Black Russian Bundt Cake ~ 尔罗斯黑蛋糕



This Black Russian Cake gets its name from the famous cocktail made with Vodka and Kahlua, a coffee flavoured liqueur.   As with most liqueur soaked cakes, this cake is very moist and delicious. Although I modified the recipe a  bit, as in cutting down the sugar and the cocoa, the cake was incredibly good and the coffee liqueur gave it a rich and unique flavour.  The cake tasted much better upon 'maturity', the next day.  A keeper recipe for sure!

Recipe for Black Russian Bundt Cake ~  尔罗斯黑蛋糕   (adapted from 'here' with modification)

    Ingredients

    • 7 oz plain flour
    • 2.1/2 oz cornflour
    • 1.1/2 oz milk powder
    • 4 Tbsp cocoa powder  (reduced from 6 Tbsp)
    • 1 Tbsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 9.1/2 oz caster sugar (reduced from 14 oz)
    • 2 oz butter
    • 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
    • 3/4 cup milk
    • 1 Tbsp vanilla
    • 4 large eggs
    • 1/4 cup Vodka (I substituted with water)
    • 1/3 cup Kahlua
    • 1/4 cup Kahlua to drizzle
    Method

    1. Grease a 10 cup Bundt cake pan, dust with some cocoa powder, set aside.
    2. Sift flour, cornflour, dry milk powder, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl.  Add in sugar and mix well.
    3. Add butter, oil, milk and vanilla to the dry ingredients.
    4. Beat with a mixer till batter is smooth.
    5. Add eggs till well combined.  Add in Vodka/water and Kahlua, mix evenly.
    6. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake in a preheated oven @ 165 deg. C for 45 to 50 mins.   Let cool in pan for about 25 mins. before inverting onto a wire rack to cool.
    7. Wash the Bundt pan and when the cake is cool, put  back into the pan and poke holes on the surface of the cake.
    8. Drizzle on the Kahlua.  Let the cake mature in the pan, overnight.
    9. Unmould the cake, drizzle on some icing sugar or snow powder.  Serve.

    I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I already subscribed to your blog and this was the first thing on my feed. I thought "hey I wonder if she saw my recipe" and lo and behold! I love that you adapted it to your own tastes and enjoyed the result. I recently remade it with a few tweaks and I still love it as much as before (even more possibly). Now that I've gotten the trick down for adapting cake mix recipes to being totally homemade (I have replacements for vanilla and chocolate cake mixes that I use), I'm excited to try this for other bundt cakes as well. Thanks again for trying this!

      Hi. I was so glad to stumble upon your blog. You have a fantastic blog, love it. I'd love to see your other 'creations' and perhaps can 'copycat' them, if I have the ingredients. Thanks for sharing your recipes. Hope to see you here more often. Happy Lunar Chinese New Year to you and your family!

    Hi Cheah!
    I love me a good Black Russian, or White Russian for that matter:) The only thing that could possibly be better is in cake form, Bundt Cake even better!!! National Kahlua Day is right around the corner. I'll be saving this recipe to celebrate!

Double Boiled Herbal Chicken Soup

Double boiling is slow cooking ........ means to put a soup pot or any covered ceramic or steel pot inside a bigger pot, immerse in boiling water, and let the soup cook at a lower temperature.  Hence the soup is cooked from heat generated from the boiling water and not from direct heat source. Double boiling lets the soup ingredients slowly release their nutrients into the soup, thus making it tasty and wholesome.  It's a long cooking process, roughly averaging 2 to 4 hours.  The tip is not to open the cover to check on the soup as it'll bring down the temperature and affect the cooking process.  The plus point is there's little evaporation and the soup will not boil over.  The only thing is to monitor that there's enough water in the bigger pot and not let it run dry.  Of course, nowadays, the slow cooker is another alternative to double boiling, saves the hassle of checking the water level.

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.
