Japanese Black Pearl Chiffon Cake ~ 日式黑珍珠戚风蛋糕


This Japanese Black Pearl Chiffon Cake has been baked by many bloggers and all of them gave the thumbs up for this recipe.  So, how can I give this a miss it and not try it out myself.   I was so pleased with the result and the cake stayed moist and soft even after being kept refrigerated for a couple of days.  Definitely a keeper recipe!

  • 5 egg yolks
  • 60 ml corn/canola oil
  • 100 ml milk
  • 130 gm dark cooking chocolate
  • 55 gm plain flour
  • 25 gm cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Snow powder and choc chips for decoration (optional)
(B)
  • 5 egg whites
  • 80 gm caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Method

  2. Sift plain flour, twice and on the third time, sift together with the baking soda and baking powder.  Sift in the cocoa powder and mix well with a whisk.
  3. In a large bowl, with a ball whisk beat egg yolks, oil, milk and melted chocolate.  Stir well.
  4. With a ball whisk, mix the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture into a smooth paste.
  5. Whisk egg whites till bubbles form, add salt and lemon juice.  When the egg whites have increased in volume, gradually add in sugar and beat till stiff peaks form, but not dry.
  6. Fold egg whites into yolk mixture in three batches, till well combined.
  7. Pour batter into an ungreased 22 cm chiffon cake pan, gently tap the pan on the worktop to dispel any air bubbles.
  8. Place pan onto the lower rack of the preheated oven and bake at 180 deg.C for about 45 to 50 mins.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
  9. Invert cake immediately and unmould the cake when it's completely cooled.  Use a thin blade knife or spatula to go round the sides of the pan and the centre core, and remove the base from the cake.
  10. Decorate with snow powder and choc chips, if desired.

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.

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.
