Baked Egg Cake ~ 烤鸡蛋糕


The recipe for this soft and light Baked Egg Cake is derived from the original recipe for steamed egg cake or Ji Dan Gao  (鸡蛋糕). I like the texture of this cake which is not too sweet and it does pair very well with a hot cup of our local black coffee.

  3. In another clean mixing bowl, whisk egg whites till foamy, add in icing sugar in three batches and whisk till stiff peaks but not dry.
  4. Fold in 1/3 meringue into the flour mixture with a spatula, mix well.  Fold in the remaining meringue, mix thoroughly.
  5. Take out 2 tablespoon batter and mix with the cocoa mixture.
  6. Scoop some plain batter into a lined 8.1/2 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan alternating with the cocoa batter.  Use a skewer to make a swirl pattern.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven @ 170 deg.C for 35 mins.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
  8. Overturn the pan onto a wire rack to let the cake cool completely.   
Note :  The cake will shrink a little as with most sponge cakes.  Trim off the sides before slicing to serve.

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.
