My 1st Cake

Hi everyone,

It's been a while. I was so busy lately with the moving things. I mean i am sure most of you knew it already. I moved to KK on last Sunday. Yes that was our final day in Kudat. Well, I definitely will blog about it later.

For the time being, let me share with you about my 1st cake. My first cake was Steamed Chocolate Moist Cake. The recipe was introduced by Vera Peter.

Here's the recipe:- (Vera izin sya kasi share ni resipi aa hehe :P)

Ingredients:-

120g plain flour
30g cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs lightly beaten
250g fine granulated sugar
150g butter
120 ml evaporated milk

Method:

1. First combine sugar, milk and butter in a saucepan and cook over low heat until sugar dissolved and butter is melted. Leave aside to cool to sightly. Add the beaten eggs into the mixture, stirring as you pour. Mix well.

2. Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl and pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and stir until well mixed. The batter will be runny. Heat up the steamer now.

3. Pour the cake batter into a lined and greased 9" baking pan and place pan into the steamer. Cover the top of the pan loosely with a piece of aluminum foil to prevent droplets from falling on the cake. Steam over medium heat fo 45 minutes or until cooked.

For Chocolate Toppings:

100g bittersweet chocolate chunks
30 g of butter

Bring butter to a boil. Stir until the chocolates has melted and turned smooth then set it aside so it can chill down to room temperature while you wait for your cake to down.

To be honest, I was very nervous  from the process preparation of the ingredients, and during the baking process. Indeed it was my very first time. 

My imaginations ran wild, here and there. What if my cake didn't turn out nice?.. What if.. What if.. oh so many 'What if'..haha.. 

 Tadaaa! The result hehe.. Steamed Chocolate Moist Cake. Turn out nice. Except the height is quite thin, should be thick though. But i guess this is good enough for a beginner like me. :)

Hubby really loves it. 'Mcm di kedai' he said.. hehe

 Okay, that's it for now. I'm so into baking nowadays. Looks like it becomes my new hobby. Really want to get new oven to bake other recipes again in the future.

Till then, have a fun weekend. :D
