#BundtaMonth : Guinness Chocolate Bundt Cake


This is a luscious rich, moist chocolately cake.  The Guinness stout does pair well with the chocolate, although the taste of stout is not overwhelming.  Definitely tastes much better the next day.






Recipe for Guinness Chocolate Cake  (adapted from Nigella Lawson with slight modification)

    Ingredients
    • 250 ml Guinness Stout   
    • 250 gm butter
    • 45 gm cocoa powder
    • 220 gm brown sugar
    • 110 gm caster sugar
    • 3/8 cup yoghurt (measuring cup halfway between 1/4 and 1/2)
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/2  Tbsp vanilla
    • 275 gm plain flour
    • 2.1/2  tsp baking soda
    • A pinch of salt
    Method
    1. Sift the flour with baking soda and salt, set aside.
    2. Melt the butter and Guinness stout.  Remove from heat, add sugar, cocoa and whisk together.  Let cool.
    3. Beat yoghurt, eggs and vanilla till thoroughly combined.
    4. Add to stout mixture and whisk together. 
    5. Add sifted flour and whsk again till smooth.  Batter is a bit runny.
    6. Pour batter into a well greased and floured Bundt pan.
    7. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg C for 50 to 60 mins.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
    8. Let cake cool in the pan and unmould the cake when it is completely cooled to prevent sticking.

      You can't taste the Stout, Kimmy. Guinness is supposed to be good for the body, taken once in a while!

      Thank you, Mui Mui. When you bake this cake, make sure you grease the bundt pan generously and dust it with flour. The cake can be quite sticky.

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.

Durian Butter Cake ~ 榴莲牛油蛋糕

  It's the durian season again and I'm sharing with you a simple yet fragrant Durian Butter Cake.  This recipe does not use the traditional butter totally, in fact there is oil too.  Liquid oil tends to make the cake softer and stays moist longer as it does not solidify at room temperature.  This cake is soft and moist with a tinge of durian flavour and aroma.  A breakfast or Tea time snack for durian lovers. Durian Butter Cake ~  榴莲牛油蛋糕 Ingredients 150 gm unsalted butter 190 gm plain flour 2 tsp baking powder 30 ml vegetable oil 85 gm caster sugar 3 'L' eggs 130 gm pureed durian flesh 4 Tbsp milk a pinch of salt 1/4 teaspoon vanilla Method Sift flour with baking powder and salt.  Set aside. Beat butter with sugar till well blended, add in oil and continue beating till pale and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time, mix well. Add in pureed durian flesh, mix till well incorporated. Sift in again the sifted flour in 2 batches, alternating with the milk.  Fold in till well inc
