion, everybody's satisfied and I think I should do the same... 'LOLTF'

"Happy Birthday Dhito"

Caramel Cake

It's one of old fashioned Indonesian-traditional-cakes. I got this recipe from Mbak Rita. She's not only giving me d recipe but the tricks how to make it rite as well. The tricky part in making this cakes is to get the sponge-texture-like. This cake is a bit chewy and the sweetness of caramel makes you want more... Give it try for yourself..

Mbak Rita’s Caramel Cake

Ingredients

- 325 g sugar

- 325 ml hot water

- 50 g butter

- 1/2 can (150 ml) sweet condensed milk

- 2 t baking powder

- 6 large eggs

Sift:

- 200 g cake flour

- 1 t bicarbonate soda

- 1/4 t salt

- 1/4 t vanilla powder

Directions:

1. Melt the sugar in low heat until caramelized. Add water and continue boil until caramel thoroughly dissolved. Remove, cooled.
2. Combine butter, milk, and baking powder. Beat until white and fluffy. Set aside.
3. Beat eggs until just incorporated (*see NOTE). Add dry ingredients alternately with caramel and DO NOT stop beating in low speed.
4. Add butter&milk mixture. Beat well. (*The mixture is not thick but still liquid-like) Pour into 22 cm well greased and floured tulban tin.
5. Bake for 60 mins in 180C oven.

NOTE:

• Heat sugar in very low heat for getting a nice and good caramel. High heat would burn the caramel and could be such a waste.
• Pour the water into caramel with extra caution. It would spark if you pour the water at once. Wait until the caramel has dissolved then stir gently until caramel completely dissolved.
• Use only HOT WATER!!!
• Beat eggs just till just incorporated, NO NEED to beat it until fluffy. By doing this you will got those beautiful pores like sponge inside the cake.
• Leave the cake +/- 10 mins in the prepared tin before being baked.
• If the cake surface already brown before its time, put a piece of foil to cover the cake to prevent it from burnt.

Casablanca

AngelFood-Pandan Cake

You could find the recipe here. Since Angel food is a bit tricky to make, need a lot of effort to loose it from ungreased tin. I choose a better medium to make it...A silicon bundt mould. No need to grease or line the mould, just pour in the batter, after baked, shake a lil bit and it turns out beautifully. Enjoy...

The Swirly Cuppies

Ice Cream Topping Like

three Roses

Slightly Pink with Dragges

Hearty Sprinkle Cuppies

Roses R Pink

The simplest cake deco idea for birthday cake... simplicity surely is beautiful. I made this cake as a request from my friend for his 12-y.o. cousin. The cake is Moist Chocolate Cake filled with Strawberry Ganache and topped with whipped cream. The roses and leaves are made from butter cream.

Barbie Cake

It's been ages since I bought the special cake-tin for Barbie Cake from Edi Loyang-Mayestik. But, the opportunity never come to me until a week ago when my eggs-supplier asked me to make a doll cake for her daughter birthday. It's a pro-bono project nonetheless the effort was premium. From 0 to 9 scale... I gave 9.5!! The problem was I never play dolls especially Barbie during my childhood (I prefer climbing up the trees hahahaha... :D) so I have no idea what kind of princess Barbie is... Searching on the net and

kids books which borrowed from my little nieces, and lots of sketches on my scrap book... Here is the result... What do you think?

For myself as a beginner of cake decorations, I think it's quite good hehehehe...(sounds narcisstic? well, I am ;p)

Zebra Cake I

This is my first attempt in making Zebra Cake. The reason why this cake is called so, I think it's because of its pattern. A bit tricky to make as you need to pour cake mixture. Recipe will be upload later hehehehe

Japanese Cheese Cake

I've been fiddling on this recipe for several times and finally got the rite combination without wasting any ingredients like in the original recipe stated. I wrote down the original in usual characters and italic the modification that I've made. The recipe is from Yasaboga Cheesecake's Recipes Book.

This cheesecake is one of the favourite cake in my family as well as other Rea's Cake friends. It has cottony textures enriched with a hint of lemon and the thing that make it more great is the " nyessss" sound when you take a bite of this cake... Like having a piece of cloud or something totally smooth :p (well, I think I'm not good in describing it hehehehe...hmmph, I've tried to REALLY!! :p). In the nutshell, this cake is absolutely CRAVIOUS :D

Finally, here is the recipe

Mix and sift:
50 g cake flour
50 g cornstarch

Ingredients:
60 g unsalted butter
250 g cream cheese, at room temperature
120 ml whipping cream
3 yolks ( I use 5 yolks)
1 egg (whole)
2 t grated lemon rind
5 egg whites
1/8 t salt
125 g castor sugar
1 t lemon juice

