Rum & Raisin Bundt Cake ~ 朗姆酒和葡萄干蛋糕


It's been a while since I've baked a Bundt cake.  As I need to finish up the Rum in the pantry, I surfed the internet for a Rum cake recipe without having to have a cake mix as one of the ingredients.  I managed to locate one, modified it a bit and here's the recipe which I am going to share with you today.  This cake is slightly dense but moist, full of Rum flavour and aromatic, but trust me you  won't get drunk after eating it!






Rum & Raisin Bundt Cake  ~  朗姆酒和葡萄干蛋糕 (adapted from 'here' with modification)
Ingredients
  • 280 gm butter
  • 250 gm caster sugar
  • 4 'L' eggs
  • 42 gm milk powder
  • 320 gm plain flour (take out 2 Tbsp to mix with the raisins)
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 Tbsp Rum
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 80 gm raisins soaked in 4 Tbsp Rum
Rum Glaze
  • 2 Tbsp water boiled with 3 Tbsp sugar till sugar is dissolved
  • 2 Tbsp Rum, mix well
Method
  1. Prepare a 10 cup Bundt pan.  Grease with butter and dust with flour.
  2. Soak the raisins with Rum for a few hours or overnight.  
  3. Strain the raisins and mix with 2 Tbsp flour to prevent the raisins from sinking to the bottom.  Keep the Rum liquid.
  4. Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt, set aside.
  5. In a mixer, beat the butter with sugar till light and creamy.
  6. Add in the eggs one by one, mix well.
  7. Fold in the flour alternating with the milk till well combined.
  8. Add in the milk powder and vanilla.
  9. Mix in the Rum liquid, add more to make up 3 Tbsp.
  10. Mix in the raisins and stir to fully combined.
  11. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan.  Level the surface.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 55 to 60 mins. till golden brown.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
  13. Remove from the oven.  Poke holes in the cake and brush on the Rum glaze.   Let cake sit in the pan to cool completely, unmould and brush on more Rum glaze.   Alternatively you may let the cake sit in the pan overnight before unmoulding and applying more Rum glaze.

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 those who love durian. 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

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.

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.
