Marble Bundt Cake


I baked this cake from a very old recipe that was on my-to-do list for a long, long time.  Using very basic ingredients, this cake is moist and the brandy blended very well with the chocolate and orange flavours.















A cup of piping hot black tea will certainly go well with a piece of this marble cake.

Ingredients
  • 7.1/2 oz butter
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 5 egg whites
  • 8 oz caster sugar
  • 14 oz plain flour
  • 1.1/2 oz bittersweet couverture, melted
  • 10 Tbsp milk
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon/orange  ( I used orange)
  • 1.3/4  Tbsp brandy
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • Icing sugar to dust on top of the cake  (optional)
Method
  1. Sift flour with baking powder, salt, set aside.
  2. Cream butter and sugar till light and creamy.  Add in egg yolks.  Mix well.
  3. Add in sifted flour alternating with the milk.  Add in zest and brandy.  Mix well.
  4. Beat egg whites till stiff but not dry, fold into the flour mixture.
  5. Add in the melted chocolate into half batter.  Leave the other half plain.
  6. Spoon alternate batters into  a lightly greased and floured 9 inch Bundt pan.  Swirl with a knife for a marble effect.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 mins. in  a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C till golden brown.  Test with skewer till it comes out clean.
  8. Let cake cool in pan for about 10 mins. before unmoulding to cool on a wire rack.

    Love the beautiful marbling. I notice by beating the egg white separately it gives a lighter texture to the cake.

    Grease and flour the mould even though it's non-stick, the cake will come out smoothly.

    You can't go wrong with investing in a bundt mould.

      Yes, in oz/ounces. If you're not familiar with ounces, then you can convert to grams. Use the Conversion Calculator under Useful Links at the bottom right corner. Hope this helps!

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Chicken Floss Cake ~ 鸡肉松蛋糕

It's normal to find buns coated with meat floss in any bakery, but yet to find a meat floss coated piece of cake.  I saw this Chicken Floss Cake on youtube and was eager to give this a shot.  The recipe is quite similar to a chiffon cake and I was curious to find out the taste which should be slightly sweetish and saltish.  Wouldn't it be weird, I wonder.  But it turned out that the taste is rather unique with a light and soft texture and my family members gave me a thumbs up and asked for more! Chicken Floss Cake ~  鸡肉松蛋糕           Ingredients (A) 4 egg yolks 40 ml oil 50 ml milk 65 gm plain flour, sifted Chicken floss White sesame seeds Chopped spring onions (optional) a pinch of salt (B)  4 egg whites        40 gm caster sugar Method In a bowl, beat egg yolks, add in oil, mix well, then add in milk. Mix in sifted flour till well combined. In another clean bowl, beat egg whites till frothy, then add in sugar in 2 batches and beat til