Topping:
2 Tbsp apricot glaze or jam warmed with 2 T water
or decorate with fresh fruit and whipped cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare a round spring form pan (22 cm diameter), line with parchment paper and grease with butter or margarine. Heat the oven at 150C.
2. Put together in a medium sauce-pan: butter, cream cheese and whipping cream. Cook on low heat, stir until soft and well blended, removed from heat.
3. Add flour mixture, stir well. Add yolks and whole egg, blend well. Add grated lemon rind, stir. Set aside.
4. Beat the egg whites until frothy, pour in sugar and lemon juice gradually while continue beating until it forms soft peaks. (Remember: DO NOT reach PEAK form)
5. Spoon 1/3 of egg-whites batter into cream cheese mixture, gently combine. Fold-in gently cream cheese-batter to remaining egg whites, blend well.
6. Pour batter into round spring form pan, bake au-bain-marie (water bath) for approximately 75 minutes until the surface is golden yellow. Remove from oven, let cool on a rack. (I usually just turn off the oven and let the door open so the cake won’t confront a drastic temperature which could cause a dramatically cake-sinking-like)
7. After it is completely cooled, invert the cake, transfer cake onto plate. Mix apricot glaze/jam and water, heat until well blended and easy to brush onto cake. Brush the cake surface with this glaze, let cool.

P.A.P.A

Do you like APPLES? well, honestly I don't. Eating apples (read: fresh apple) could be a thing with enormous effort to do, really!. Fortunately (or I should write UN-42nately??..no room for pesimistic here..sorry :p), I always happened to get a bunch of apples in my house whenever I held a ceremony or spiritual ritual here in Bali. Apples are the-must-bring-fruit in the offerings that we -Hindu's believers- bring to the shrine.

Anyhow, let's back to the apples... Despite of my less-fondness of eating fresh apples, I love to eat APLLE PIE..yes, I do LOVE it!! what a contradiction huh? As my not-too-bother habit always won in every occasions, I make this kind of apple pie with KISS method (Keep It Simple Stu*&d) hehehe.. Oh yes, before I forgot to write down what P.A.P.A means in order to satisfying some friends' curiousness...Hmmpph..P.A.P.A is stand for Phyllo Apple Pie-Almost hehehe.. Well, it's almost a pie don't u think? This kinda pie never failed in positioning me as the Domestic Goddess in my home of course hehehehe...(doooohhh....exaggerating OMG!! :p)

This P.A.P.A is EXTREMELY easy to make, all you need is 5 apples (any kind of apples is great to work on this pie but I prefer Granny Smiths), peeled, cored, cutted into 1x1x0.5 cm size, put it in a large boiling-pan, add 10 cm cinnamon stick, 1.5 cups of water, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice from 1/2 slice of lemon, put the skin altogether, 10 cloves, 4 tbsp sugar if u use Granny Smith, add 1 or 2 tbsp more), Bring all the ingredients to boiled and add 1.5 - 2 tbps corn flour mixed with 3 tbsp of water. Cook until the sauce is thick like jam texture. Set aside and cool. Hint: u could make this one day ahead.

Don't stop reading please...it's not over yet...

lightly greased 12-large muffin tin with melted butter or oil, you'll also need about 200 gr phyllo pastry, 2 heapfull butter, melted; 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, 2 tbsp caster sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon powder...(mix these together in a small mixing bowl) , brush 3 layers of phyllo with melted butter, cut into 15x15 cm rectangular size, put in each muffin holes, sprinkle with 1 tsp heapfull of walnut mixture, top with phyllo butter-brushed, fill in with the apple filling (about 1.5 tbsp), enclosed the phyllo until fully covered. Bake in 170C for 15 minutes or the phyllo looks golden brown. Served warm with your favourite ice cream and vla...Yummmbooo....

For pre-heat: brush the pie with melted butter then bake to warm it. Enjoy....

Yoghurt Muffin with MIXED FRUITs

A modification from Sedap Sekejap (local cuisine magazine), a little preface...Yoghurt makes the texture of this muffin smoother and not too heavy like other muffin does....
You could substitute the mixed fruit to other ingredients such as nuts, fresh fruit or choco-chips. For myself, I prefer fruits combination. Well, it's all up to you anyway hehehehe...

Favourite Boiled FruitCake

I always love FruitCake!! I still remember very well when my Dad came back from his meeting or seminar in Jakarta (I was living in Malang, East Java on that time), he always brought a special fruitcake from the cakeshop in Blok-M (too bad, when I finally moved to Jakarta that cakeshop was no longer there and nobody knows where it had been moved :-(( ). I've been looking for this fruitcake recipe since then and the funny thing is I found it in one of my old cake recipes ( I bought the book on '92 or '93). SO, when my parents called me and said that they are coming on Friday (last weekend), I knew that I want to make this fruitcake as their welcome cake hehehehe.

