Yummylicious Experiments

It's my passion and I love it. Enough said.

The Blueberry Chiffon Cake was tasty, but the colour was hideous, so it's not suitable to load the picture online. That will probably scare people away! LOL

Anyway, I got hooked on my Kenwood, so I baked another Chiffon Cake today! Orange Chiffon Cake! Got the recipe from Aunty Yochana. The cake tastes YUMMY and refreshing with the orange flavour! The texture was light and fluffy, and it was not dry.

The recipe calls for Orange Emulco, but since I don't use it all the time, the emulco will probably expire the second time I think about using it again. So instead, I used orange rind, which is more convenient and natural, it also exudes the strong orange flavor the cake needs.

I've got a new toy added to my baking needs!



A Kenwood Patissier MX270! I've been browsing high and low for a cake mixer to satisfy my baking addiction! For an avid baker, the preferred brands are either Kenwood or Kitchen Aid mixers for their performance and style, and a brand new one usually costs a bomb!

So I came across someone selling a few months old Kenwood Patissier on Kitchen Caper. It's a $120+ cheaper than a new one and the warranty lasts till May 2009. After asking Popo and Mong for their opinions and TADA! It's now sitting happily in my kitchen!

I've already started baking my first cake with KP! Like what Mong says, mixing the ingredients with a good cake mixer is a breeze, and it indeed is! Comparing to my old hand electric beater! At least my hands don't ache after beating the egg whites to stiff peaks! Less than 5 minutes later, I got my stiff egg whites!

The blueberry chiffon cake is now happily baking in the oven! Photos coming in later!

So while I was trying to avoid the rain on my way back home after a good lunch with Pei, I managed to grab Alex Goh's 'Baking Code' from Popular Bookstore. Local cookbooks are always the best plus the steps in his book are clear and precise, which is good!

Anyhow, I tried out his recipe on Traditional Butter Cake. And it was yummy!

Something Ailing missed out due to her food poisoning. Hope you get well soon!

Dad's finally out of hospital! So I finally got down to making my mousse cake! Since mum celebrated her birthday in hospital, this should make her taste buds happy!

Got the recipe from Baking Mum's Blog and switched the fruit to Mango. Wheeeee! Good durian gives good durian mousse cake! This is the most satisfying bake ever! YUMMMM!!!

Durian Mousse Cake

Durian Mousse Cake


Durian Mousse Cake

Spongecake
Ingredients
4 eggs
100g cake flour
100g castor sugar
12g spongecake stabiliser
25g milk
90g melted butter
  1. Put all ingredients except butter into mixer.
  2. Beat on high speed until ribbon stage.
  3. Add in melted butter and mix thoroughly.
  4. Bake at 190 degree celcius for 20 min with an 8" round baking tin.
  5. Leave cake to cool when baked.
  6. Slice cake into 4 portions and cool further.

Durian Mousse Filling
Ingredients
450g durian puree (about 1 - 1.5 durian)
20g gelatine
450g whipped cream

  1. Boil puree and gelatin powder until gelatine powder dissolved.
  2. Leave to cool outside, do not cool in the fridge.
  3. Once cooled, fold in whipped cream.
  4. With the use of a cake ring, assemble cake and durian mousse together.
  5. Once assembled, store in fridge for 3 - 4 hours for filling to set.

I didn't decorate the exterior of my cake as I need to halve the cake for my colleagues. But you can decorate it with whipped cream on the exterior.

If you don't like durian, just switch the fruit. I tried Mango Mousse cake with the same recipe. Nice! Will post the recipe the next time I bake, 'cause it includes the Mango Mirror recipe for the top of the cake. I heard Honeydew Mousse is good too!

My creations this weekend! Weird thing is, I can't seem to achieve the vibrant colours when I use buttercream. Whipped cream seems to be a better option! Shall try that again next time! Here are the end products!
