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.

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.

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!

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.
