Fruit Pastry Cake ~ Revisited


I made this again for a friend's birthday.  I doubled the recipe and made it into a 9 inch square cake.  As it's thicker and bigger the cake took an extra 10 mins. baking time and do remember to cover it with foil for the remaining 15 mins.  As it is now, compared to my previous post, this cake is more brown. 

Before and after baking.


After applying some 'make-up' ..... it certainly  looks pretty!

Do check out the  Recipe from here.

Braised Pork Belly with Lotus Root 莲藕焖猪肉

This is a very simple pork belly dish cooked with fermented bean curd and young lotus root.  I like that the lotus root stays crunchy and blends well with  the equally crispy wood ear fungus.  A comforting dish to serve with a bowl of hot white rice!

Steamed Pork Belly with Shrimp Paste ~ 蝦醬蒸五花腩

  This is an extremely delicious dish to go with white rice or even plain porridge.  You don't have to add in big spoonfuls of shrimp paste for it is salty but some sugar is needed to enhance the taste.  Adding in Shaoxing wine will definitely bring the taste up to the next level.  You'll definitely need more rice to go with this dish..... trust me!

Korean Honey Citron Tea (柚子茶 ) Muffins

  I added a few tablespoonfuls of Korean Honey Citron Tea or Yuzu marmalade to a basic muffin recipe and the muffins were delicious. They were soft, nice, not crumbly with a bit of tangy taste of the Yuzu, well accompanied with a cup of piping hot coffee or tea. These muffins taste best when eaten warm.   A few teaspoonfuls of the marmalade mixed with water can be turned into a hot or cold drink to soothe the throat especially if there's a first sign of a cough. Korean Honey Citron Tea (柚子茶 ) Muffins     Ingredients 220 gm plain flour 70 gm caster sugar 2 tsp baking powder 5 Tbsp honey citron tea (Yuzu tea) marmalade 1 'L'egg 160 gm plain yoghurt 80 gm vegetable oil 1/4 tsp vanilla a pinch of salt Method Sift flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. Beat egg with oil, add in sugar, beat well.  Then add in the yoghurt followed by the Yuzu marmalade.  Beat till well incorporated. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.  Mix till jus...
