The last time I baked cake was at my Form 3 Home Science lesson in school.
Yesterday, I finally baked again. These 20 over years, I didn't bake because I don't have an oven. What kind of excuse right? Thanks to Chloe's mummy, she let me know that I can actually steam a cake. I super love the very simple recipe that she shared in her
blog.
Before I started, I told my girls that I was going to bake them Chocolate Moist Cake for supper. When their tuition was over and they came out from their room, they saw Chocolate Short Cake. I purposely stacked up 3 layers, just for illustration purpose.
I must blame the new pan that I bought yesterday. The ingredients are meant for only a mini loaf pan, but I used the 9 inches round pan. The batter wasn't enough to fill up the pan, I tried to flat the batter more, so that it could spread evenly on all the surface of the pan. That is why chocolate short cake.
My all time successful dessert for my girls, konnyaku jellies with kiwi and strawberry. I had finally used the jelly moulds that Amelia gave me. Thanks again, Amelia.
The most satisfying moment was to see my girls indulging in Cooking Mama's food. They finished off the konnyaku jellies, and left some short cakes as the next day breakfast.
I will definitely
bake steam the chocolate moist cake again. This time, I will double up the ingredients.

ReplyDeleteKakakaka, sorry but I could help laughing at your maiden bake - Short Cake, interesting nickname for your cake.
ReplyDeleteAppearance doesn't really matter as long as they finished fast - that's the best proof that your cake is delicious. 2nd batch is coming, my verdict :)
Practice makes perfect, I'm sure you'll improve!
ReplyDeleteThe jelly looks tempting!
The cakes look ok for me...Yan, as long as your gals loves it, that is best thing right? Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try steam chocolate cake too. Do share your recipe. Your girls eat supper all the time?

hahahaha, so the chocolate moist cake becomes chocolate short cake.. oh, so now i think i understand why they call that a short cake, really because it's shorter?? or because of some other reason??
ReplyDeleteanyway, from your girls' expression, i know they taste very nice albeit you've not been baking (or steaming) a cake for 20 years.. wow~~
ReplyDeletewill definitely try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteYou are so hardworking. Preparing supper for your children everyday! By the look on their face, you have succeeded lar..:)
ReplyDeletebtw, I love konyaku jellies! Must try to do it one day for my kids too.
Sheoh Yan,
ReplyDeleteThe jelly looks nice and tempting. Wont mind having a few myself lol. Your girls seems to enjoyed your baking. keep it up.
Mmmm...the cake look so soft and fluffy. I have tried steaming choc cake and banana cakes too because I don't have an oven :) Oh, i followed one recipe before where you can melt some chocolates and pour them on top of the cake :) Do you know that I have never made konyaku jellies before? I think i should try one day cos yours look so delicious!
ReplyDeleteYes, you need to double the recipe cos the original one is too small and too little for your family of 4. Hope it wasn't too sweet for you. Next time you can even try reducing the sugar by half ;)
ReplyDeleteOh by the way, your fruity konnyaku jellies are so beautiful! I can never successfully make them though... dunno why always tak jadi :( It just won't set properly!
