Nestum Chiffon Cake ~ 麦片戚风蛋糕



What is nestum?  It's a kind of cereal made from a delicious recipe of nutrient rich multi-grains, such as wholewheat, corn, rice and milk, packed with vitamins and minerals. I adapted the recipe for this Nestum Chiffon Cake  from my Black Sesame Chiffon Cake which I posted to share, some time ago.  This chiffon cake is very soft, it can literally 'dance' when you jiggle it!



Nestum Chiffon Cake ~  麦片戚风蛋糕

Ingredients (A)
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 30 gm caster sugar
  • 50 ml vegetable oil
  • 80 ml milk
  • 80 gm superfine flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 25 gm nestum
(B)

  • 6 egg whites
  • 60 gm caster sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice or 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
Method

  1. Sift flour with the baking powder, salt and mix well.  Stir in the nestum cereal.  Mix thoroughly.
  2. Using a ball whisk, whisk the egg yolks with 30 gm sugar till sugar has dissolved.  Stir in the oil little by little till mixture is completely combined.  Add in milk and stir well to mix.
  3. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture with the ball whisk till well combined.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites till bubbles form, add in cream of tartar.  Continue beating, then add in the 60 gm of sugar in three batches and beat till soft peaks form but not dry.
  5. Fold in 1/3 egg whites into the egg mixture with a spatula.  Mix well, then pour the batter into the remaining egg whites, fold till egg whites are fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the batter into an ungreased 23 cm chiffon pan.  Tap the pan on the kitchen top to expel air bubbles.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven @ 170 deg. C for 45 to 50 mins. till golden brown.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.  Remove the pan from the oven and invert immediately to cool completely before unmoulding by hand.

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge.
