Citrus and Oil Bundt Cake

This Citrus and Oil Bundt Cake tastes very much like a sponge cake and a little bit chewy too.  It is delicious, the oil makes it moist and the addition of Cointreau makes the cake all the more flavourful and fragrant.



Citrus and Oil Bundt Cake
Ingredients
  • 240 gm superfine flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • a pinch of salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp fresh zest (orange and lemon)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup squeezed citrus juice (3 Tbsp juice + 1 Tbsp Cointreau)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 150 gm caster sugar
Method
  1. Whisk or sift flour with the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.  Set aside.
  2. Combine the eggs, sugar, zest in a bowl and beat till light and  pale.
  3. Add in juice and vanilla, mix well.
  4. Fold in flour in 3 batches alternating with milk, till fully incorporated.  Batter is runny.
  5. Pour batter into a greased and flour dusted 10 cup bundt pan, tap lightly to expel any air.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for about 50 to 55 mins. till golden brown.  Let cake cool in the pan completely before unmoulding.

Bunga Telang ~ Blue-pea Flower Snow Skin Mooncakes ~ 2013

For a change, I tried  using a premix to make these Snow skin mooncakes and for colour opted to go natural and use the Bunga Telang or Blue-pea flower.   Indeed the purple colour from the flowers was very distinct on its own but once mixed with the flour, I was rather disappointed. It turned out to be blue instead of purple.  Well, the consolation is that the colour is natural.   Taste wise, I would still prefer to make the Snow skin from scratch rather than use a premix.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.