I made the boiled ingredients on Thursday night as I got home from my IELTS course, let it cool overnight. The next very morning, 4.30am, I started to combine the whole ingredients and baked it for 21/2 hours. It's so easy to make and you'll need just to put a LARGE dosage of PATIENCE ;p. Here is the recipe, I copied it from Cake dan Kue Iris by Femina Groups (A Translation from Cakes and Slices from AWP).

Favourite Boiled Fruit Cake

375g sultana, chopped
250g raisins, chopped
250g currant
75g mixed peel
75g glazed cherry, halved
75g dried pineapple, chopped
50g dried apricot, chopped
250g butter
200g dark brown sugar
125ml brandy
100ml water
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp orange zest
1 tsp lemon zest
250g cake flour*
50g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking soda

Directions:
Mix fruits, butter, brown sugar, brandy and water altogether in a large pan. Cook without boiling until sugar has dissolved. Stir frequently. Bring to boil in low heat (put the fire only bit above the minimum level) with closed lid for +/- 10 minutes. Remove from stove. Set aside and cool.
Grease and double lined a 20x20cm or Ø24cm cake tin including its all sides. Let about 5cm extra of parchment paper out from the tin level.
Add eggs, honey, lemon zest and orange zest to boiled fruit mixture, combine well. Add sifted dry ingredients. Pour in to the prepared cake tin. If you like, you could make ornaments using nuts and glazed cherry on top. Bake at 150°C for 2 ½ hours. Wrap cake with aluminium foil, let it cool.
Okie dokie, when you read this sentences, it means that you have read the recipe above ;). I just want to tell you that The result was GREAT!! All of us just couldn't stop ourselves for second oops third oh NO...fourth helping for this fruitcake! The taste is nearly the same like the old fruitcake from the Jakarta's "cakeshop-only-GOD-knows where is it now" I ate before. But dad proclaimed that mine is much better hehehehe.... Thanks Dad... This cake is made with L.O.V.E from me to you and MUM....

KAASTENGELS

My favourite cookies ever!! Cheesy. cheesy. cheesy. This recipe is the ordinary one. I will put the special recipe of Kaastengels that I got from my grandmother later on. But, it doesn't mean that the ordinary Kaastengels is a bad one. No, absolutely NO! What made it different to the special Kaastengels is the amount of cheese used and substitute margarine to butter.
Kaastengels itself is one of traditional cookie of Netherlands. I think, Indonesia got so many Dutch influences when it conquered our country for more than 3 centuries. No wonder, isn't it? hehehehe

Tutty Fruity

I used to make this cake every time I have a lot of egg whites stocks in my fridge. The left over egg whites usually comes after I made chocolate cakes for Rea's Cake Order. Too pity to be wasted.This recipe is the solution hehehe.

Tutty Fruity
By. Ny Liem

Part I:
600ml egg whites
275g caster sugar
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp cake emulsifier
½ tsp vanilla powder

Part III:
75g margarine, melted
extra oil for greasing

Part IV:
Orange essence
Strawberry essence
Pandan Essence or Melon Essence
Mocca Essence of Chocolate Essence

Directions:

1. Preheat steamer.

3. Part I: Beat egg whites until soft peak formed. Add sugar gradually, keep on beating. Add salt, emulsifier and vanilla powder. Beat until double-sized and thick.
4. Fold in Part II in 4 batches. Mix till well combine. Stir in melted margarine (Part III). Fold in slowly with large spoon or spatula so the "air" won't collapse too much until well combined.
5. Divided mixture into 4 parts, drops each essence into it. Mix well.
6. Pour 1 part of the mixture to the prepared mould. Steam for 15 minutes. Pour in again 1 part of the other mixture. Steam for 15 minutes. Repeat this process to the rest of the mixture.
7. Remove from steamer and cake mould. Cooled.

Sour Cream Prune Cake

A good combination of cream cheese and sour cream, I should say. The prunes gives a delicate sweet-sour flavour. Subtitute the prunes with other dried fruits of your favourite.

Sour Cream Prune Cake
(A recipe from Cakes by Periplus Step by Step)

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
Make 1 20 cm baba cake

Ingredients:
60 gr unsalted butter
60 g cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup caster sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tsps finely grated lemon rind
1/3 cup sour cream
½ cup chopped prunes
1 1/3 cup self-raising flour

Directions:
Preheat oven to moderate 180°C.
Brush a deep, 20 cm baba tin with melted butter or oil. Using electric beaters, beat butter, cheese, and sugar in a small mixing bowl until light and creamy.
Add the egg gradually, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add the rind and the sour cream; beat until just combined.
Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl; add prunes. Using a metal spoon, fold in sifted flour. Stir until mixture is almost smooth.
Pour mixture evenly into prepared tin; smooth surface. Bake 35 minuter or until skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre of cake. Leave in tin for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool

Cook’s File:
Storage time: 3 days in a n airtight container in the refrigerator or up to 2 months in the freezer.

Hint: Do not overbeat cake mixture once the sour cream has been added. Overbeating with electric beaters may produce a heavy-textured cake.
